In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it could cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.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 engine
start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion.• 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 engine
start/stop button is in ON position.
WARNING
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
• Never put a child restraint in
the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it can cause serious
or fatal injuries.
• When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats of a
vehicle equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags, be
sure to install the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible,
and securely lock the child
restraint system in position.
Inflation of side and/or curtain
air bags could cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. Driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belt buckle sensors.
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the engine
start/stop button 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 illumi-
nate for about 6 seconds after the
engine start/stop button is turned to
the ON position, after which the SRS
air bag warning light " " should go
out.

tions occurs, this indicates a

ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• The light does not turn on
briefly when you turn the
engine start/stop button to the
ON position.
• The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately 6

Safety features of your vehicle
Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and the lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions.The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and/or on the
cover of the driver's side knee bolster
located below the steering wheel and
the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
(Continued)
• The SRS can function only
when the engine start/stop
button is in the ON position. If
the SRS " " warning light
does not illuminate, or contin-
uously remains on after illu-
minating for about 6 seconds
when the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ON
position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driv-
ing, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, we
recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the engine start/stop but-
ton to the OFF position. Never
remove or replace the air bag
related fuse(s) when the
engine start/stop button is in
the ON position. Failure to
heed this warning will cause
the SRS “ ” warning light to
illuminate.

Side impact air bag (Continued)
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
• For maximum safety protec-
tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driv-
er should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an
air bag is also provided at
their seating position to mini-
mize the risk of severe injury
or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bag while the vehicle is in
motion.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Sitting improperly or out of
position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an
upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is
parked and the engine
start/stop button is in the OFF
position.
• The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

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 when you turn the ignition
ON, or if it continuously remains on,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.WARNING
• Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, 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 deploy-
ment of the system.
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules 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)
(Continued)
• If the air bags inflate, they
must be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er knows these precautions
and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to
follow these precautions 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 to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
