• There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the steer
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to the
steering wheel.Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of 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 chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. Open your doors
and\for windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis
comfort and prevent prolonged expo
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult
with the doctor if the symptom per
sists.
•To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi
ble. The front passenger should
always move their seat as far
back as possible and sit back in
their seat.
•Air bag inflates instantly in an
event of a collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
a proper position.
•Air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and\for instrument panel
and\for in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage areas internal compo
nents immediately after an air bag
has inflated.
WARNING
WARNING


"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat.
(if equipped)
Never place a rearfacing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rearfacing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place frontfacing
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 and indicator
(if equipped)
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).

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap\fshoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat
ing positions. The indications of the system's pres
ence are the letters "AIR BAG"
engraved on the air bag pad cover in
the steering wheel and the passen
ger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above
the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and\for the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity.
(Continued)
•The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
•Before you replace a fuse or dis
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace
the air bag related fuse(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.

•Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
•Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
•You and your passengers
should never sit or lean unnec
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned drivers
and passengers can be severe
ly injured by inflating air bags.
•Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
(Continued)
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 occu
pants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates. Always
follow the precautions about seat
belts, air bags and occupant safe
t

y contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from your
restraint system:
•Never place a child in any child
or booster seat in the front seat.
•ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to
ride. (Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•No objects (such as crash pad
cover, cellular phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, windshield glass, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle
is in a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to deploy.
•Do not attach any objects on the
front windshield and inside mir
r
or.
•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 deployment of the air
bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
•If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, we rec
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)


"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
(Continued)
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger 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 protection
in all types of crashes, all occu
pants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
w

hether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean unnec
essarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Air bags can only be used once
– we recommend that the sys
tem be replaced by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longi
tudinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended to
d
eploy in sideimpact, rear
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
•A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an
air bag deployment in case of an
accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Sitting improperly or out of posi
tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort
ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
•The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu
p

ant is out of position because
of not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or
fatal injuries.

Side impact air bag
(if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to pro
vide the vehicle's driver and\for the
front passenger with additional pro
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer
tain sideimpact collisions, depend
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
impact air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
OIB034021
OJK032063
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the doors,
stretch their arms out of the win
dow, or place objects between the
doors and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped with
side and\for curtain air bags.
WARNING
•The side impact air bag is sup
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side
impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
•For best protection from the side
impact air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deployin

g side impact air bag,
both front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 positions. The passen
ger's arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.

WARNING

 
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu
pants in certain side impact colli
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during cer tain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
•In order for side impact and cur
tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu
pants and both outboard rear
occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts prop
erly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must
be seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi
tion.
•Do not place any objects over the
air bag. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air
bag inflates such as the door,
side door glass, front and rear pil
l

ar, roof side rail.
•Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or break
able objects. In an accident, it
may cause vehicle damage or
personal injury.

•Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and\for
curtain air bags.
•Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.
•Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the syst

em be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu
pants in an accident.

 
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

• Front air bags may not inflate inside impact collisions, becauseoccupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in sideimpacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu
pant protection.
However, side impact or curtain air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact. • In a slant or angled collision, the
force of impact may direct the
occupants in a direction where the
air bags would not be able to pro
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. • Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"underride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” colli
sions.

"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
• Air bags do not inflate in rollover accidents because vehicle can not
detect rollover accident.
However, side and\for curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over after side impact col
lision. • Air bags may not inflate if the vehi
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle structure.
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, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri
ous personal injury.

•Modification to SRS compo
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges to
the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can
adversely affect SRS perform
ance and lead to possible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth
or one which has been mois
tened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys
t

em.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instru
ment panel, and the front pas
senger'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.

WARNING •If the air bags inflate, we recom
mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal
er.
•Do not tamper with or discon
nect SRS wiring, or other com
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental 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. An authorized
