o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously re- mains on after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comeson while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediatelyinspected 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 ignitionkey. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dustwill be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your hands and face thoroughly withlukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrumentcluster nor on the instrument panel pad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto theseareas (Instrument cluster, instru- ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq-uid from air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.

B990B04Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designed todeploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash se- verity, angle, speed and point of im-pact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. B990B02Y
WARNING:
The Passenger Presence Detectionsystem is not intended to preventairbag deployment while a child is in the front passenger's seat. It is intended only as a means to reduceunnecessary collision damage re- pair expense by preventing airbag and seat belt pretensioner deploy-ment when the right front passen- ger seat is unoccupied. Deployment is still possible if only a few poundsare placed upon the seat. There- fore, children must not be trans- ported in the front seat. All childrenmust be seated in the rear seat and properly restrained with the vehicle's restraint system or a childrestraint system appropriate for the child's size and weight.
!
B990A04Y-GAT PASSENGER PRESENCE
DETECTION (If installed) The passenger presence detection system detects the presence of a pas- senger in the front seat. If no passen-ger is recognized on the front passen- ger seat, the deployment of the front passenger and/or side airbag and seatbelt pretentioner will be inhibited. This system is designed primarily to prevent the replacement of airbag com-ponents that deploy needlessly in an accident. NOTE: Luggage or other cargo heavier than 15 kg should not be placed on the passenger front seat. This can al- low the deployment of the frontpassenger and/or side air bag in the case of an accident.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 37
o Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause in- jury if the supplemental side im- pact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.o For best protection from the sideairbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying sideimpact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an up- right position with the seat beltproperly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness ofthe system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
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.
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain side im-pact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants. HXGS261

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the padcovers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, be- cause any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
B240C02L
WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbagin front of it!
o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat.The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de- ployment in case of an accident.

B240C02Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an au- thorized Hyundai dealer 10 years afterthe date that the vehicle was manufac- tured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must be
performed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 39
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, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.
o If components of the airbag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa- tion. Failure to follow these pre-cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in- jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that this manual is trans-ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to startengine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.

B260D01A-AAT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi- cated by the turn signals. If the arrowcomes on but does not illuminate, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in theturn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs. B260F01A-AAT
HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT
