WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type, should always
be replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the
pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS airbag
is connected with the pre-tensioner seat
belts. The SRS airbag warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the igni-
tion key has been turned to the "ON"
position, and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, this warning light will illu-
minate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to "ON" or if it
remains illuminated after approximately
6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, please have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.

NOTE:o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the
airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger com-
partment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
all exposed skin areas thoroughly after
an accident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.

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 system alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses sensors to
gather information about the driver's seat posi-
tion, the driver's and front passenger's seat belt
usage and impact severity.
The driver's seat track position sensors, which
are installed on the seat track, determine if the
seats are fore or aft of a reference position. The
seat belt buckle sensors determine if the driver
and front passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the driver's
seat is to the steering wheel, whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how severe the
impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to control
the airbag inflation with two levels. A first stage
level is provided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for more
severe impacts.According to the impact severity, seating posi-
tion and seat belt usage, the SRSCM(SRS
Control Module) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with an
occupant classification system 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 airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-
cation System" later in this section.
B240A02GK-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an advanced
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence are the
letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel above the glove box.Driver's Front Airbag

CAUTION:
If a seat track position sensor or an occu-
pant classification system is not working
properly, the SRS airbag warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate be-
cause the SRS airbag warning light is con-
nected with the seat track position sensor
and the occupant classification system. If
the SRS airbag warning light does not illu-
minate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illuminated af-
ter approximately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ON" position, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer
inspect the advanced SRS airbag system as
soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track position
sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at
a different level than should be pro-
vided.
o Do not place any objects underneath the
front seats as they could damage the
seat track position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seat. These
may cause a malfunction of the seat
track position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the topside
of the sun visor and in the glove box.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in fron-
tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-
tended to deploy in collisions in which
sufficient protection can be provided by
the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assis-
tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

When an adult is seated in the front passenger
seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is on, turn the ignition key to "LOCK" and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting upright
with the seat back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person remain
in that position. This will allow the system to detect
the person and to enable the passenger air bag.
Proper position
B990A01O
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
still on, ask the passenger to move to the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult 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 crash. If the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator re-
mains illuminated after the passenger re-
positions themselves properly and the car
is restarted, we recommend that passenger
move to the rear seat because the
passenger's front air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must stay properly
seated to avoid serious injury from a de-
ploying air bag.
NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
illuminates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position
or after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occupant
classification sensor will then classify the
front passenger after several more sec-
onds.
!
WARNING:
Do not put a heavy load in the front passen-
ger seatback pocket or on the front passen-
ger seat. Do not hang onto the front pas-
senger seat. Do not hang any items such as
a seatback table on the front passenger
seatback. Do not place feet on the front
passenger seatback. Do not place any items
under the front passenger seat. Any of
these could interfere with proper sensor
operation.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
7
!
WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contrib-
ute to loss of vehicle control and
increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tires will cause the tires to overheat
and fail.TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring
system) malfunction telltale
The TPMS malfunction indicator turns
on and stays on when there is a problem
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem. If the system is able to correctly
detect an under-inflation warning at the
same time as system failure then it will
illuminate both the TPMS malfunction
and the low tire pressure telltale e.g. if
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS mal-
function indicator turns, but if Front
Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure tell-tale may turn on at the same time as the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible to determine the cause of the
problem.
NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle
is operated in areas close to elec-
tric power supply cables or radio
transmitters such as near police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports, or
transmitting towers, etc. which can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if some elec-
tronic devices, such as notebook
computers, are used in the ve-
hicle. This can interfere with nor-
mal operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is
possible for the TPMS to tempo-
rarily learn a replacement sensor
if closely driven to another vehicle
that is also equipped with TPMS.
In rare cases, this may tempo-
rarily delay the TPMS malfunction
indicator from turning on.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the
flat tire repaired by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible or replace
the flat tire with the temporary spare
tire. NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. It is recom-
mended that you always have your tires
serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
