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.

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.

!
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.

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.

B240D01JM-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the ve-
hicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain one
occupant. If more than one person uses the
same seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve occu-
pant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp objects
on your lap or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an airbag inflates.oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit upright, fully
back in their seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants are too
close to the airbag covers, they could be
injured if the airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or near
the airbag covers. Any object attached to
or placed on the front or side impact airbag
covers could interfere with the proper opera-
tion of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifica-
tion of the front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components or side impact
airbags.
oDo not place items under the front seats.
Placing items under the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the supple-
mental restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your lap.
The infant or child could be seriously injured
or killed in the event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or seat belts
in the rear seat.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
o Always sit upright, fully back in the seat,
with your seat belt on, and your feet on
the floor.Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.If you modify your vehicle by changing your
vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or
side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect
the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.
