Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be fastened when
an injured person is transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
One person per belt
Two people (including children)
should never be fastened by a single
seat belt. This may increase the
severity of injury in case of an acci-dent.
Do not lie down
To reduce the risk of injury in the
event of an accident and to guaran-
tee the maximum restraining effects,all passengers should sit in an
upright position when the vehicle is
in motion. A seat belt cannot provideproper protection, when the person
lies down in a rear seat or sit in areclined position in a front seat.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
fasten the lap belt across the
abdomen area where they have
a baby. The belt may imply a
strong impact on their abdomenin an accident.
WARNING
Riding in a reclined seat
increases your risk of serious
or fatal injury in the event of a
collision or a sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly compromised, when
your seat is reclined. Seat belts
must be snugly fastened across
your hips and chest to properly
operate. The more the seatback
is reclined, the more likely anoccupant will slide under the
lap belt, getting serious internal
injury. Or, the shoulder belt may
apply a strong impact on an
occupant's neck. Drivers and
passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, proper-
ly belted, and in an upright posi-tion.
WARNING

Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken not todamage the seat belts and the hard-
ware with the seat hinges, doors or
others.
Periodic inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts
be periodically inspected for a wear-
out or a damage of any kind. Any
damaged parts should be immedi-ately replaced.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. When the seat belts are contam-inated, clean them with a mild soap
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not
be used, because they may damage
or weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
An entire seat belt assembly should
be replaced, when the vehicle was
involved in an accident. This should
be done, even when a damage is
invisible. We recommend that you
ask additional questions concerning
seat belt operation to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
When you fold up a rear seat-
back to its upright position,
after folding it down, be careful
not to damage the seat belt
webbing or the buckle. Make
sure that the webbing or buckle
does not get caught or pinched
inside the rear seat mechanism.
A damaged webbing or buckle
will not be strong and may fail
to protect an occupant during a
collision or sudden stop, result-
ing in serious injury. If the web-
bing or buckles are damaged,
immediately replace them.

The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
Even your vehicle is equipped
with air bags, you and your
passengers must always fas-
ten the seat belts in order to
minimize the risk and severity
of injury in the event of a col-
lision or a rollover.
The SRS and the pre-tension-
ers seat belt contain explo-
sive chemicals. When a vehi-
cle is scrapped without
removing the SRS or the pre-
tensioner seat belt, it may
cause a fire. Before scraping a
vehicle, we recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Keep the SRS parts and
wirings away from water or
any liquid. When those are
exposed to water or liquids,
the SRS components may
become inoperative, possibly
causing fire or severe injury.

Safety system of your vehicle
How does the air bag operate?
Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
Air bags instantly inflate in the event of a serious frontal collisionin order to help protect the occu-
pants from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to inflate in accordance with the
severity of a collision and its direc-
tion. These two factors determinewhether the sensors produce an
electronic deployment/inflation sig-nal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors, including a driv-
ing speed, an impact angle, a vehi-cle density/stiffness or a colliding
object, which your vehicle strikes
with in a collision. Those factorsare not limited to those mentioned
above. The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
observe the inflation of the air bags
during an accident.
It is more likely that you will simply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of the air-bag storage compart-ments after a collision.
In order to protect occupants in a severe collision, the air bags must
rapidly inflate. The speed of air baginflation is a consequence of the
extremely short colliding time as
well as the necessity to inflate the
air bag between the occupant and
the vehicle structure before the
occupant strikes with the vehicle
structure. This fast inflating speed
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injury in a severe colli-
sion. This is the core part indesigning an air bag.
However, air bag inflation may also
cause injury, such as a facial abra-
sion, a bruise and a broken bones,
because the air bags expand with
a great deal of force.
There are certain circumstances
under which the air bag installed
in the steering wheel may cause
fatal injury, especially when the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steeringwheel.
To avoid severe personal
injury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit in
the rearmost position from
the air bag installed in thesteering wheel (at least 250
mm (10 inches) away). The
front passengers should
always move their seats as far
back as possible and sit backin their seats.
Air bags instantly inflate in
the event of a collision. Thus,
passengers may be injured by
the inflating air bag, when
they are in an improper posi-tion.
Air bag inflation may cause
injury, such as facial/bodily
abrasions, injuries by broken
glasses, or skin burns.

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise, leaving smoke and
powder inside the vehicle. This is
normal and is a result of the ignition
of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chestwith both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as due to the inhaled
smoke and powder.Immediately
open the doors/windows after the
inflation of the air bag in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent a
prolonged exposure to the smoke
and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause skin irrita-
tion (for eyes, nose and throat, etc).
In this case, immediately wash the
irritated area with cold water. Consult
a doctor, if the symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint
on the front passenger seat
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag components inside thesteering wheel and/or the
instrument cluster become
extremely hot. To prevent injury,
do not touch the air bag compo-
nents, immediately after an air
bag inflates.

Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
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 would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light on your instrument cluster is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your air bag - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). The warn-
ing light illuminates for approximately
6 seconds, after turning ON the igni-
tion switch. Then, it goes OFF.
Check the system for the below symptoms:
The light does not briefly illumi-
nate, after turning ON the ignition
switch.
The light remains ON longer than approximately 6 seconds.
The light remains ON, when the vehicle is in motion.
Safety system of your vehicle

NEVER use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Never put a child restraint in
the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-ous or fatal injuries.

SRS components and func- tions
The SRS consists of the following components:
1.Driver's front airbag module
2.Passenger’s front airbag module
3.Driver's pre-tensioner assembly
4.Passenger's pre-tensioner assem-bly
5.SRS control module (SRSCM)
6.Front impact sensors*
* : if equipped When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the SRSCM continually moni-
tors all the SRS components, to
determine whether an impact is
severe enough to deploy an air bagor a pre-tensioner seat belt.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument cluster illuminates for
approximately 6 seconds after turn-
ing ON the ignition switch. Then, it
goes OFF.
When any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a SRS mal-
function. We recommend that the
system be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
The light does not briefly illuminate
after turning ON the ignition switch.
The light remains ON longer than 6 seconds.
The light remains ON, when the vehicle is in motion. The front air bag modules are locat-
ed inside both the steering wheel
and the front panel above the glove
box. When the SRSCM detects a suf-
ficient impact at the frontal part of the
vehicle, it automatically deploys the
front air bags.

To deploy, the pad cover tears apart under pressure of the air-bag inflat-
ing power. Further opening of the
covers then allows full inflation of the
air bags.A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly fastened seat
belt, slows the speed of the driver's
or the front passenger's falling for-
ward, reducing the risk of head/chest
injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating,
enabling the driver to maintain for-
ward visibility and the ability to steer
or operate other controls.

Driver's and front passenger's
air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sup-
plemental restraint system (air bag)
and lap/shoulder belts for both the
driver and the front passenger. Thepresence of the system is indicated
by the letters, "SRS AIR BAG," which
are embossed on the steering wheel
and the front panel above the glove
box.
The SRS consists of air bags, which
are installed under the pad cover of
the steering wheel and under the
front panel above the glove box.
(Continued)
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury,
when a front passenger's air
bag inflates.
When an air bag deploys,
there may be a loud noise aswell as fine dusts released in
the vehicle. These conditionsare normal and are not haz-
ardous - the air bags are
packed with fine powders. The
dust generated during air bag
deployment may cause
skin/eye irritation as well as
aggravate asthma for some
persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thorough-
ly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in
which the air bags were
deployed. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
The SRS operates, only after turning ON the ignition
switch. When the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-nate after turning ON the igni-
tion switch, when light contin-
uously remains ON longer
than approximately 6 sec-
onds, or when the light
remains ON while driving, the
SRS does not properly oper-
ate.
In this case, we recommend that the system be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Before replacing a fuse or dis-
connecting a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag relatedfuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.

■Driver's front air bag

2-32
Safety system of your vehicle
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that
offered only by the seat belt systemin case of a frontal impact of suffi-
cient severity.Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with air bags, improperly and
unbelted occupants may be
severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, air
bags and occupant safety, as
specified in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
Never install a child restraint
or a booster seat in a front
seat to sit a child.
ABC - Always Buckle Children
in a rear seat. It is the safest
place for children of any ages
to ride.

■Front passenger's air bag
(Continued)
Front air bags may injure
occupants, who improperly sit
in a front seat.
Locate your seat in the rear-
most position from the front
air bags, while still maintain-
ing control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers
should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers may
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
Never lean against the door or
center console - always sit inan upright position.
