B240C01HP-GAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so
there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be in-
spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer 10years after the date that the vehicle was man-ufactured.
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. Improper handling ofthe SRS system may result in serious personal
injury. WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing restraint on a seat protected by anairbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind ofbadges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can adverse-ly affect SRS performance and lead topossible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which hasbeen moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,instrument panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove box, becauseany such object could cause harm if the

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 cause skinirritation. Be sure to wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags 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, or comes on whilst 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.

2. DRIVING THE HYUNDAI
C010A01O-EAT WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaustsystem is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the hatchback door to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speedsetting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..
