Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off in a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision. There are certaintypes of accidents in which the air
bag would not be expected to pro-
vide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a
collision energy absorption, and isnot an indicator of whether or not an
air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
NEVER place a rear-facing or
front-facing child restraint in
the front passenger's seat of
the vehicle.
An inflating frontal air bag
could forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injury ordeath.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren in an appropriate childrestraint in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors areinstalled.(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
Do not install bumper guards
or replace the bumper with a
non-genuine HYUNDAI parts.
This may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.
Place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs con-
ducted by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

2-66
Safety system of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle 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 illumi-
nate 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, thefront passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’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 covers and
proper deployment of the sys-tem.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi-
cle is moving.A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a
crash or emergency stop can be
thrown against the inside of the vehi-
cle, against other occupants, or be
ejected from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or reposi-tion the seat belt can reduce the pro-
tection provided by the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious injury
in a crash. Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens-
ing components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front seats.
Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraintsystem sensing components and
wiring harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors. Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may
cause the air bags to inflate. Modifications to accommodate dis- abilities.
If you require modification to your
vehicle to accommodate a disability,
contact the HYUNDAI Auto Canadaat 1-888-216-2626.
Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the opera-
tion of your vehicle's air bag system.
Air Bag Warning Labels
Air bag warning labels, required by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (CMVSS), are attached to
alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the informationabout the air bags that are installed
on your vehicle in this Owners
Manual.
(Continued)
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. Consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-tions could increase the risk of
personal injury.

If you suspect your smart key might
have sustained some damage, or
you feel your smart key is not work-
ing correctly, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.InformationAn inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an improp-
erly coded key (or other device) isused, the engine's fuel system is dis-
abled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator 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
ignition switch to the ON positionagain.
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 transpon-
der signal from transmitting normally. If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended 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.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
 The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return to
its normal condition.
 A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is
in the ON or LOCK/OFF position.
 Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
 When you operate the steering wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
 When an error is detected from the EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated in order to
prevent fatal accidents. Instrument
cluster warning lights may be on or
the steering effort may be high.
When the following symptoms
occur, immediately drive the vehicle
to a safe area and check it.Tilt Steering / Telescope Steering
