This manual contains important safety information and instructions intended to familiarize you with your vehicle’s controls and safe-

Pre-tensioner seat belt (Driver and front passenger)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's Pre-tensioner Seat
Belts (Retractor Pretensioner and
Emergency Fastening Device System).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly against
the occupant's body in certain frontal col-
lisions. The Emergency Fastening Device
System may be activated in certain
crashes where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the air
bags. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor preten-sioner is to make sure that the shoul-
der belts fit in tightly against the occu-
pant's upper body in certain frontal
collisions.
(2) Emergency Fastening Device System The purpose of the EmergencyFastening Device System is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant's lower body in
certain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system activates,
the load limiter inside the retractor pre-
tensioner will release some of the pres-
sure on the affected seat belt.
OTL035053
Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not protect
you properly in an accident.
Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func-
tion improperly.
Always replace your pre-tension-
ers after activation or an acci-
dent.
NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners your-
self. This must be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle col-
lides with objects such as utility poles or
trees, where the point of impact is con-
centrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is in the ON position,
or continuously remains on, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger's panel, front seats and roof
rails must be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death, take the following precau-
tions:
Do not attempt to modify or dis-
connect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure.
Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, or
the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box.
Clean the air bag pad covers with
a soft cloth moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag cov-
ers and proper deployment of the
system.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Information
An inappropriately disposed bat-tery can be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) and regulation(s).
Immobilizer System
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly coded
key (or other device) is used, the
engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the immobilizer system indi-
cator should come on briefly, then go off.
If the indicator starts to blink, the system
does not recognize the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the igni-
tion switch to the ON position again.
The system may not recognize your key’s
coding if another immobilizer key or other
metal object (i.e., key chain) is near the
key. The engine may not start because
the metal may interrupt the transponder
signal from transmitting normally. If the system repeatedly does not recog-
nize the coding of the key, it is recom-
mended that you contact your HYUNDAI
dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add
other devices to it. Electrical problems
could result that may make your vehicle
inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer sys-
tem. It is designed to give years of
trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following three
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
3. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the device.
i
NOTICE
i
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential.
