NOTE:The "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 8 seconds after the ignition
is turned on.
- Never lean on the center console.
- Never sit on one side of the front
passenger seat.

- Never place feet on the dashboard.
!
WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal airbag
system senses less weight than if the
occupant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor). This condition can result
in an adult potentially being
misclassified and illumination of the
"PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator.
- Never excessively recline the front
passenger seatback.
- Never sit with hips shifted towards
the front of the seat.

CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger's front airbag is connected
with the occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will illuminate and
the passenger's front airbag will not in-
flate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains 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 occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. Children
who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system in the rear
seat.
o If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat, the "PASS AIR BAG
OFF" indicator may be turned on or off
for a few seconds, disabling or en-
abling the passenger airbags.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI56
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemen-
tal to the driver's and the passenger's
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. The airbags
deploy only in certain side impact
conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
o For best protection from the side im-
pact airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side impact
airbag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened. 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.

Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Airbag SystemFollowing is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
B990B01TG-AATSide Impact AirbagsYour Hyundai is equipped with seat-
mounted side impact airbag in each front
seat and in the outboard rear seating po-
sitions. The purpose of the airbag is to
provide the vehicle's occupants with addi-
tional protection than that offered by the
seat belt alone. The side impact airbags
are designed to deploy only during certain
side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The side impact airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situ-
ations, collisions from the front or rear of
the vehicle or in most rollover situations.

!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the
side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and your-
self.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side
impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid impact
to the side impact sensor when the
ignition key is on.
WARNING:
B990C01JM-AATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and the
rear outboard seat occupants in certain
side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to de-
ploy only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact. The curtain
airbags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.

WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints , al-
ways refer to the "Child Restraint
System" section to ensure correct
installation and occupant protection
is maximized.
o Make sure that the occupant does not
have any body parts (head, arms &
legs) protruding outside the restrain-
ing system. If an inflating airbag was
to strike an infant child on the head, it
may cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Curtain
Airbag System remains unobstructed
at all times, so that the airbags can
inflate properly if needed.Important Safety Notes for Curtain
Airbag SystemsFollowing is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.

B240C01NF-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
so there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS "AIRBAG" warning
light does not illuminate, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle immedi-
ately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
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
handling of the SRS system may result in
serious personal injury.

WARNING:
o The built in coat hooks should only be
used for light weight clothing. Ensure
that clothing pockets are free of any
heavy or sharp objects. When using
coat hooks, do not hang clothes on
coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant and
the curtain airbag must never be oc-
cupied by children, passengers or
pets. Occupants should never lean
out or have any parts of their body
protruding from the window while the
engine is running.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover
the side window if there is an item
attached to it such as garage door
remote control, pens, compact disc
pocket, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if the
Curtain Airbag is deployed.
o Where sun blinds are fitted to the rear
doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the airbag in any way.o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag
deployment zones, as this may im-
pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Airbag system, any work, removal
or installation of the airbag and asso-
ciated components (such as roof lin-
ing and side trims) should always be
performed by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

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 child could be severely injured by
an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
!
!
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 result in
injury, due to accidental inflation 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 pre-
cautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could in-
crease the risk of personal injury.
!
WARNING:
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain
that this manual is transferred to the
new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI60
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap or in your mouth can
result in injuries if an airbag inflates.
oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifi-
cation of the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing components
or side impact airbags.
oDo not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious injury or death in
a crash.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with your seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and your
feet on the floor. oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the rear
seat.
B240D01NF-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 mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a
seat belt during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the inside of
the vehicle, against other occupants, or
out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain
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 provided
by the seat belt and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
