CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster
nor on the instrument panel surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas
(Instrument cluster, instrument panel or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air
freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-
ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-
mation 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
track position sensors, which are installed
on the seat track, determine if the seats
are fore or aft of a reference position. The
seat belt buckle sensors determine if the
driver and front passenger's seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deployment
based on how close the driver's seat is to
the steering wheel, how close the
passenger's seat is to the instrument
panel, whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the impact is.The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls
the airbag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the front
passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-
sification System" later in this section.
B240A02NF-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front
AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced 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 steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box.Driver's Front Airbag

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. Deployed airbags WILL NOT
inflate again and will provide no pro-
tection in subsequent collisions.
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
deployment of the airbags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, 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 deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
o Children younger than 13 years must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If a
child over 13 must be seated in the
front seat, he or she must be prop-
erly belted and the seat should be
moved as far back as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an
airbag is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of
a crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-
sarily close to the airbag while the
vehicle is in motion.!

Side Impact
Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. In addition, front
airbags will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deployment
threshold.
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should
never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the airbags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can be se-
verely injured by inflating airbags.

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-
ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter-
mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is
severe enough to require airbag deploy-
ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-
ment.
The SRS "AIRBAG" warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position or after the engine is
started, after which the "AIRBAG" warn-
ing light should go out.
B240B01L
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags. 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 suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of the
vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
front airbags.
B240B02L
A fully inflated airbag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
or the passenger's forward motion, re-
ducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag imme-
diately starts deflating, enabling the driver
to maintain forward visibility and the abil-
ity to steer or operate other controls.

o 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 panel
or 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.
WARNING:
o If an airbag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These con-
ditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous - the airbags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust generated
during airbag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as ag-
gravate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light
does not illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating for
about 6 seconds when the ignition
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
vehicle immediately inspected by
your Hyundai dealer.
Passenger's Front Airbag
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a ve-
hicle with a passenger's airbag. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's airbag inflates.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
!
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 inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, 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 re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on floor-
ing, you shouldn't try to start the
engine; have the car towed to an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

when service is not performed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own mainte-
nance and repairs, you may find it
helpful to have an official Hyundai
Shop Manual. A copy of this publica-
tion may be purchased at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department.
