WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper-
ate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts and seat belt
buckles must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat 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.
This must be done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt or buckle assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to
heed the warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt and buckle
assemblies may lead to improper
operation or inadvertent activation
and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air
bags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated 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 heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition key has
been turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the advanced SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat position
sensor and cause the air bag to de-
ploy at a different level than should be
provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats which could damage
the seat position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seats. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the sun
visor.
o Advanced air bags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front air bags are
not intended to deploy in light colli-
sions in which protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
CAUTION:
If the seat position sensor is not working
properly, the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunction of the
SRS air bag system, because the SRS
air bag warning light is connected with
the seat position sensor. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, if it remains illuminated
after coming on for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle
is being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the seat position
sensor and the advanced SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.

!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, 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 air
bags to deploy.
o If the air bags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer. Deployed air bags WILL NOT
inflate again and will provide no pro-
tection in subsequent collisions.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components of the
SRS system. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
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 or
killed by an air bag deployment in
case of an accident.
o Children younger than 13 years must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If a child
over 13 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.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether 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 unnecessarily close
to the air bag while the vehicle is in
motion.
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit up-
right in their seats with their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.

o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. You
and your passengers should never
sit or lean unnecessarily close to the
air bags. Improperly positioned driv-
ers and passengers can be severely
injured by inflating air bags.
WARNING:
o Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, air bags
will not deploy in frontal crashes be-
low the deployment threshold.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI48
!
WARNING:
o The SRS air bag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal in-
juries.
o Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards, side
steps or replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air bag
deployment performance.
B240B01CM-AATSRS Components and FunctionsThe SRS consists of the following compo-
nents:

Air bag
11. Driver's and Front Passenger's Seat
Belt Usage Sensors
12. SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
13. SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-
ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter-
mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is
severe enough to require air bag deploy-
ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-
ment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI)
on the instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position or after the
engine is started, after which the SRI should
go out.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place
it near the instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface. If there is any
leakage from the air freshener onto these
areas (instrument cluster, instrument
panel or air ventilator), it may damage
these parts. If the liquid from the air
freshener does leak onto these areas,
wash them with water immediately.

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.

Occupant Classification SystemYour vehicle is equipped with an occupant
classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The Occupant Classifi-
cation system is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front pas-
senger and determine if the passenger's
front air bag should be enabled (may in-
flate or not). The driver's front air bag is not
affected or controlled by the Occupant
Classification System.If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size, and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfortably ex-
tended and their feet on the floor), the
passenger air bag off indicator will be
turned off (The "OFF" will not illuminate)
and the front passenger's air bag will be
able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal
crashes.
You will find the passenger air bag off
indicator on the center facia panel. When
this indicator is ON, (The "OFF" will illumi-
nate) the front passenger's air bag will not
deploy. The side air bag will not deploy if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
The side air bag may deploy if the front seat
is occupied by a small occupant. The fol-
lowing table summarizes the functioning
of the system depending on the front pas-
senger seat occupant.

classification systemo A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
o Electronic system to determine whether
passenger air bag systems (both front
and side) should be activated or deac-
tivated.

NOTE:The passenger air bag off indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 10 seconds after the igni-
tion is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal air
bag system senses less weight than
if the occupant were seated properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor).
o This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the passenger air bag
off indicator.
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the passenger air
bag off indicator is illuminated, because
the air bag will not deploy in the event of
a crash. If the passenger air bag off
indicator remains illuminated after the
passenger repositions themselves prop-
erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai
recommends that passenger move to
the rear seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
!
CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front air bags are connected with the
occupant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the passenger air bag
off indicator will illuminate and the
passenger's front air bags will not inflate
in frontal impact crashes even if there is
adult occupant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, remains
illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
occupant classification system and the
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

o For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, 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 air
bags to inflate.
o If the air bags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the
SRS system. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.

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 or
killed by an air bag deployment in
case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
1JBH3051L
!
o If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal injury.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, don't
try to start the engine; have the car
towed to an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace bumper or the bumper
guard with the one other than Hyundai
genuine parts. Otherwise, it can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and
lead to an increased risk of injury.
