Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the ignition
switch ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned on, the
seat belt warning light and the seat belt
warning chime will operate for approxi-
mately 6 seconds. But if it is fastened
within the 6 seconds, the warning light
will blink till the 6 seconds and the warn-
ing chime will turn off immediately.If the driver's seat belt is disconnected
after the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the seat belt warning light
will operate for approximately 6 seconds.
But if it is fastened within the 6 seconds,
the warning light will turn off immediately.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the seat belt warning light and
chime will operate for approximately 11
times with a pattern of 6 seconds on and
24 seconds off until the belt is fastened
or the vehicle speed decreases below 3mph (5 km/h).
WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or prevent
the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
When you fasten the seat belt, be careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan-
gerous and you may not be pro-
tected by the seat belt properly.
Do not unfasten the seat belt and do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving. This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident causing
death, serious injury, or property
damage.
When fastening the seat belt, make sure that the seat belt does
not pass over objects that are
hard or can break easily.
Make sure there is nothing in the buckle. The seat belt may not be
fastened securely.

✽✽NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front passen- ger's pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side col-
lisions or rollovers.
The pre-tensioners will not be activat-
ed if the seat belts are not being worn
at the time of the collision.
 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
compartment. These are normal oper-
ating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.
✽
✽ NOTICE
Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light ( ) on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags
– that are provided in this manu-al.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts prop-
erly.CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning lightwill illuminate even if there is no
malfunction of the SRS air bag. Ifthe SRS air bag warning light doesnot illuminate when the ignition switch is turned ON, or if it remains
illuminated after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt and SRSair bag system as soon as possible.

How does the air bag system operate
Air bags are activated (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON or START position.
The appropriate air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side collision in order 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 col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/ inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
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 accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim- ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments afterthe collision. In addition to inflating in serious side
collisions, side and/or curtain airbags will inflate if the sensing system detects
a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and/or curtain airbags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection from ejection, especially when used in con-
junction with the seat belts.
In order to help provide protection, the air bags must inflate rapidly. The speedof the air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which to
inflate the air bag between the occupant
and the vehicle structures before the
occupant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk of
serious or life-threatening injuries and is
thus a necessary part of the air bag
design. However, air bag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and brokenbones because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with a
great deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
WARNING
To avoid severe personal injury or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi-
ble (at least 10 inches (250 mm)
away). The front passengers
should always move their seats
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of collision, and passen-
gers may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.

Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning light in
your instrument panel is to alert you of a
potential problem with your airbag system,
which could include your side and/or cur-
tain airbags used for rollover protection.
When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the warning light should illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
The light does not turn on briefly whenyou turn the ignition ON.
The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
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)/
Rollover sensor
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi- cator (Front passenger’s seat only) 11. Occupant classification system
(Front passenger’s seat only)
12. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
13. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly (Driver/Passanger side, if equipped)
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS
components while 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.
If the airbag warning light remains illumi-
nated for more than 6 seconds after the
ignition is turned on, or if it illuminates
during vehicle operation, an SRS compo-
nent may not be functioning properly and
you should have your vehicle checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction in the airbag
system. Have an authorized 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 illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.

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.
B240B05L
Passenger’s front air bag
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 lukewarm water 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 air bag warn-
ing light does not illuminate, 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, or comes on
while driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
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 air bag warn-
ing light to illuminate.

Safety features of your vehicle
When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is on, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position 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 thesystem to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag.If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
✽✽
NOTICE
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch 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 pas-
senger after several more seconds.
B990A01O
WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi- cator is illuminated because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of a
crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator remains illuminated
after the adult passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the
car is restarted, it is recommended
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 deploying air bag.
WARNING
Do not put a heavy load or an active
electronic device (ex. Laptop com-
puter, navigation etc..) on the front
passenger seat. Do not place any
items under the front passenger
seat. Any of these could interfere
with proper sensor operation.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions. Theindications of the system's presence are
the letters "AIRBAG" embossed on the
air bag pad cover in the steering wheeland the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box. The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger 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 gath-
er information about the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage and impact
severity.
OLM039037
WARNING
If the occupant classification sys-
tem is not working properly, the
SRS air bag warning light onthe instrument panel will illuminate
because the passenger's front air
bag is connected with the occupant
classification system. If there is a
malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator will not
illuminate and the passenger's
front air bag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is no
occupant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, remains illuminated after
approximately 6 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the occupant classification system
and the SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.
