WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type, should always
be replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the
pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.
ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)B240A01E-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an advanced
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence are the
letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel above the glove box. The purpose of the
SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system alone, in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.The SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather
information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat position, the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and impact sever-
ity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat track
position sensors, which are installed on the seat
track, determine if the seats are fore or aft of a
reference position. Similarly, the seat belt buckle
sensors determine if the driver and front
passenger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on how close the driver's
seat is to the steering wheel, how close the
passenger's seat is to the instrument panel,
whether or not the seat belts are fastened, and
how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to control
the airbag inflation with two levels. A first stage
level is provided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for more
severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating posi-
tion and seat belt usage, the SRSCM(SRS
Control Module) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI34
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 or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will blink for about 6 sec-
onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box. When
the SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impact
to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front airbags.

SRS Components and FunctionsThe SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver's Airbag Module
2. Passenger's Airbag Module
3. Knee Bolster
4. Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
5. Front Impact Sensor
6. Driver's and Front Passenger's Seat Belt
Buckle Sensors
7. Driver's and Front Passenger's Seat Track
Position Sensors
8. SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
9. SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
10.Occupant Classification System
(Front passenger's seat only)
11.Passenger Airbag Off IndicatorUpon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-
sure from the expansion of the airbags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full inflation of
the airbags.
