!WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be re-placed after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem- bly mechanisms become hot dur- ing activation. Do not touch thepre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner. o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, andfailure to heed the warnings to notstrike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead toimproper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve- hicle.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected withthe pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for ap-proximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it shouldturn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbagsystem. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or ifit illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an au- thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag system as soon as possible.!

41DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
B240A01A-AAT (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual- stage Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG"embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glovebox. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec- B240A03A
Driver's Airbag
!WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
NOTE:
o Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor andin the glove box.
o Dual-stage inflating airbags are
combined with pre-tensioner seatbelts to help provided enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front airbags are not in-tended to deploy in light colli- sions in which protection can be provided by the pre-tensioner seatbelt.
tion than that offered by the seat-beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. The Dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather information about the driver's and front passenger's seatposition, the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage and im- pact severity.The driver's and front passenger's seat position sensors determine if the seats are fore or aft of a reference position.Similarly, the seat belt usage sensors determine if the driver and front passenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment's pressure based on how close the driver's seat isto the steering wheel, how close the passenger's seat is to the instrument panel and whether or not the seat beltsare fastened. The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. A lower pressure levelis provided for moderate-severity im- pacts. A higher-pressure level is pro- vided for more severe impacts.

B240B03A-GAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Pre-tensioner seat belt
- Front impact sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage sensors
- Driver's and front passenger's seat position sensors
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
B240B01L Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expansion 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 slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.
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. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after whichthe SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.

45SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
B990B04Y-AAT (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity,angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
B990B02Y!
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deployingside impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an up- right position with the seat beltproperly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed on 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 impactairbag.
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.
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and thepassenger's seat belt systems andis not a substitute for them. There- fore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. The airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause signifi-cant injury to the vehicle occu- pants.

B240C02Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safelyservice by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer 10 years after thedate that the vehicle was manufac- tured. 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.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such ob- jects may become dangerous pro- jectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal injury, avoid impact to the side impactairbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
