Driver's Airbag
B240A01GK-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)(Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of thesystem's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the ornament in the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel padabove the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel abovethe glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that of-fered by the seat belt system alone, in case of afrontal impact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated aloneor, where the frontal collision is severeenough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac- tivated, a loud noise may be heard and finedust, which may appear to be smoke, maybe visible in the passenger compartment.These are normal operating conditionsand are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not bebreathed for prolonged periods. Wash yourhands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat beltswere activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat beltalso.
o If there is some function in the pre- tensioner seat belt circuit, the warninglight will illuminate even if there is nomalfunction in the SRS airbag system. Ifthe SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate or illuminates continuouslywhen the ignition key is turned to "ON", orif it remains illuminated after blinking forapproximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-nates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and orSRS airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. Allseat belts, of any type, should always bereplaced after they have been worn duringa collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
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 heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent acti-vation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

o The driver should sit back as far as pos- sible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to theairbag, it can cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed 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 airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS onthe labels provided on the backside of thesun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. In addition, the airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of thevehicle and will not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, the airbagswill only deploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in which protection canbe provided by the seat belt alone.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, airbags will not de-ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed. o Do not install a child restraint system in the
front passenger seat position. A childrestraint system must never be placed inthe front seat. The infant or child could beseverely injured or killed by an airbagdeployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If older children (teenagesand older) must ride in the front seat,make sure they are always properly beltedand that the seat is moved back as far aspossible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants including thedriver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is also providedat their seating position to minimize therisk of severe injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the vehicle is inmotion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. Ifan occupant is out of position because ofnot wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT1- 21
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop- erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head and chest injury.After complete inflation, the airbag immediatelystarts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility.

CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glove boxin the vehicle with passenger's side air bag.Such objects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if the passenger'sside air bag inflates. Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressurefrom the expansion of the airbags. Further open-ing of the covers then allows full inflation of theairbags.
The airbag modules are located both in thecentre of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact to thefront of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.
B240B01GK-AAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Side Airbag Module - Passenger's Side Airbag Module- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-quire airbag deployment. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 secondsafter the ignition key is turned to the "ON" positionor after the engine is started, after which the SRIshould go out.

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.

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.

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
