B030A01P-GAT BEFORE OPERATION PRECAUTIONS FOR NEWVEHICLE The performance and life of a vehicle depend largely on how the vehicle is handled when new.To maintain the parts smoothly and sustain high performance for a long time to come, be sure to observe thefollowing points. Make sure that your vehicle does not miss the first 5,000 km inspec- tions. After the first 5,000 km of driving, take your vehicle to your nearest service shop for inspection. B040A01P-GAT OPERATION IN FOREIGN COUN- TRIES If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
!
B055A02P-GAT LOADING YOUR VEHICLE Never load the luggage and people to exceed GVWR(MLW) and GAWR ofyour vehicle. You can find the GVWR(MLW) and GAWR -maximum loading capacities-on the VIN plate. The GVWR(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) or MLW(Maximum LoadedWeight) means total weight of the ve- hicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. And GAWR means the maximumweights that the front and rear axles can endure the weights including ve- hicle itself weight.
WARNING:
Improperly loading your car canseriously affect its steering and braking performance causing a crash in which you may be seri-ously injured or killed. NOTE: Your warranty does not cover parts or components that fail because of overloading.

49SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
B240A01F-GAT (If installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) Sys-tem. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag padcover 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 thecenter of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. (The purpose of the SRS isto provide the vehicle's driver and/or Driver's Side Airbag
B240A01P
!
the front passenger with additional pro- tection than that offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.) 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 besupplemental to, the driver's andthe passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy onlyin certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axisof the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating posi- tion to minimize the risk of se-vere injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
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, theairbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fa- tal injuries.

The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel andin the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM de- tects a considerable impact to the frontof the vehicle, it will automatically de- ploy the airbags. Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expan-sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slowsthe driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enablingthe driver to maintain forward visibility.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out.B240B02L

B240B02P-AAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Side Airbag Module
- Passenger's Side Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator(SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01L

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 deployment 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 inflation of the airbags or by rendering the SRSinoperative.
!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 affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury. B240C01HP
B240C01HP-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you cansafely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer 10 yearsafter the date that the vehicle was manufactured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must beperformed by a qualified Hyundai tech- nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.

5. Avoid idling the engine for prolonged
periods with people inside the car. If it is unavoidable, however, be sure to do so in an open area and adjust the heating or cooling system toforce outside into the vehicle.
6. Make sure that the ventilation air
intakes located just in front of thewindshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions, to assure proper operation of the ven-tilation system.
7. Get the back door closed while driv-
ing. An incompletely closed backdoor may cause exhaust fumes to be drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the back door opento accommodate a large object, close the windows, open the dash- board vents and have the heating orcooling system deliver fresh air into the vehicle by turning the fan to high speeds with the air intake controllever set in the "Fresh" position (Mini- bus, Van).
