WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting inserious or fatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use of
the child restraint.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
Never put a seat belt over your- self and a child. During a crash,the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internalinjuries.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never leave children unattendedin a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the sameseat belt.
Children often squirm and repo- sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper-
ly position and secure children inthe rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floor of a
moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting in
serious injury.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never use an infant carrier or achild safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten-
ing them over a child.
After an accident, have an autho- rised HYUNDAI dealer check the
child restraint system, seat belt,
tether anchor and lower anchor.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint systembecause of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint systemin the rear right seat.

Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and shouldbe installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats. Your vehicle is provided with
child restraint anchorage points for
installing the child seat or infant seat.

WARNING - Tether strap
Never mount more than one child restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not prop-
erly restrained in the child restraint.

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis-
comfort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are non-
toxic, they may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold waterimmediately and consult a doctor if the
symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint on the
front passenger’s seat.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraints in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it could cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.
1JBH3051
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steeringwheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof rails
above the front and rear doors are
very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the air bag storage area’s
internal components immediately
after an air bag has inflated.

SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
1. Driver's front air bag module*
2. Passenger's front air bag module*
3. Side impact air bag modules*
4. Curtain air bag modules*
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors*
*: if equipped The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components whilst the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light " " on
the instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position, after which
the SRS air bag warning light " "should go out.
The front air bag modules are located
both in the centre of the steering wheel
and in the front passenger's panel above
the glove box. When the SRSCM detects
a sufficiently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.
OYF039055R
WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
of the SRS. Have an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the air bag
system as soon as possible.
The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON.
The light stays on after illuminat- ing for approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on whilst the vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.

Safety features of your vehicle
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the air bags.A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver's or the passenger's forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con-
trols.

WARNING
Do not install or place any acces- sories (drink holder, cassette
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box in a vehicle with a pas-
senger's air bag. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside the vehi-
cle, do not place it near the
instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous pro-
jectile and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) Systemand the lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating positions.The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" or "AIR
BAG" embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and the passen-
ger's side front panel pad above the
glove box. The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the centre of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.
WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle.These conditions are normal and
are not hazardous - the air bags
are packed in this fine powder.
The dust generated during air
bag deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with lukewarmwater and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags
were deployed.
The SRS can function only when the ignition switch is in the ON
position. If the SRS " " warning
light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on
whilst driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Before you replace a fuse or dis-connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace the
air bag related fuse(s) when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion. Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS “ ” warning
light to illuminate.
