Hyundai Atos 2002 Owner's Manual

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1-14 B240C01X-EAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10years after the date that the car was manufac-ture. Any work on the airbag system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in serious personal injury. WARNING:
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifica-tions to the body structure, can adverse-ly affect SRS performance and lead topossible injury.
o For cleaning the horn pad, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has beenmoistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbagcover and proper deployment of the sys-tem.
o No objects should be placed over or near the label identifying the airbag on thesteering wheel and instrument panel,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re- leased through out the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, or comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's for-ward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air
fresherer inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel pad surface. If there is anyleakage from the air fresherer onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage theseparts. If the liquid from the air freshererdoes leak onto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1-15
o If the airbag inflate, it 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 airbag orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failure tofollow these precautions and procedurescould increase the risk of personal inju-ry.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner of these important pointsand make certain that this manual istransferred to the new owner togetherwith the vehicle.
o If your vehicle was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring,you shouldn't try to start engine; havethe car towed to authorized Hyundaidealer.

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal trav-el and greater pedal pressure are required tostop the car. Also, the car will not stop in asshort a distance with only half of the brakesystem working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional en-gine braking and stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so.
