The seat belt pretensioner system
consists mainly of the following com
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pretensioner assembly
(3) SRS control module
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec
onds after the ignition switch is placed
to the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pretensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi
nate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS air
bags be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE(Continued)
•Do not hit the seat belt assem
blies.
Do not touch the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti
vated. When the pretensioner
seat belt mechanism deploys dur
ing a collision, the pretensioner
can become hot and can burn
you.
WARNING
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the preten
sioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Safety system of your vehicle
Small children are best prot ected from
injury in an accident when prop erly
restrained in the rear seat by a Child
Restraint System that meets the
requirements of t he Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Safety
Standard of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the Child Restraint System for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate booster seat in the rear seat.
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a Child Restraint
System appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passen
gers, NEVER hold a child in your lapor arms when the vehicle is moving.
The violent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Always make sure larger chil
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•NEVER allow the shoulder belt
to contact the child’s neck or
face.
•Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
WARNING

2-32
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries:
•Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.
•Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
•Always make sure the child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
•Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.
•Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver
tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win
dows, or lock themselves or oth
ers inside the vehicle.
•Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same seat
belt.
•Children often squirm and reposi
tion themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper
ly position and secure children in
rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Never allow a child to standup or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli
sion or sudden stop, the child can
be violently thrown against the
vehicles interior, resulting in seri
ous injury.
•Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro
vide adequate security in an acci
dent.
•Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten
ing them over a child.
•After an accident, we recom
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.

Air bag warning and indicator
(if equipped)
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the warning light should illumi
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehi cle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.

The SRS consists of the following components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module*
(2) Passenger's front air bag module*
(3) Pretensioner seatbelt system*
(4) Driver's air bag warning light*
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)*
(6) Front impact sensors*

Safety system of your vehicle
In case of the Lefthand drive vehi
cle, the sensors and modules are in
the symmetrically opposite order.
The SRSCM continuously monitors
all SRS components while the igni
tion switch is ON to determine if a
crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.The air bag modules are located
both in the center of the steering
wheel and in the front passenger's
panel above the glove box. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags.
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunc
tion of the SRS. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
•The light stays on after illuminat
ing for approximately 6 seconds.
•The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
•When installing a container of
liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near the
instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous pro
jectile and cause injury if the pas
senger's air bag inflates.
•If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle.
These conditions are normal and
are not hazardous the air bags
are packed in this fine powder.
The dust generated during air
bag deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as aggra
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with cold water
and a mild soap after an accident
in which the air bags were
deployed.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
•Before you replace a fuse or dis
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace
the air bag related fuse(s) when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS air
bag warning light to illuminate.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
•Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
•Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
•You and your passengers
should never sit or lean unnec
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned drivers
and passengers can be severe
ly injured by inflating air bags.
•Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on
the steering 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 air bags to deploy.
•Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci
dental deployment of the air
bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
•If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, we rec
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Air bags can only be used once
– we recommend that the sys
tem be replaced by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longi
tudinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended
to deploy in sideimpact, rear
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
•A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an
air bag deployment in case of an
accident.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri
ous personal injury.
(Continued)
•If the air bags inflate, we recom
mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal
er.
•Do not tamper with or discon
nect SRS wiring, or other com
ponents of the SRS system.Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the
air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
•If components of the air bag sys
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be
observed. An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.Failure to follow these precau
tions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
•If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
the flooring, you shouldn't try tostart the engine; we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Modification to SRS compo
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges to
the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can
adversely affect SRS perform
ance and lead to possible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth
or one which has been mois
tened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys
tem.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instru
ment panel, and the front pas
senger'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 air bags to inflate.
