CAUTION
If the occupant classification sys-
tem is not working properly, the
SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate
because the passenger's front air
bags are connected with the occu-
pant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
will not illuminate and the passen-
ger's front air bags will inflate in
frontal impact crashes even if there
is no occupant in the front passen-
ger's seat. If the SRS air bag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, remains illuminated
after approximately 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven,
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
inspect the occupant classification
system and the SRS air bag system
as soon as possible.
(Continued)
Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place any-
thing on or attach anything such
as a blanket or after market seat
heater to the front passenger
seat. This can adversely affect the
occupant classification system.
Do not sit on sharp objects such
as tools when occupying the front
passenger seat. This can adverse-
ly affect the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Do not use accessory seat covers
on the front seats.
(Continued)
WARNING
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupation
classification system, never
install a child restraint system in
the front passenger's seat. A
deploying air bag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious
injuries or death. Any child under
13 years of age should ride in the
rear seat. Children too large for
child restraints should use the
available lap/shoulder belts. No
matter what type of crash, chil-
dren of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by an adult and
he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), have
that person sit in the rear seat.

Features of your vehicle94 3SRS CareThe 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 con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Hyundai technician.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat position. A child restraint
system must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or child
could be severely injured by an
air bag deployment in case of an
accident.
Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
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 inflate.
(Continued)
1JBH3051
(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, they must
be replaced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
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 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, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can
give you the necessary informa-
tion. Failure to follow these pre-
cautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; have the car towed to
an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Tilt steering A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust
the steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it to the highest level to
give your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
To change the steering wheel angle, pull
up the lock release lever (1), adjust the
steering wheel to the desired angle (2),
then release the lock-release lever to
lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the
desired position before driving.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the
steering wheel while driving. You
may lose your steering control
and cause an accident that may
result in serious injury or death.
After adjusting, push the steering
wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.

Features of your vehicle
Day/night rearview mirror Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.
Manual type Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position.Electric type
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
change to the brightest setting in order to
improve the driver’s view behind the
vehicle.
WARNING -
Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear seat
or cargo area which would interfere
with your vision out the rear win-
dow.

CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing and cause damage to the mirror
components.

The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in the Index.

the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-
age.

the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an Authorized
Hyundai Dealer.

sure that all warning lights are off. If any
are still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.

problem with the ABS and
EBD system.
In this case, your ABS system and regu-
lar brake system may not work normally.
Have the vehicle checked by an
Authorized Hyundai Dealer as soon as
possible.
