WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side air bag,
take the following precautions: • Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or prevent
the effectiveness of the system.
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if the
side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air bags.
• Do not put any objects between the
side airbag label and seat cushion. It
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.
• Do not cause impact to the doors
when the ignition switch button is in
the ON position as this may cause the
side air bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Curtain air bags
ODN8039042
ODN8039043
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
The side and curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.

Seats & Safety System
3-42
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating curtain air bag,
take the following precautions: • All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.
• Properly secure child restraints as far
away from the door as possible.
• Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects. In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain air bags.How Does the Air Bag System
Operate?
ODN8039033
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver’s front air bag module
2. Passenger’s front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules (front)
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM) /
Rollover sensor
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors (acceleration)
10. Side impact sensors (pressure)
11. Driver’s knee air bag module
12. Occupant classification system
13. Side air bag modules (rear)
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON or
START position to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.

What to Expect After an Air Bag
Inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates, it
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation
will not prevent the driver from seeing
out of the windshield or being able
to steer. Curtain air bags may remain
partially inflated for some time after they
deploy.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions: • Open your windows and doors as
soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder released by the
inflating air bag.
• Do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag may
be very hot.
• Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and mild soap.
• Always have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the air bag
immediately after deployment. Air
bags are designed to be used only
once. Noise and smoke from inflating air bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact of your chest with both the seat
belt and the air bag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an air bag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is
the case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention
if the symptoms persist.

Instrument Cluster
4-14
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
This warning light illuminates:
• When you place the ignition switch to the ON position.
- The malfunction indicator light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then goes off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
either the emission control system or
the engine or the vehicle powertrain.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
• Driving with the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) on may cause
damage to the emission control
system which could affect drivability
and/or fuel economy.
• If the enhanced engine protection
system becomes activated due to
lack of engine oil, engine power
will be limited. If such condition
continues repeatedly, the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp will
illuminate.
NOTICE
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. Charging System Warning
Light
When this warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. Immediately turn OFF
all electrical accessories. Try not to use
electrically operated controls, such as
the power windows. Keep the engine running.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the engine oil pressure is low.
If the oil pressure is lowered due to
the lack of engine oil, the oil pressure
warning light turns on and the enhanced
engine protection system that limits the
engine output starts to work.
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (For more
information, refer to "Engine Oil" in
chapter 8) . If the level is low, add oil
as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
According to circumstances, the oil
pressure warning light turns off and
the output limitation is released. Even
so, you should check the engine in a
safe place. Continued driving with the
warning light on may cause engine
failure.
