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

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.
