29DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
B240A01A-AAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stage
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence are the
letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger's side front panel
above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is
to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of
a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
B240A03A
Driver's AirbagThe dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sen-
sors to gather information about the driver's
and front passenger's seat position, the
driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat posi-
tion sensors determine if the seats are fore or
aft of a reference position. Similarly, the seat
belt usage sensors determine if the driver and
front passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment's pressure based on how
close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,
how close the passenger's seat is to the
instrument panel and whether or not the seat
belts are fastened.
The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control
the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. A
lower pressure level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A higher-pressure level is pro-
vided for more severe impacts.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supple-
mental to, the driver's and the
passenger's three point seat belt sys-
tems and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore, your seat belts must be worn
at all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in certain
frontal impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will
not deploy in side, rear or rollover im-
pacts. Additionally, the airbags will only
deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be
worn at all times.
!
o Dual-stage inflating airbags are com-
bined with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provided enhanced occupant pro-
tection in frontal crashes. Front airbags
are not intended to deploy in light
collisions in which protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.

WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teen-
agers and older) must ride in the front
seat, make sure they are always prop-
erly belted and that the seat is moved
back as far as possible.WARNING:o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants includ-
ing the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the occu-
pant causing serious or fatal injuries.
!!
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, airbags
will not deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. If you are sitting too
close to the airbag, it can cause death
or serious injury when it inflates.

The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-
quire airbag deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will blink for about 6
seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position or after the engine is started,
after which the SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box. When
the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to
the front of the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or
the passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-
ing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility.

!!WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
baby could be severely injured by an
airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to pos-
sible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deployment
of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove box, because
any such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough to
cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
B240C01A-AAT
SRS Care
o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be
inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer
in 10 years after the date that the vehicle
was manufactured.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed by
a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper han-
dling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.

Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be
checked at least once a month with the engine
turned off.
To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft
and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your
finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 1/3 of an inch. If the belt is too
loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.CRANK PULLEY

Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioner should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air con-
ditioning system is not otherwise in use.
G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioner Opera-
tion
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioner set
at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for ex-
tended periods of time with a low refrigerant
level may damage the compressor.

hasn't been driven more than one mile
or 1.6 km since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.
I040A01A-AAT
SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires
should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise,
poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the glove
box, or up to the maximum pressure shown on
the tire sidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires. These pressures were chosen to provide the
most satisfactory combination of ride comfort,
tire wear and stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures in-
crease the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
