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.

CAUTION:
If a seat track position sensor or an
occupant classification system is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the SRS airbag
warning light is connected with the seat
track position sensor and the occupant
classification system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track posi-
tion sensor and cause the airbag to
deploy at a different level than should
be provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could damage
the seat track position sensor or in-
terfere with the occupant classifica-
tion system.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunction
of the seat track position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the
backside of the sun visor and in the
glove box.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in
which sufficient protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

WARNING:
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining con-
trol of the vehicle. If you are sitting too
close to the airbag, it can cause death
or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing 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 deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced 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 deployment
of the airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, 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 deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If older children
(teenagers and older) must ride in the
front seat, make sure they are always
properly belted and the seat is moved
back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an
airbag is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of
a crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-
sarily close to the airbag while the
vehicle is in motion.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit up-
right with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cush-
ion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is parked and
the ignition key is removed.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the oc-
cupant causing serious or fatal inju-

severe enough to require front airbag de-
ployment or pre-tensioner seat belt de-
ployment.
The SRS "AIRBAG" warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for ap-
proximately 6 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or after
the engine is started, after which the
"AIRBAG" warning light 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 a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front airbags.

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.

CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger's front airbag is connected
with the occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will illuminate and
the passenger's front airbag will not in-
flate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
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.
o If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat, the "PASS AIR BAG
OFF" indicator may be turned on or off
for a few seconds, disabling or en-
abling the passenger airbags.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
