2004 Hyundai Getz Owner's Manual

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 31
o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants
including 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 mo-
tion.
o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro-
tection in a crash. If an occupant is
out of position because of not
wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant
causing serious or fatal injuries.
The SRS consists of the following com-
ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's 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 frontal or near-frontal
impact is severe enough to require
airbag deployment. B240B03A-DAT

o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the
impact angle is less than 30

B240B03L-D
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.

Side airbag
sensor
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the
passenger's three point seat belt
systems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times whilst
the vehicle is in motion. The
airbags deploy only in certain side
impact conditions severe enough
to cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants. HTB072-D
o For best protection from the side
airbag system and to avoid being
injured is by the deploying side
impact airbag, both front seat oc-
cupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt prop-
erly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering
wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock
positions. The passenger's arms
and hands should be placed in
their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
o Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impact
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.
B990B04Y-EAT
Side Impact Airbag
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 passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations.

B240C02L 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 child could be se-
verely injured by an airbag de-
ployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-
ward facing restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of
it!
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect the
airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
B240C02Y-GAT
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. The entire SRS
system must be inspected by an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years
after the date that the vehicle was
manufactured.
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 personal
injury.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front
door and the front seat. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side air impact bag
that may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side airbag
sensor when the ignition key is
on.

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.
