SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" position or afterthe engine is started, after which it will go out. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI does not come on orilluminates continuously when the ignition key isturned to "ON", or continuously remains on afterflashing for about 6 seconds when you turned theignition key to the "ON" position or started theengine, or if it comes on while driving, have theSRS inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer. B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System will come on and thengo off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI remainson, comes on while driving, or does not come onwhen the key is turned to the "ON" position, thisindicates that there may be a problem with theABS.If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by yourHyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normalbraking system will still be operational, but with-out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. B260F01A-AAT

B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrumentpanel show the direction indicated by the turnsignals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink,blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notilluminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signalsystem is indicated. Your dealer should be con-sulted for repairs. B260G01A-AAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:If the oil pressure warning light stays onwhile the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficientoil pressure. In normal operation, it shouldcome on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. Ifthe oil pressure warning light stays on whilethe engine is running, there may be a seriousmalfunction.If this happens, stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 14 shoulder belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating height sothat the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, asthis could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rear seat of yourvehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys- tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the boot or fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop or anaccident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and berestrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center of thevehicle may help provide a good shoulderbelt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/
B230A02GK-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. According to accidentstatistics, children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the front seat.Larger children not in a child restraint should useone of the seat belts provided.You are required by law to use safety restraintsfor children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the manufacturerwhen installing the child restraint system.

Install the child restraint system, bucklethe seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up anyslack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt istight around the child restraint system and theshoulder portion of the belt is positioned so thatit cannot interfere with the child's head or neck.After installation of the child restraint system, tryto move it in all directions to be sure the childrestraint system is securely installed.If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbingtoward the retractor. When you unbuckle theseat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor willautomatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de- scribed, have the system checked imme-diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:Do not install any child restraint system in thefront passenger seat. Should an accidentoccur and cause the passenger side airbagto deploy, it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infant or childseat. Therefore, only use a child restraintsystem in the rear seat of your vehicle. B230B02GK-GAT Using a Child Restraint System with "Tether Anchorage" System For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required. This child seat orinfant seat should be of appropriate size for thechild and should be installed in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions. It is further re-quired that the seat be placed in the vehicle's rearseat since this can make an important contribu-tion to safety. Your vehicle is provided with twochild restraint hook holders for installing the childseat or infant seat.

Driver's Airbag
B240A01GK-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)(Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of thesystem's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the ornament in the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel padabove the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel abovethe glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that of-fered by the seat belt system alone, in case of afrontal impact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated aloneor, where the frontal collision is severeenough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac- tivated, a loud noise may be heard and finedust, which may appear to be smoke, maybe visible in the passenger compartment.These are normal operating conditionsand are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not bebreathed for prolonged periods. Wash yourhands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat beltswere activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat beltalso.
o If there is some function in the pre- tensioner seat belt circuit, the warninglight will illuminate even if there is nomalfunction in the SRS airbag system. Ifthe SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate or illuminates continuouslywhen the ignition key is turned to "ON", orif it remains illuminated after blinking forapproximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-nates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and orSRS airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. Allseat belts, of any type, should always bereplaced after they have been worn duringa collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
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 heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent acti-vation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

o The driver should sit back as far as pos- sible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to theairbag, it can cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS onthe labels provided on the backside of thesun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. In addition, the airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of thevehicle and will not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, the airbagswill only deploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in which protection canbe provided by the seat belt alone.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, airbags will not de-ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed. o Do not install a child restraint system in the
front passenger seat position. A childrestraint system must never be placed inthe front seat. The infant or child could beseverely injured or killed by an airbagdeployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If older children (teenagesand older) must ride in the front seat,make sure they are always properly beltedand that the seat is moved back as far aspossible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants including thedriver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is also providedat their seating position to minimize therisk of severe injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the vehicle is inmotion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. Ifan occupant is out of position because ofnot wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT1- 21
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop- erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head and chest injury.After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility.
Passanger's Airbag
B240B01GK-D
CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glove boxin the vehicle with passenger's side air bag.Such objects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if the passenger'sside air bag inflates. Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressurefrom the expansion of the airbags. Further open-ing of the covers then allows full inflation of theairbags.
The airbag modules are located both in thecentre of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact to thefront of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.
B240B01GK-AAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Side Airbag Module - Passenger's Side Airbag Module- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-quire airbag deployment. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 secondsafter the ignition key is turned to the "ON" positionor after the engine is started, after which the SRIshould go out.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be releasedthroughout the vehicle. These conditionsare normal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated during airbagdeployment may cause skin irritation.Wash your hands and face thoroughlywith lukewarm water and a mild soap afteran accident in which the airbags weredeployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni- tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRSSRI does not come on or illuminatescontinuously when the ignition key isturned to "ON", or continuously remainson after flashing for about 6 seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, or after the engine is started,comes on while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have yourvehicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai 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 heed thiswarning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.

CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air fresh-ener inside a vehicle, do not place it near theinstrument cluster nor on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakage from theair freshener onto these areas (instrumentcluster, instrument panel pad or air ventila-tor), it may damage these parts. If the liquidfrom the air freshener does leak onto theseareas, wash them with water immediately. Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag ineach front seat. The purpose of the airbag is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that of-fered by the seatbelt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy only during cer-tain side-impact collisions, depending on thecrash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.The air bags are not designed to deploy in all sideimpact situations. WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's seat beltsystems and is not a substitute for them.Therefore your seat belts must be worn atall times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain side impactconditions severe enough to cause sig-nificant injury to the vehicle occupants.
