WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced.All seat belts, of any type, should al-ways be replaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies for several min-utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in anymanner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor vehicle.
Driver's airbag conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heardand fine dust, which may appear to besmoke, may be visible in the passengercompartment. These are normal operat-ing conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and shouldnot be breathed for prolonged periods.Wash your hands and face thoroughlyafter an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre- tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work- ing properly, this warning light will illu-minate even if there is no malfunctionof the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turnedto "ON", or if it remains illuminatedafter blinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates while the ve-hicle is being driven, please have anauthorized Hyundai dealer inspect the

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemen-
tal Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRSAIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad coverin the steering wheel and the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in-
stalled under the pad covers in the centre ofthe steering wheel and the passenger's sidefront panel above the glove box. The purposeof the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driverand/or the front passenger with additionalprotection than that offered by the seat beltsystem 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 ofthe sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supplemen- tal to, the driver's and the passenger'sthree point seat belt systems and is nota substitute for them. Therefore yourseat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. In addi-tion, the airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severe enoughto likely cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle and will notdeploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only de-ploy once. Thus, seat belts must beworn at all times.

o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not normally deploy in frontalcrashes below the deployment thresh-old speed.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating positionto minimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sitor lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there maybe a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash yourhands and face thoroughly with luke-warm water and a mild soap after anaccident in which the airbags were de-ployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Ifthe SRS SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on, after flashingfor about 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes onwhile driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have your ve-hicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition keyto the "LOCK" position or remove theignition key. Never remove or replacethe air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" position.Failure to heed this warning will causethe SRS SRI to illuminate.
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag immedi- ately starts deflating, enabling the driver tomaintain forward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on theinstrument panel pad surface. If there isany leakage from the air freshener ontothese areas (instrument cluster, instrumentpanel pad or air ventilator), it may damagethese parts.

o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat pro-tected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kindof badges to the pad covers or modifi-cations to the body structure, can ad-versely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured is by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt prop-erly fastened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel at the9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag.
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. B240C03Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must beinspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in10 years after the date that the vehicle wasmanufactured. Any work on the SRS system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling ofthe SRS system may result in serious per-sonal injury.

1- 30 circuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available.
If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the
required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally.
The braking system employs a vacuum servo
in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.

The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degree of fueleconomy.
o Maintaining a constant check on fuel con- sumption will enable the most economicaluse pattern and driving style to be adopt-ed.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short jour- neys if possible, particularly when a coldstart is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are maintained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight, and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon aspossible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be madesmoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration andsharp braking.
NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds
after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK"position, and then to the "ON" position, inorder to preheat again.
WARNING: Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed
when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Otherwise there is the potential to cause damage to the vehicle or injury to some-
one inside or outside the vehicle as aresult of the forward or backward move-ment of the vehicle that will occur if theclutch is not depressed when the vehicle isstarted.

Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism becomefrozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should beused. Alternatively, warming the door keymay thaw the door lock. However, the keyshould be handled carefully to avoid burningthe fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventu-ally freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the im-mobilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock,it may cause damage to the transponderin its head.
