WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op-
erate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts must be
replaced. All seat belts, of any type,
should always be replaced after they
have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot during
activation. Do not touch the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies for
several minutes after they have been
activated.o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts your-
self. This must be done by an autho-
rized 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, and
failure to heed the warnings to not
strike, modify, inspect, replace, ser-
vice or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to improp-
er operation or inadvertent activa-
tion and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when
driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat
belt must be discarded, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS
airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition key has
been turned to the "ON" position,
and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS airbag.
!
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may ap-
pear to be smoke, may be visible in
the passenger compartment. These
are normal operating conditions and
are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash your hands and face thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.If the SRS airbag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, re-
mains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the advanced
SRS airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.

WARNING:
If a seat track position sensor or an
occupant classification system is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the SRS airbag
warning light is connected with the seat
track position sensor and the occupant
classification system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.

BAG
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat track
position sensor and cause the airbag
to deploy at a different level than
should be provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could dam-
age the seat track position sensor or
interfere with the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat track position sen-
sor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the topside of the sun visor.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in
which sufficient protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat
belt.
o If you are considering modification
of your vehicle due to a disability,
please contact the Hyundai Cus-
tomer Assistance Center at 1-800-
633-5151.

WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit
upright with the seat back in an up-
right position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.
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 occupant causing seri-
ous or fatal injuries.

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 "AIR BAG" 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 "AIR BAG" 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 "AIR BAG" 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.

o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS "AIR
BAG" warning light to illuminate.
WARNING:
The occupant classification system cre-
ates a field which is designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the
passenger's front air bag should be en-
abled (may inflate) or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or controlled
by the occupant classification system.Main components of occupant clas-
sification system• An Electronic Capacity measurement

Occupant classification systemYour vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of an appropriate size, and he/she sits
properly, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will be turned off and the
front passenger's air bag will be able to
inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes
(sitting properly means sitting upright with
the seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor).
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
This system detects the conditions 1~4 in
the following table and activates or deac-
tivates the front passenger air bag based
on these conditions.

WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple-
mental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems and
is not a substitute for them. There-
fore your seat belts must be worn at
all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and to avoid
being injured by the deploying side
impact airbag, both front seat occu-
pants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should be
placed on the steering wheel at the
9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat cov-
ers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.

Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
If the light comes on at any other time, you
should slow the vehicle and bring it to a
complete stop in a safe location off the
roadway. The brake fluid level warning
light indicates that the brake fluid level in
the brake master cylinder is low and
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT
4 specifications should be added. After
adding fluid, if no other trouble is found,
the car should be immediately and
carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer
for inspection. If further trouble is experi-
enced, the vehicle should not be driven at
all but taken to a dealer by a professional
towing service.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the brake circuits is damaged or
malfunctions. With only one of the circuits
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required
to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop
in as short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
