WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy,it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When youunbuckle the seat belt and allow it toretract, the retractor will automaticallyrevert back to its normal seated pas- senger emergency locking usage con- dition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup- plied by the child restraint systemmanufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the systemchecked immediately by your au-thorized Hyundai dealer.!

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal colli-sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts canbe activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or ifthe occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tightercontact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in theillustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module HTB198-D

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 front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated underthese conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which mayappear to be smoke, may be vis- ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazard-ous.
1- 28 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust 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. it illuminates whilst the vehicle isbeing driven, please have an au-thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRSairbag system as soon as pos- sible.
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt systemin any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to notstrike, modify, inspect, replace,service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motorvehicle.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected withthe pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRSairbag warning light on theinstrument panel will blink forapproximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position and then it shouldturn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if itremains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate only one time. After activa- tion, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replacedafter they have been worn during acollision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot dur- ing activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assembliesfor several minutes after they havebeen activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place 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.

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 thecentre 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 front passenger with additional protec- B240A01TB-EAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM

tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe back of the sun visor and in the glove box.
!WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likely causesignificant injury to the vehicleoccupants. o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,airbags will not normally deployin frontal crashes below the de-ployment threshold speed.
1- 30 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether ornot an airbag is also provided attheir seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to theairbag while the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupant isout of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupantcausing serious or fatal injuries.
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 all elements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment.
B240B03A-DAT SRS Components and Functions
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position orafter the engine is started, after whichthe SRI should go out.

B240B03L-D
The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.
Passenger's Airbag
HTB204-D
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expansionof the airbags. Further opening of thecovers then allows full inflation of theairbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo-tion, thus reducing the risk of head orchest injury.

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 side air bag. Such objects may become danger-ous projectiles and cause injury ifthe passenger's side air bag inflates. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.

B990B04Y-EAT Side Impact Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. Thepurpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side impact colli-sions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in allside impact situations.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel padsurface. If there is any leakage fromthe air freshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these ar-eas, wash them with water immedi-ately.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor-mal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated dur-ing airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in whichthe airbags were deployed. o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for about 6 sec- onds when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comeson while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
