VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems that
help to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. These
systems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help to
control their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involve
components to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat belt
pretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner systems should be
deployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction
control and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult driving
situations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when
they need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crash
occurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of data
storage is done by devices called event data recorders(EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as the
Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may record
some information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This information
consists of data related to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seat
belt systems at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severity
occurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device that
stores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it with
others except:
o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, or
o with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee,
or
o as part of Hyundai’s defense of litigation, or
o as required by law.

CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS
airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition key has
been turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS airbag. If the SRS
airbag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illuminated
after approximately 6 seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
advanced SRS airbag system as soon
as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper-
ate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts and seat belt
buckles must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt or buckle assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger
with additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather informa-
tion about the driver's seat position, the
driver's and front passenger's seat belt
usage and impact severity.
The driver's seat track position sensor,
which is installed on the seat track, deter-
mines if the seat is fore or aft of a reference
position. The seat belt buckle sensors de-
termine if the driver and front passenger's
seat belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS de-
ployment based on how close the driver's
seat is to the steering wheel, whether or not
the seat belts are fastened, and how se-
vere the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation with two levels.
A first stage level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A second stage level is
provided for more severe impacts.According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls the
airbag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the presence
of a passenger in the front passenger's
seat and will turn off the front passenger's
airbag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant Classification Sys-
tem" later in this section.
B240A01TG-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front
AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced 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 glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in-
stalled under the pad covers in the center
of the steering wheel and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box.Driver's Front Airbag

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light does
not illuminate, or continuously re-
mains on after illuminating for about 6
seconds when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, or after
the engine is started, comes on while
driving, the SRS is not working prop-
erly. If this occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by your
Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS "AIRBAG"
warning light to illuminate. o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, do
not place it near the instrument clus-
ter nor on the instrument panel sur-
face. If there is any leakage from the
air freshener onto these areas (in-
strument cluster, instrument panel or
air ventilator), it may damage these
parts. If the liquid from the air fresh-
ener does leak onto these areas, wash
them with water immediately.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may
be a loud noise and fine dust will be
released throughout the vehicle.
These conditions are normal and are
not hazardous. However, the fine dust
generated during airbag deployment
may cause skin irritation. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly with
lukewarm water and a mild soap after
an accident in which the airbags were
deployed.
WARNING:
1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI52
*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 recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. When a larger child
who has outgrown a child restraint
system sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her phy-
sique or posture.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
B990A01TG-AATOCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYS-
TEMYour vehicle is equipped with an occupant
classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The Occupant Classification system is de-
signed to detect the presence of a prop-
erly-seated front passenger and deter-
mine if the passenger's front airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not. The driver's
front airbag is not affected or controlled by
the Occupant Classification system.
If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will be turned off and
the front passenger's airbag will be able to
inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASS AIR BAG OFF"
indicator on the center facia panel. The
following table summarizes the function-
ing of the system depending on the front
passenger seat occupant.

WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal airbag
system senses less weight than if the
occupant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor). This condition can result
in an adult potentially being
misclassified and illumination of the
"PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator.
- Never excessively recline the front
passenger seatback.
- Never sit with hips shifted towards
the front of the seat.
