WARNING:
o If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated dur-
ing air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons. Al-
ways wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.Passenger's Air bag

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate or
continuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" po-
sition, or after the engine is started,
illuminates while driving, the SRS is
not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position or
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.

WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
may cause the tires to overheat and fail. Avoid hard braking and overcorrecting at
the steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the
proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.
If you have a flat tire, the Low tire Pressure
and Position Telltales will illuminate.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire(see
page 3-12)
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres-
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be-
hind the valve stems. You must use TPMS
specific wheels. IT is recommended that
you always have tires serviced by your
Hyundai dealer or qualified technician.
After you replace the flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position Telltales remain
illuminated. This is normal; the system is
not monitoring the spare tire pressure.
Check the spare tire pressure to make sure
it is correct.B260T01O-GAT
AWD (All Wheel Drive)
System Warning Light
(If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,

seconds.
CAUTION:
If the AWD system warning light ( )
blinks while driving, this indicates that
there is a malfunction in the AWD sys-
tem. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
!
CAUTION:
Never use a puncture-repair agent in a
flat tire. If used, the tire pressure sensor
will be damaged and will require replace-
ment. Have the flat tire repaired by a
Hyundai dealer or qualified technician
as soon as possible.
