Safety features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and the lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel, on the knee
bolster below the steering wheel col-
umn and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel , in the
knee bolster below the steering
wheel column 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 sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity.The seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger's seat and will
turn off the front passenger's air bag
under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant classification
system" in this section.

(Continued)
If the SRS air bag warninglight remains illuminated
while the vehicle is being driv-
en, have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
air bag system as soon as
possible.
Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only
when frontal impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the
impact angle is toward from
the forward longitudinal axis
of the vehicle. Additionally,
the air bags will only deploy
once. Seat belts must be worn
at all times.
(Continued)(Continued)
No objects should be placedover 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 deploy.
Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the pas-
senger seat as these may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
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
deployment of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front and side air bags caninjure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as practical 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
driver and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating
air bags.
Never lean against the door or center console – always sit in
an upright position.
Do not allow a 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 mod-
erate or severe frontal crash.

Safety features of your vehicle
Side air bag
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with side
air bags in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt
alone. The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. However, when side deploy-
ment threshold is satisfied at front
impact, side air bags may deploy.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations or
rollover situations.
The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact.
The side and/or curtain air bags on
both sides of the vehicle may deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
WARNING
The side air bags is supple-
mental to the driver's and the
passenger's 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.
The air bags deploy only in
certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause sig-
nificant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
For best protection from the side air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bags, both
front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.

Safety features of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees.
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, when you turn the ignition
on, or continuously remains on, or
continuously blinks have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
To clean 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.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.
Not only the modification of the parts where the SRS sen-
sors are but also the modifica-
tion of other parts of the vehi-
cle may affect the SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
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.

Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If
the engine is off or if the power steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for optimum steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi- ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK (OFF) position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steer-
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate abnormally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible. (Continued)
