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.

A fully inflated airbag, in combination with a
properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the
passenger's forward motion, reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility, and the ability to steer or
operate other controls.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re-
leased throughout the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous. However, the fine dust generat-
ed during airbag deployment may cause
skin irritation. Wash all exposed skin
area thoroughly with lukewarm water
and a mild soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed.Passenger's Airbag

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it
near the instrument cluster nor on the in-
strument panel surface. If there is any leak-
age from the air freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument panel or air
ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the
liquid from the air freshener does leak onto
these areas, wash them with water immedi-
ately.

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.

B990B04Y-GATSide Impact AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
front passenger with protection in a side impact
in addition to that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side impact collisions, de-
pending on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side impact airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
B990B02Y
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Your seat belts must be worn at all
times while the vehicle is in motion. The
airbags deploy only in certain side im-
pact conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
