WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position.!
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and frontpassenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated un-der these conditions even if theseat belts are not being worn atthe time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, whichmay appear to be smoke, may bevisible in the passenger com-partment. These are normal op- erating conditions and are not hazardous. illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, please have an au-thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRSairbag system as soon as pos-sible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts,of any type, should always bereplaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as- sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touchthe pre-tensioner seat belt as-semblies for several minutes af-ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done byan authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.!
o Although it is harmless, the finedust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for pro-longed periods. Wash your handsand face thoroughly after an acci- dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
! CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for ap-proximately 6 seconds after theignition key has been turned to the"ON" position, and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn- ing light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of theSRS airbag system . If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition keyis turned to "ON", or if it remainsilluminated after blinking for ap-proximately 6 seconds, or if it

Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in thesteering wheel and printed on thepassenger's side front panel pad abovethe glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in thecenter of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above theglove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the B240A01TB-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
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, inspect, re- place, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assembliesmay lead to improper operationor inadvertent activation and se-rious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when

front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and inthe glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental to, the driver's andthe passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy onlyin certain frontal impact condi-tions severe enough to causesignificant injury to the vehicleoccupants.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi-tion, airbags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box,because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to causethe airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com- ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraintsystem must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or childcould be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in caseof an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu- pants including the driver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi-tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in-juries.

The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment.

B240B02L
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position orafter the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head or chest injury. HTB204
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility. Passenger's Airbag

!CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accesso- ries (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger'spanel above the glove box in a ve-hicle with passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerousprojectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates. CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakagefrom the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instru-ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq- uid from the air freshener does leakonto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.

B990B03Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purposeof the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offeredby the seatbelt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in allside impact situations.o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously re- mains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, orcomes on while driving, the SRSis not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle imme- diately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
