The vehicles are equipped with 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.
You can be severely injured or killed
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 Restraint Systems - 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 System or booster seat in
the front passenger seat, unless the air bag is deactivated.
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, centred 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.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or centre console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle.WARNING

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s frontair bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labelled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity. (Continued)
•
Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
whilst still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or
centre console.
• Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.
• No objects (such as crash pad
cover, mobile phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stick-
ers) should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, windscreen glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
• Do not attach any objects on
front windscreen and inside
mirror.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.
Never allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front passenger
seat when the passenger air
bag OFF indicator is illuminat-
ed. During a collision, the air
bag will not inflate if the indica-
tor is illuminated. Turn on the
passenger’s front air bag or
have your passenger move to
the rear seat.
WARNING
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions,
the following conditions may
occur:
•The air bag warning light ( )
on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
•The passenger air bag OFF
indicator ( ) will not illumi-
nate and the ON indicator ( )
will come on and go off after
approximately 60 seconds.
The passenger’s front air bag
will inflate in a frontal impact
even though the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch is
set to the OFF position.
•We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch and the SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.

The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side air bags on both sides of the
vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sen-
sor. (if equipped with rollover sensor)
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.(Continued)
•
Do not place any objects
between the door and the
seat. They may become dan-
gerous 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 air bag 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 is in the ON position or
this may cause the side air
bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is
damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.(Continued)
•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 posi-
tions, to minimise 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,

How does the air bags system
operate?
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
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assem-blies
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)/ Rollover sensor
(8) Front impact sensors (9)
Side impact sensors
(10) Side pressure sensors
(11) Emergency Fastening Device (EFD)
(12) Passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator (front passenger's
seat only)
(13) Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst 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.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration. The
system checks the air bag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light indi-
cates that there is a potential problem
with your air bag system, which could
include your side and/or curtain air
bags used for rollover protection (if
equipped with rollover sensor).

Safety system of your vehicleDuring a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol 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 pro-
vide adequate restraint. When need-
ed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side
impact or rollover by supporting the
side upper body area.
• Air bags are activated (able toinflate 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 determine 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 vehi-
cles 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
compartments after the collision.
• In addition to inflating in serious side collisions, vehicles equipped
with a rollover sensor, side and/or
curtain air bags will inflate if the
sensing system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, cur-
tain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection
from ejection, especially when
used in conjunction with the seat
belts. (if equipped with a rollover
sensor)
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
•The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
•The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
•The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.

• To help provide protection, the airbags must inflate rapidly. The
speed of air bag inflation is a con-
sequence of extremely short time
in which to inflate the air bag
between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu-
pant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk
of serious or life-threatening
injuries and is thus a necessary
part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken bones 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, espe-
cially if the occupant is positioned
excessively close to the air bag. You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too
close to the air bag. An air bag needs
space to inflate. It is recommended
that drivers sit as far as possible
between the centre of the steering
wheel and the chest whilst still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the front pas-
senger's forward motion, reducing
the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls. To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
•Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD hold-
er, stickers, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box where the passen-
ger's air bag is located.
•Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
