Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemen- tal Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in- stalled under the pad covers in the centre 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/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. NOTE:Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of the 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's three point 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. In addi- tion, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longi- tudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only de- ploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.

Side Impact RolloverB240C01FC
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not normally deploy in frontal crashes 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 their seat belts whether or not an airbag 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 unnecessarily close to the airbag while 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 position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occu- pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded di- rectly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion 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 slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reduc- ing the risk of head or chest injury. CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories(drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a vehicle with passenger's side air bag.

WARNING:
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 or child could be severely injured by an airbag 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 lead to possible injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured is bythe 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 should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed 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 by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years after the date that the vehicle was manufactured.
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 of the SRS system may result in serious per- sonal injury.
HFC2092-DSide airbag sensor o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may be- come dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may resultin personal injury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'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 airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and proce- dures could increase the risk of per- sonal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor- tant points and make certain that this manual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the
bumper guard with the one other than the Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise, it can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to unexpected injury.

1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will auto- matically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsationin the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual. C300D02O-GAT Indicator and WarningThe indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START", but should go out after three seconds.If the indicator does not illuminate, have it checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device, TCS illuminates as a warning.If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if theTCS indicator goes out.If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE: When TCS illuminates, traction control isautomatically deactivated for safety.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sureto decelerate the car sufficiently before enter- ing curves. CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP con-trol has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is acceler- ating excessively. In this situation, release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed. WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclem- ent weather and on slippery driving sur- faces should be observed. 3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedalmay not cause the engine speed to increase.
The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different surfaceheight.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
C300A01O-EAT BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (BTCS) (Not all models) On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making acceler- ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.

2- 12 NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluidadditive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroad wheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, unusual noises or an in- crease in steering effort may result. There- fore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodically and any accumulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under- taken into areas of severe road conditions.
ZC170D1-E Door LocksShould the door lock mechanism become frozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handled carefully to avoid burning the 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 immobiliser key is from -40°F to 176°F (- 40°C to 80°C). If you heat the immobiliser key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the tran- sponder in its head.
SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to the windscreen or if they are cov- ered with snow, before this is removed.
ZC170B1-E Electrical SystemWinter conditions impose severe demands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator perfor- mance and drive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe cooling system must always contain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should be checked before the onset of winter and adjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro- sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the aluminum castings contained within the engine. Therefore, never, drain the system and refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning, to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration system in use.
