Ve h i c l e s a r e e q u i p p e d w i t h a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s
seats.
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.
Yo u c a n b e s e v e r e l y i n j u r e d o r k i l l e d
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision.
In some accidents, the seat belts are
the only restraint protecting you.
AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time,
everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt
when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front
passenger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant
or child causing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
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.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
Yo u a n d y o u r p a s s e n g e r s s h o u l d n e v e r s i t o r l e a n u n n e c e s s a r i l y
close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.

During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If the
rate of deceleration is high enough,
the control unit will inflate the front air
bags, at the time and with the force
needed.
The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger by
responding to frontal impacts in
which seat belts alone cannot provide
adequate restraint. When needed,
the side air bags help provide protec-
tion in the event of a side impact.
•Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
•Air bags inflate in the event of cer-
tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
•There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate. Generally,
air bags are designed to inflate
based upon the severity of a colli-
sion and its direction. These two
factors deter mine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal.
.• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehicles
or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining factors are not limited
to those mentioned above.
•The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that you
will simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
(Continued)
•The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
•The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.

Immobilizer system
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how-
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity and
rough handling. Immobilizer sys-
tem malfunction could occur.
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.

ing any door, the trunk, or the hood
without using the remote key or smart
key will cause the alarm to activate.

Theft-alarm system (For Brazil)
Intrusion/tilt sensor ON/OFF con-
dition (For Brazil, if equipped)
The intrusion/tilt sensor detects
movement inside the vehicle and
inclination of the vehicle after locking.
•To cancel the sensor operation,
press the sensor ON/OFF button
when the system is in the
"Disarmed" stage and the ignition
switch or Engine Star t/Stop button
is in the OFF position. The button
light will turn on to indicate that the
sensor is deactivated.
•If you press the button again or turn
the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position,
the sensor will be activated again.
If the system is armed when the sen-
sor is in the OFF status, the intru-
sion/tilt sensor will not operate. But,
the alarm will be activated when the
system meets the “intrusion/tilt sen-
sor off condition” of “Theft alarm”
stage. Refer to the follow page.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor
if there are any chances the vehicle
tilts by the outward influences.
For example,
-When the vehicle is transported by
train, boat or trailer.
-When the vehicle is parked at a
parking tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad-
ver tently.
Information
•Make sure all windows are close
while the sensor operates. If not, the
sensor detects the inadvertent move-
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter-
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move-
ment behind the boxes. Also the
boxes may drop and it makes the
horn sounds.
• If the sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as cosmetics, spray type
air freshener, or spray type window
cleaner, the sensor may not operate
normally.
