The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after whichthe SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both inthe center of the steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.

! CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument clus- ter nor on the instrument panel sur-face. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (in- strument cluster, instrument panelor air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air fresh- ener does leak onto these areas,wash them with water immediately.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expansionof the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.

!WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be re-placed after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem- bly mechanisms become hot dur- ing activation. Do not touch thepre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner. o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, andfailure to heed the warnings to notstrike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead toimproper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve- hicle.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected withthe pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for ap-proximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it shouldturn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbagsystem. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or ifit illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an au- thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag system as soon as possible.!

B240B03A-GAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Pre-tensioner seat belt
- Front impact sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat position sensors
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
B240B01L Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.
The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after whichthe 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 aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.

tem in the front passenger seatposition.
o A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front seat.The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de- ployment in case of an accident. B240C01HP
B240C02Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer 10 years after thedate that the vehicle was manufac- tured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must beperformed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such ob- jects may become dangerous pro- jectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal injury, avoid impact to the side impactairbag sensor when the ignition key is on.

B260J01S-GATCharging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunctionin the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle andbring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi-cates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4 specifications should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediatelyand carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is expe- rienced, the vehicle should not be drivenat all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service or some other safe method.Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheelseven if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only halfof the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine couldoverheat because this belt also drives the water pump.! B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approachingempty. When it comes on, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level warning light on orwith the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage the catalytic converter.
B260L02HP-GAT Door Ajar Warning Light and Chime (If Installed)
The door ajar warning light warns you that a door is not completely closed and the chime warns you that the key is inthe ignition switch. NOTE : The warning chime only sounds whenever the key is in the ignition switch and the driver's side frontdoor is open simultaneously. The chime sounds until the key is re- moved from the ignition switch or the driver's side front door is closed.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to notstrike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead toimproper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor vehicle.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
!WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severe enough to likely cause significantinjury to the vehicle occupants.
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe back of the sun visor and in the glove box.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in thesteering wheel and on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in thecentre of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to
