CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the coolant fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condi-tion.

Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.

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.
