Driver's Airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Air Bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver andpassenger seating positions. The indi- cations of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossedon the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and printed on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glovebox. B240A03TB-DAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likelycause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the centre of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat belt alone, in case of a frontal impact ofsufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.
Passenger's Airbag
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expan-sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slowsthe driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. HTB204-D

B990B01TG-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger withadditional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Important Safety Notes on the Side Impact Airbag system Following is a number of safety points concerning this system which should always be observed to ensure risk ofinjury is reduced in an accident. WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and thepassenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. There- fore your seat belts must be wornat all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certainside impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoidbeing injured by the deployingside impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an up- right position with the seat beltproperly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.

!WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the additionof any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
B240C01HP
B240C02A-DAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you cansafely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorised Hyundai dealer in 10 yearsafter the date that the car was manu- factured. Any work on the air bag system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel mustbe performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in seriouspersonal injury.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of thesystem.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between thefront door and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerousprojectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.

o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or baby could be severely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa- tion.Failure to follow these precau- tions and procedures could in- crease the risk of personal in-jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of theseimportant points and make cer- tain that this manual is trans- ferred to the new owner togetherwith the vehicle.
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorised Hyundai dealer.o For cleaning the horn pad, useonly a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plainwater. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag cover and proper deployment of thesystem.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the label identifying theair bag on the steering wheel and instrument panel, because any such object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
o If the air bag inflates, it must be replaced by an authorisedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transaxle can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position. HTB185-D
C090A01A-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds andone reverse speed. It has a conven- tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the first posi-tion of the multi-function switch, the appropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated accordingto the range selected. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. In-stead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

C090N04A-DAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal de- pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R"and "D".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv-ing down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slowthe car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.
o Always use the hand brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in"P" to keep the car from moving. o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driv-ing. If engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshift-ing and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recom-mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately after-ward. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
