How does the air bags system operate?
The SRS consists of the following components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module(3) Side air bag modules
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Rear retractor pre-tensioner (if equipped)
(6) Retractor pre-tensioner assem- blies
(7) Air bag warning light (8) SRS control module (SRSCM)/
Rollover sensor
(9) Front impact sensors(10) Side impact sensors(11) Side pressure sensors
(12) Passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator (front passenger's seat only)
(13) Passenger’s front air bag ON/ OFF switch
The SRSCM continually monitors allSRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.
OOS037063L
Properly secure Child Restraint
System as far away from the
door as possible.
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 pillar, roof side rail.
Do not hang other objects
except clothes, especially
hard or breakable objects.
In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal
injury.
Do not allow 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 doorsand seats.
Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.

SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration. The
system checks the air bag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light indi-
cates that there is a potential problem
with your air bag system, which could
include your side and/or curtain air
bags used for rollover protection (if
equipped with rollover sensor).During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driv-
er and front passenger by respondingto frontal impacts in which seat belts
alone cannot provide adequate
restraint. When needed, the side air
bags help provide protection in the
event of a side impact or rollover by
supporting the side upper body area.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Air bags inflate in the event of certain frontal or side collisions to help pro-
tect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bagsare designed to inflate based upon
the severity of a collision and its direc-
tion. These two factors determinewhether the sensors produce an elec-
tronic deployment/inflation signal.
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properlyduring an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury ordeath.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-functioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is inthe ON position.
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately sixseconds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine is running.
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.

Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehicle speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehicles
or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining factors are 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 see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that youwill simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
In addition to inflating in serious side collisions, vehicles equipped
with a rollover sensor, side and/or
curtain air bags will inflate if the
sensing system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain air bags will remain inflated longer
to help provide protection from ejec-tion, especially when used in con-
junction with the seat belts. (if
equipped with a rollover sensor) To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The speedof air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which to
inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken bones because theinflation speed also causes the air
bags to expand with a great deal of
force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the air
bag can cause fatal injuries, espe-cially if the occupant is positioned
excessively close to the air bag. You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too
close to the air bag. An air bag needs
space to inflate. It is recommended
that drivers sit as far as possible
between the center of the steeringwheel and the chest while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.

Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
iDo not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of anaccident.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for dual clutch trans-
mission) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transmis-
sion), set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical componentsrelated to the engine can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sureto place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between
your bare hand and the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
