o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the
SRS SRI does not illuminate or contin-
uously remains on after illuminating for
about 6 seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, or after
the engine is started, illuminates while
driving, 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.
WARNING:
B990A01JM-AATOCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMIf your instrument panel has the indicator pic-
tured in the following illustration, your vehicle
has an occupant classification system.
The indicator will be visible when you turn the
ignition key to START or RUN. The words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" will be visible on
the instrument panel during the system check.
When the system check is complete, the pas-
senger sensing system will turn off the right front
passenger's frontal air bag under certain con-
ditions. The driver's air bag and the side impact
air bags are not affected by the occupant
classification system.
B990A01JM
NOTE:Your vehicle's Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem Control Module is equipped a record-
ing device which may record the use of the
seat belt restraint system by the driver and
front passenger in certain collisions.The occupant classification system works with
sensors that are part of the right front
passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a prop-
erly-seated occupant and determine if the
passenger's frontal air bag should be
enabled(may inflate) or not.
!
WARNING:
o A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger's air bag inflates.
o The safest place for children is in the rear
seat. Rearward and forward facing child
restraint and booster seats must only be
used in the rear seat.
o Children under the age of 13 must al-
ways ride in the rear seat, properly re-
strained in child restraints or with the
vehicle seat belts, depending upon their
size.NOTE:Many times an indicator light is a sign that
there is a need for service. In the case of the
occupant classification system indicator, it
does not mean there is a need for service.
It informs the occupants of the status of the
right front passenger's airbag on or off.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI36
!
The occupant classification system is designed
to enable(may inflate) the right front passenger's
frontal air bag anytime the system senses that
a person of adult size is sitting properly in the
right front passenger's seat. When the passen-
ger sensing system has allowed the air bag to
be enabled, the indicator will turn off and stay
turned off to remind you that the air bag is active.
For some children who have outgrown child
restraints and for very small adults, the occu-
pant classification system may or may not turn
off the right front passenger's frontal air bag,
depending upon the person's seating posture
and body build.
If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front
passenger's seat, but the indicator is turned on,
it could be because that person isn't sitting
properly in the seat. The right front passenger
should sit 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.
Aftermarket equipment, such as seat covers,
can affect how the occupant classification sys-
tem operates. Do not use seat covers or other
aftermarket equipment if your vehicle has the
occupant classification system.
!
B990B02JM-AATPassenger Air Bag Status IndicatorIf your vehicle has the occupant classification
system, your instrument panel will have a pas-
senger air bag status indicator.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or
START, the passenger air bag status indicator
will be turned on and off for several seconds as
a system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will be turned on
or off to let you know the status of the right front
passenger's frontal air bag.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
illuminated, it means that the right front
passenger's frontal air bag is disabled. If the
indicator is not illuminated, it means that the right
front passenger's frontal air bag is enabled.
B990A01JM
CAUTION:
Stowing of articles under the passenger's
seat or between the passenger's seat cush-
ion and seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the occupant classifi-
cation system.
WARNING
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that person.

The occupant classification system can func-
tion 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 occupied by an adult who
is seated properly sitting upright and with the
seat in an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with their seat belt on and legs comfort-
ably extended feet on the floor, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" status indi-
cator light is on or off under the following

WARNING:
o A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger's air bag inflates. Don't
use a rear-facing child restraint in the
right front passenger's seat.
o If the indicator and the air bag readiness
light ever illuminate at the same time, it
means that something may be wrong
with the air bag system. If this ever
happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly, because an adult-size person
sitting in the right front passenger seat
may not have the supplemental protec-
tion of the frontal air bag.
o If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
airbag is connected with the occupant
classification system.
o If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG" indicator will illuminate and
the front passenger's airbag will not
deploy in frontal crashes.
!
WARNING:
o If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON" position, if it remains illumi-
nated after coming on for approximately
6 seconds, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system with the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
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. The
infant or child could be severely injured
or killed by an airbag deployment in case
of an accident. A child restraint system
must never be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always 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. *1) The system judges a person of adult size as
an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the system may detect him/
her as a child depending on his/her physique
and posture.*2) When a larger child who has outgrown a child
restraint system sits in the passenger seat,
the system may detect him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique and posture.

o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that
this manual is transferred to the new
owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, don't try
to start the engine; have the car towed to
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper
guard with the one other than the Hyundai
genuine parts. Otherwise, it can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to an increased risk of injury.
WARNING:
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can give
you the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of personal
injury.

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.B240C01JM-AATSRS Careo The SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder
Indicator) does not illuminate, or continu-
ously remains on, have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed by
a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTSB260B01JM-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Service
Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes
on for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position or after the engine
is started, after which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after coming on for
about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS
inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn
signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not
illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal
system is indicated. Your dealer should be
consulted for repairs.
B260E02O-AAT
Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Chime
The seat belt reminder light blinks until your seat
belt is fastened when the ignition key is turned
from the "OFF" position to "ON" or "START" and
the warning chime will sound for 6 seconds.B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on when-
ever the headlights are switched to the high

B260G01A-AAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning light stays on
while the engine is running, serious engine
damage may result. The oil pressure warn-
ing light comes on whenever there is insuf-
ficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it
should come on when the ignition switch
is turned on, then go out when the engine
is started. If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is running, there
is a serious malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the
engine oil to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on with the
engine running, turn the engine off imme-
diately. In any instance where the oil light
stays on when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by a Hyundai
dealer before the car is driven again.
