parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them withwater immediately. WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re-leased throughout the vehicle. These con-ditions are normal and are not hazard-ous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Wash your hands and facethoroughly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in which theairbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai 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 heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.
Passenger's Airbag
YR10353A
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintainforward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid airfreshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel pad surface. If there is anyleakage from the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage these
CAUTION:Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox in a vehicle with passenger's air bag.Such objects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if the passenger'sair bag inflates.
Passenger's Airbag
The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact tothe front of the vehicle, it will automaticallydeploy the airbags.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directlyinto the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflationof the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or thepassenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head or chest injury.

o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury ifthe supplemental side impact air baginflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may result inpersonal injury, avoid impact to the sideairbag sensor when the ignition key ison.
B240C03Y-GAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and 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 remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician.
