o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not de-ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as pos- sible while still maintaining control of thevehicle. 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 deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

B240A01GK-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS) (If Installed) 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: 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. The airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severe enoughto cause significant injury to the vehicleoccupants.
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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 21
B240B01GK-GAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Airbag Module - Passenger's 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.
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.
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 (teenag-ers and 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.
B240B01L
The airbag modules are located both in the center 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. CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glove boxin a vehicle with a passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerous projectilesand cause injury if the passenger's air baginflates.
B240B02L
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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 23
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.
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injuredby the deploying side impact airbag, bothfront seat occupants should sit in an up-right position with the seat belt properlyfastened. The driver's hands should beplaced on the steering wheel at the 9:00and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re- duce the effectiveness of the system.
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 yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impactairbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only dur-ing certain side-impact collisions, depending onthe crash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The side impact airbags are not de-signed to deploy in all side impact situations.

o To prevent unexpected deployment of the
side impact airbag that may result in per- sonal injury,avoid impact to the side airbagsensor when the ignition key is on.
B240C02Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service by yourself.The entire SRS system must be inspected by anauthorized Hyundai dealer 10 years after thedate that the vehicle was manufactured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steeringwheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundaitechnician. Improper handling of the SRS sys-tem may result in serious personal injury.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 5
C070D03A-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down
a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, whenyou are driving down a long hill, slow downand shift to a lower gear. When you do this,engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better control of yourcar.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxlecan be damaged if you do not. To shift intoreverse, depress the clutch, move the shiftlever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shiftto the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, un unbelted person issignificantly more likely to die than a per-son wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driveroversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
