Safety features of your vehicle
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
• However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact.• In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.• Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions.

• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
✽NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with
side impact air bags and curtain air
bags.
• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
WARNING
• Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
• 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 deploy-
ment of the system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering 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.
• If the air bags inflate, we rec-
ommend that the system be
replaced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions must
be observed. A HYUNDAI
authorised repairer knows
these precautions and can give
you the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to
start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

WARNING
• Sitting improperly or out of
position can cause occupants
to be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Always sit upright with the
seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centred on the seat cush-
ion with your seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended
and your feet on the floor.
Additional safety precautions
•Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat.All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor.
•Passengers should not move
out of or change seats whilst the
vehicle is moving.A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt dur-
ing a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
•Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant.If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
•Do not use any accessories on
seat belts.Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo-
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.•Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an air bag inflates.
•Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers.All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
•Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side impact air bag
covers could interfere with the
proper operation of the air bags.
•Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint system
sensing components or side air
bags.•Do not place items under the
front seats.Placing items under
the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
•Never hold an infant or child on
your lap.The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.

Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the oper-
ation of your vehicle's air bag sys-
tem.
Air bag warning label
(if equipped)
Air bag warning labels are attached
to alert driver and passengers of
potential risk of air bag system.
Note that these government warn-
ings focus on the risk of children. We
also want you to be aware of the
risks adults are exposed to which
have been described in previous
pages.
ODMESA2007

The active bonnet lift system can
reduce a risk of injury to pedestrians
by raising the bonnet in certain acci-
dent situations. The active bonnet lift
system has the additional deforma-
tion space under the bonnet, which
is made available for the subsequent
head impact.
When the active bonnet lift system is
activated ;
• The ignition switch is in the on
position and the vehicle speed is
between about 15.5 MPH (25km/h)
and 31 MPH (50 km/h).
• The active bonnet lift system is
designed to work in a frontal colli-
sion depending on the intensity,
speed or angles of impact of the
front collision.✽NOTICE - Active bonnet lift
system repair
• If the active bonnet lift system has
been activated, do not place the
bonnet back by yourself. We rec-
ommend that the system be
repaired by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
• If you change or repair the front
bumper, we recommend that the
system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

• The active bonnet lift system is not
designed to operate in side, rear
collisions and rollover accidents.
Because the vehicle can detect
only frontal collision.
• If the front bumper is damaged or
modified.
• If the vehicle have an angled
frontal collision with pedestrians.
• If a pedestrian, lies on the road.
• If the pedestrian have an object to
absorb the shock such as a suit
case, buggy or cart.Active bonnet lift system mal-
function
If there is a problem with the system
a message will appear in the cluster
LCD display.
This warning message means that
the protection of pedestrians by the
active bonnet lift system does not
works correctly.
If the warning message displayed,
we recommend that the system be
checked as soon as possible by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
✽NOTICE
• Do not remove or change the com-
ponents and the wiring of the
active bonnet system.
• Do not change the front bumper
or the body structure.
• Do not install or assemble any
aftermarket accessory on the front
bumper or cover.
• When replacing tyres, make sure
they are the same size as your
original tyres. If you drive with
different tyre or wheel sizes, the
active bonnet lift system may not
work normally.
The above situations may cause a
malfunction of the active bonnet lift
system.
