SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following compo-
nents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- Pre-tensioner seat belt
- Front impact sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat position
sensors
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough t o r e -
quire airbag deployment.
B240B01L
WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teen-
agers and older) must ride in the front
seat, make sure they are always prop-
erly belted and that the seat is moved
back as far as possible.WARNING:o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants includ-
ing the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the occu-
pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

!WARNING:o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions must
be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows
these precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform
the new owner of these important points
and make certain that this manual is trans-
ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have the
car towed to an authorized Hyundai deal-
er.WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
baby could be severely injured by an
airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to pos-
sible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deployment
of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove box, because
any such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough to
cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window
Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer system
from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so-
lution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
C160F01A-AATCheck Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-
tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Also
check all ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in
any way.
C160G01A-AAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-
proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it
with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be
able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle
the heated key with care to avoid burning the
fingers.
C160I01A-AATDon't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If you think the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)
or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
C160K01A-AATCarry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps
or chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT
Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the
steering. When driving in severe winter condi-
tions where this may happen, you should peri-
odically check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway
driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-
sure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:
High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both
engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.

Any Questions?
If you have any questions about the care of your
car, consult your Hyundai dealer.
E040D01A-AATCleaning the Seat Belts
To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge
with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do
not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra-
sive materials on the seat belts as this may
weaken the fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex-
cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of
damage and replace them if necessary.
E040E01A-AATCleaning the Windows
You may use any household window cleaner on
the windows. However, when cleaning the in-
side of the rear window be careful not to damage
the rear window defroster wiring.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6- 15
G140D01A-AATChecking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be
checked at least once a month with the engine
turned off.
To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft
and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your
finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 1/3 of an inch. If you have the
instruments to check it, with a force of 22 lb.
(98N), the deflection should be 0.315 inches
(approx. 8.0 mm). If the belt is too loose, have
it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.CRANK PULLEY

G200B01A-AATReplacing Accessory Fuse
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found low on the dashboard
on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find
a list showing the circuits protected by each
fuse.
CAUTION:When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the same
or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece
of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This
could result in serious damage and create a
fire hazard.
!
HLC4002
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse could
be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse.
Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a
small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the
fuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you
find one that appears to have burned out.
HLC4003
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new
fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse
should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse
clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai deal-
G200A01A-AATCHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-
venting damage to the entire wiring harness.
(This could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) If this ever happens,
have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,
repair the system and replace the fusible link.
The fusible links are located in a relay box for
easy inspection.
