Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-
sure from the expansion of the airbags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full inflation of
the airbags.A fully inflated airbag, 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 airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility and the ability to steer or
operate other controls.
B240B03L
The airbag modules are located both in the
center 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 airbags.
Passenger's Front Airbag
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accessories
(drink holder, cassette holder, sticker,
etc.) on the front passenger's panel
above the glove box in a vehicle with a
passenger's airbag. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger's airbag inflates.
o 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

ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System indicator will come on
and then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI
remains on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the key is turned to the "ON"
position, this indicates that there may be a
problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON"
or come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake Force
Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have
your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
B265C01NF-AAT
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Indicator Lights
(If Installed)
The electronic stability control indicators change
operation according to the ignition switch posi-
tion and whether the system is in operation or
not.
They will illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, but should go out
after three seconds. If the ESC or ESC-OFF
indicator stays on, take your car to your autho-
rized Hyundai dealer and have the system
checked. See section 2 for more information
about the ESC.B260Q02NF-GAT

ter is illuminated when the cruise control ON/
OFF button on the steering wheel is pulled.

mation about the use of cruise control begins on
page 1-93.

comes on when the washer fluid reservoir is
approaching empty. When it comes on, add
washer fluid at your earliest opportunity.B270A01O-AATBRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUNDThe front and rear disc brake pads have wear
indicators that should make a high-pitched
squealing or scraping noise when new pads are
needed. The sound may come and go or be
heard all the time when the vehicle is moving. It
may also be heard when the brake pedal is
pushed down firmly. Excessive rotor damage
will result if the worn pads are not replaced. See
your Hyundai dealer immediately.

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 will
cause the tires to overheat and fail.B260W02JM-GAT
Low tire pressure telltale
The low tire pressure telltale comes on for 3
seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position.
If the warning light does not come on, or continu-
ously remains on after coming on for about 3
seconds when you turned the ignition key to the
"ON" position, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
This warning light will also illuminate if one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible. If the warning light illuminates while
driving, reduce vehicle speed immediately and
stop the vehicle. Avoid hard braking and over-
correcting at the steering wheel. Inflate the tires
to the proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.
B265W02JM-GAT
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System) malfunction telltale
TPMS malfunction telltale comes on for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position. If the warning light does not come on,
or continuously remains on after coming on for
about 3 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
The warning light also comes on and stays on
when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
If this happens, the system may not monitor the
tire pressure. Have the system checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and
sudden tire damage caused by external
factors.
o If you feel any vehicle instability, imme-
diately take your foot off the accelerator
and slowly move to a safe position off
the road.
