2003 Hyundai Coupe warning

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 22
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be releasedthroughout the vehicle. These conditionsare normal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated during airbagdeployment may cause skin irritation.Wash your hands and face thoroughlywith lukewarm water and a mild soap afteran accident in which the airbags weredeployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni- tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRSSRI does not come on or illuminatescontinuously when the ignition key isturned to "ON", or continuously remainson after flashing for about 6 seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, or after the engine is started,comes on while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have yourvehicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heed thiswarning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
FUD1115A
CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air fresh-ener inside a vehicle, do not place it near theinstrument cluster nor on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakage from theair freshener onto these areas (instrumentcluster, instrument panel pad or air ventila-tor), it may damage these parts. If the liquidfrom the air freshener does leak onto theseareas, wash them with water immediately. Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag ineach front seat. The purpose of the airbag is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that of-fered by the seatbelt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy only during cer-tain side-impact collisions, depending on thecrash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.The air bags are not designed to deploy in all sideimpact situations. WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's seat beltsystems and is not a substitute for them.Therefore your seat belts must be worn atall times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain side impactconditions severe enough to cause sig-nificant injury to the vehicle occupants.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT1- 23
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.A child restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant or childcould be severely injured by an airbagdeployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir-ing, including the addition of any kind of badgesto the pad cover or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRSperformance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the horn pad, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moist-ened with plain water. Solvents or clean-ers could adversely affect the airbag coverand proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag module on the steering wheel,because any such object could cause harmif the vehicle is in a crash severe enoughto cause the airbag to inflate.
o If the airbag inflates, it must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbag or byrendering the SRS inoperative.
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured by thedeploying side airbag, both front seat oc-cupants should sit in an upright positionwith the seat belt properly fastened. Thedriver's hands should be placed on thesteering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clockpositions. The passenger's arms andhands should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re- duce the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side air bag that may result in personalinjury,avoid impact to the side airbag sen-sor when the ignition key is on. FB110C2-F SRS Care
YT10355A
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer 10years after the date that the vehicle was manu-factured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steeringwheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundaitechnician.Improper handling of the SRS system may resultin serious personal injury.

LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LAMP
The low fuel warning lamp serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approxi-mately 9 litres and that the vehicle should berefuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extendedperiod with the low fuel warning lamp illuminatedthere exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel
becoming defective, approximately fifty per centof the normal braking performance will be avail-able.If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the requiredamount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stoppingdistance will be increased. Use of the gearbox isrecommended to assist in bringing the vehicle torest. The vehicle must not be driven once brakefailure has occurred until the system has beenrepaired and is functioning normally.The braking system employs a vacuum servo inorder that the pedal efforts are reduced. Powerfor the servo is derived from the engine andtherefore, in the event of the engine stopping orthe vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will besubstantially increased. SB210M1-E
CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LAMP
The charging system warning lamp should illumi- nate when the ignition switch is turned to the"ON" position and should be extinguished whenthe engine is started.
