Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em-
bossed on the airbag pad cover in the
steering wheel and printed on the
passenger's side front panel pad above
the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional protec- B240A01TB-EAT

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 on
the 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 seat
belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in motion. In
addition, the airbags deploy only
in certain frontal impact condi-
tions severe enough to likely cause
significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
o Do not attempt to service or repairthe pre-tensioner seat belt system
in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warnings to not
strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor
vehicle.

The airbag modules are located both in
the centre of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger's panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
considerable impact to the front of the
vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
airbags.
Passenger's Airbag
HTB204-D
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will sepa-
rate under pressure from the expansion
of the airbags. Further opening of the
covers then allows full inflation of the
airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination
with a properly worn seat belt slows the
driver's or the passenger's forward mo-
tion, thus reducing the risk of head or
chest injury.
The SRS service reminder indicator
(SRI) on the instrument panel will blink
for about 6 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.

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 pad
surface. If there is any leakage from
the air freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument panel
pad 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 cause
skin irritation. Be sure to wash
your hands and face thoroughly
with lukewarm water and a mild
soap after an accident in which
the airbags were deployed. 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 remains
on, after flashing for about 6 sec-
onds when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, or
after the engine is started, or comes
on while driving, the SRS is not
working 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, turn
the ignition key to the "LOCK"
position or remove the ignition
key. 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.

Passenger's Airbag
!
CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a ve-
hicle with passenger's side air bag.
Such objects may become danger-
ous projectiles and cause injury if
the passenger's side air bag inflates.
After complete inflation, the airbag im-
mediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility.

o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules on the
steering 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
inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, 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 render-
ing the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag sys- tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be ob-
served. Your Hyundai dealer
knows 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, be sure to
inform the new owner of these
important points and make cer-
tain that this manual is trans-
ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
engine; have the car towed to
authorized Hyundai dealer.

Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for
a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windows
closed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. This
increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility of
the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning
once every month for a few min-
utes. This will help circulate the
lubricants and keep your system in
peak operating condition. Inside of

conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent pollen filter
inspections and changes are re-
quired.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, it must be checked at
an authorized dealer.

CHANGING THE POLLEN FIL-
TER (In Front of evaporator unit)
(Not all models)
The pollen filter is located in front of the
evaporator unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease pollutants from
entering the car and to filter the air.
1. Remove the adjusting pins on both
sides of the glove box to open half
the glove box.

Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for ten
minutes or so weekly during periods
when the system would not normally be
used to ensure that the compressor and
seals are lubricated. If this precaution
is not observed the compressor seals
may become stuck to the compressor
shaft and damaged when the system is
next used resulting in a loss of refriger-
ant and damage to the compressor.
SG140C1-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera-
tion system running at the coldest
setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the sight glass on the top of the receiver
dryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insuffi- cient, a flow of bubbles will be ob-
served through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfac- tory, no bubbles will be observed
through the sight glass. CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system
with a low refrigerant level may dam-
age the compressor.
!
The air conditioning compressor drive
belt should be checked to ensure free-
dom from damage or excessive wear
and correct tension. The belt tension is
correct when the belt deflects by about
0.3 inches (8 mm) (1.1L: 5 ~ 5.5 mm)
when a force of 98 N is applied to the
belt halfway between the compressor
and crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of
the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai
dealer.
