CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor
on the instrument panel surface. If there is any leakage 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 immediately.

CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel will
blink for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position, 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
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 illumi-
nates 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.
AIR
BAG
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
with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will
be activated even 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.
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.
!
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 seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
!
B240A03Y-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with a 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 the
front passenger with additional protection when
used together with the seat belt, in case of a
frontal impact.
B240A01L
Driver's Airbag
NOTE:Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of
the sun visor and in the glove box.
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 while the
vehicle is in motion. In addition, the
airbags deploy only in certain frontal
impact conditions severe enough to likely
cause significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
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. Additionally,
the airbags will only deploy once. Thus,
seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in light collisions in which protection
can be provided by the seat belt alone.o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes. In addition, airbags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below the de-
ployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close
to the airbag, it can cause death or seri-
ous injury when it inflates.

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 gener-
ated during airbag deployment may
cause skin irritation. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly with lukewarm water
and a mild soap after an accident in
which the airbags were deployed.
B240B05L
Passenger's Airbag
WARNING:
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 driv-
ing, the SRS is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle immedi-
ately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition key
to the "LOCK" position or 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.

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:
o For best protection from the side impact
airbag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side impact airbag,
both front seat occupants should sit in
an upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of
the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury
if the supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
!
!
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. Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.

NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in " " mode
will give rise to misting of the windshield
and side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment will become
stale. In addition prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the " " mode selected
may result in the air within the passenger
compartment becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON",
the air intake control will change to " "
mode (regardless of switch position).
This is normal operation.
