1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI30
NOTE:o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the
airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be activated
if the seat belts are not being worn at the
time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger com-
partment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS airbag
is connected with the pre-tensioner seat
belt. The SRS airbag warning light on
the instrument panel will blink for ap-
proximately 6 seconds after the ignition
key has been turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, this warning light will illu-
minate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner
seat belts and SRS airbag system as
soon as possible.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
3. Be sure you and your passengers always
wear seat belts and wear them properly.o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.

CAUTION:
If the seat track position sensor is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning
light on the instrument panel will
illuminate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system, because the SRS
airbag warning light is connected with the
seat track position sensor. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position,
if it remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the seat
track position sensor and the advanced
SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track position
sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at
a different level than should be pro-
vided.
o Do not place any objects underneath the
front seats which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere with the
occupant classification system.
o Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seat. These
may cause a malfunction of the seat
track position sensor.NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in fron-
tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-
tended to deploy in light collisions in
which protection can be provided by the
pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assis-
tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
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
substitute for them. Therefore, your seat
belts must be worn at all times. The
airbags deploy only in certain frontal
impact conditions severe enough to
cause significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
o Sitting too close to a front airbag can
result in serious or fatal injury if the front
airbags inflate. Always sit as far back
from airbags as possible.
o Ignoring the SRS indicator light can re-
sult in serious or fatal injury if the airbags,
occupant classification system or pre-
tensioners do not work properly. Have
your car checked by a dealer as soon as
possible if the SRS warning light alerts
you to a potential problem.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the front
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact angle
is less than 30° from the forward longi-
tudinal axis of the vehicle. The front
airbags will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once. Seat belts
must be worn at all times.
AIR
BAG
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The occupant classification
system detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger's seat and will turn off the
front passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-
cation System" later in this section.

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the
SRS SRI does not come on, or continu-
ously remains on after flashing for about
6 seconds when the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position, or after the engine
is started, comes on while driving, the
SRS 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
to the "LOCK" position and remove the
ignition key. Never remove or replace the
air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition
key is in the "ON" position. Failure to
heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI
to illuminate.
WARNING:
B990A04E-AATOCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMThe Occupant Classification system is de-
signed to detect the presence of a properly-
seated front passenger and determine if the
passenger's front airbag and side impact airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The
system is designed to prevent the front
passenger's front and side impact airbags from
inflating if the passenger seat is occupied by
someone of light weight or the seat is occupied
by a passenger who is not seated properly. The
driver's front airbag and the driver's side impact
airbag are not affected or controlled by the
Occupant Classification system.
HXDFL240-A
If the front passenger seat is occupied by a
person that the system determines to be of adult
size, and they are seated properly (sitting up-
right, centered on the seat cushion, with their
seat belt on and legs comfortably extended, feet
on the floor, and with the seat in an upright
position), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will be turned off and the front
passenger's airbag will be able to inflate, if
necessary, in frontal crashes.NOTE:o The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates for about 6 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position or after the engine is
started, and then turns off in a few sec-
onds.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates, the passenger's front
airbag will not inflate in frontal crashes.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator does not illuminate, the passenger's
front airbag will be able to inflate, if
necessary, in frontal crashes.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates, the passenger's side
impact airbag will not inflate in side
impact crashes. If the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator does not illuminate,
the passenger's side impact airbag will
be able to inflate, if necessary, in side
impact crashes.
NOTE:Your vehicle's Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem Control Module is equipped a record-
ing device which may record the use of the
seat belt restraint system by the driver and
front passenger in certain collisions.

WARNING:
!
CAUTION:
If the Occupant Classification system is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning
light on the instrument panel will
illuminate because the passenger's front
and side impact airbags are connected with
the Occupant Classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the Occupant Classifi-
cation system, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will not illuminate and the
passenger's front and side impact airbags
will inflate in frontal or side impact crashes
even if there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, if it
remains illuminated after blinking for ap-
proximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the Oc-
cupant Classification system and the SRS
airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the Occupant Classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never be placed in
the front seat. Children who are too large
for child restraint systems should al-
ways occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
o The Occupant Classification system can
function only when the ignition key is in
the "ON" position. If the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat is occu-
pied by an adult and they are seated
properly (sitting upright, centered on
the seat cushion, with their seat belt on
and legs comfortably extended, feet on
the floor, and with the seat in an upright
position) the Occupant Classification
system may not be working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle immedi-
ately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.o If luggage or other objects are placed on
the front passenger's seat or if the tem-
perature of the seat changes, the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not indicate
a problem.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator blinks continuously when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an adult
and they are seated properly (sitting
upright, centered on the seat cushion,
with their seat belt on and legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and with
the seat in an upright position) have that
person sit in the rear seat. If this occurs,
have the Occupant Classification sys-
tem checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.
o If you change the weight on the seat, the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
may be turned on or off for a few sec-
onds, temporarily disabling or enabling
the passenger airbags.

B260B01A-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Service
Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes
on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after
the engine is started, after which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after flashing for
about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS
inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.
B260P01E-GAT
ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System indicator will come on
and then go off after three seconds. If the ABS
SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does
not come on when the key is turned to the "ON"
position, this indicates that there may be a
problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.
B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn
signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not
illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal
system is indicated. Your dealer should be
consulted for repairs.B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on when-
ever the headlights are switched to the high
beam or flash position.
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON"
or come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D. (Electronic brake force
distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have
your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.

B260H03A-AAT
Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid
Level Level Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on
while the engine is running, serious engine
damage may result. The oil pressure warn-
ing light comes on whenever there is insuf-
ficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it
should come on when the ignition switch
is turned on, then go out when the engine
is started. If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is running, there
may be a serious malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the
engine oil to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on with the
engine running, turn the engine off imme-
diately. In any instance where the oil light
stays on when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by a Hyundai
dealer before the car is driven again.
!
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warning light
should come on when the parking brake is
applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
or "START". After the engine is started, the light
should go out when the parking brake is re-
leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when
the engine starts. If the light comes on at any
other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring
it to a complete stop in a safe location off the
roadway.The brake fluid level warning light indicates that
the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder
is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is
found, the car should be immediately and care-
fully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection.
If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle
should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer
by a professional towing service or some other
safe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still have
braking on two wheels even if one of the dual
systems should fail. With only one of the dual
systems working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to stop
the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only half of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking
and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
!
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your
brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible. Driving your car with a
problem in either the brake electrical sys-
tem or brake hydraulic system is danger-
ous, and could result in a serious injury or
death.
