Passenger's Airbag
B240B04FC-D
Upon deployment, tear seams molded di-
rectly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags.Further opening of the covers then allows fullinflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head or chest injury.
CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories
(drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above theglove box in a vehicle with passenger'sside air bag. Such objects may become When the SRSCM detects a considerable
impact to the front of the vehicle, it will auto-matically deploy the airbags.
B240B02L-D
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6seconds after the ignition key is turned to the"ON" position or after the engine is started,after which the SRI should go out.
B240B03L-D
The airbag modules are located both in the centre of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box.

SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L-D
The SRS consists of the following compo-
nents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
whilst the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enoughto require airbag deployment.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash yourhands and face thoroughly with luke-warm water and a mild soap after anaccident in which the airbags were de-ployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Ifthe SRS SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on, after flashingfor about 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes onwhilst driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have your ve-hicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai authorised repairer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon- nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-tion key to the "LOCK" position orremove the ignition key. Never removeor replace the air bag related fuse(s)when the ignition key is in the "ON"position. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illuminate.
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag immedi- ately starts deflating, enabling the driver tomaintain forward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on theinstrument panel pad surface. If there isany leakage from the air freshener ontothese areas (instrument cluster, instrumentpanel pad or air ventilator), it may damagethese parts. If the liquid from the air fresh-ener does leak onto these areas, washthem with water immediately. B240B05L

B990B04Y-EAT Side Impact Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/orthe front passenger with additional protectionthan that offered by the seat belt alone. Theside impact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side impact collisions, de-pending on the crash severity, angle, speedand point of impact. The air bags are notdesigned to deploy in all side impact situa-tions.

WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearwardfacing child restraint on a seat pro- tected by an airbag in front of it!
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never beplaced in the front seat. The infant orchild could be severely injured by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition of anykind of badges to the pad covers ormodifications to the body structure,can adversely affect SRS performanceand lead to possible injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured is by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt prop-erly fastened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel at the9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent 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. B240C03Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must beinspected by an Hyundai authorised repairerin 10 years after the date that the vehicle wasmanufactured. Any work on the SRS system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling ofthe SRS system may result in serious per-sonal injury.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water.Solvents or cleaners could adverselyaffect the airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an Hyundai authorised re-pairer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of per-sonal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor-tant points and make certain that thismanual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have thecar towed to Hyundai authorised re-pairer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper guard with the one other thanthe Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise,it can adversely affect SRS performanceand lead to unexpected injury.
