o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provideprotection in a crash. If an occu-pant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact theoccupant causing serious or fa- tal injuries. B240B02GK-GAT SRS Components and Functions 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 requireairbag deployment.B240B01Lo Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci- dental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, makesure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver shouldalways wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating posi-tion to minimize the risk of severe

!WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the additionof any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely af- fect 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 orcleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper de- ployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, be- cause any such object couldcause 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 authorizedHyundai dealer.
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.
B240C01Y-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 beperformed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in seriouspersonal injury.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
18
C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous prac-tices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance be- tween the vehicle in front and yourvehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws before fitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Gly- col Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor-dance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez-ing point is sufficient for the tempera- tures anticipated during the winter. C160D01F-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in Section 6 (See page 6-30). The level ofcharge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight"oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you shoulduse, consult your Hyundai dealer. C160F01F-GAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 (See page 6-12) and re- place them if necessary. Also checkall ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.

E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergentand warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this mayweaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying orother signs of damage and replace them if necessary. E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However,when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
G200A01GK-AAT
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the sys-tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a relay box(1.6L/2.0L) or below the positive(+) post cover of the battery (2.7L) for easy inspection. CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never
use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amper-age rating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious dam-age and create a fire hazard.
Good G200B02A-AAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be foundlow on the dashboard on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find a list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse.If any of your car's lights or otherelectrical accessories stop working, ablown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure:

replaced by a Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbag or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
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 authorised repairer knows theseprecautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and pro-cedures could increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make cer- tain that this manual is trans-ferred to the new owner together with the vehicle.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to startengine; have car towed to Hyundai authorised repairer.
