1- 30 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
!
B990B04Y-GAT
Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The side impact airbags are not de-
signed to deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING:o When the SRS is activated, there may
be a loud noise and fine dust will be
released throughout the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous. However, the fine dust gener-
ated during airbag deployment may
cause skin irritation. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed.

WARNING:o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not come on, or
continuously remains on, after flash-
ing for about 6 seconds when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ON" position,
or after the engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your vehi-
cle immediately inspected by your
Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position or
remove the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag related fuse(s)
when the ignition key is in the "ON"
position. Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS SRI to illuminate.

sound may come and go or be heard all the time
when the vehicle is moving. It may also be
heard when the brake pedal is pushed down
firmly. Expensive rotor damage will result if the
worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai
dealer immediately.
