NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated alone or, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, to- gether with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may bevisible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operat- ing conditions and are not haz-ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly afteran accident in which the pre- tensioner seat belts were activated. CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRSairbag warning light on the instrument panel will come on for approximately 6 seconds af-ter the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if the SRS system is not functioning. If the SRS airbag warning light doesnot illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it re- mains illuminated after comingfor approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have aHyundai authorised repairer in- spect the pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag system as soon aspossible.

o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, replace,service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
!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 as- sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt as-semblies for several minutes af- ter they have been activated.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver or the front passen-ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficientseverity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe front side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental 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 timeswhilst the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severeenough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.o The SRS is designed to deploy theairbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not normally deployin frontal crashes below the de- ployment threshold speed. Rear impact

B240A01GK-EAT Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em-bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the front passenger's panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in thecentre of the steering wheel and the front passenger's panel above the glove box.Driver's Airbag

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will illumi-nate for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started,after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the centre 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. B240B02L-RB240B03GK-EAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following com- ponents: - Driver's Side Airbag Module - Passenger's Side Airbag Module - SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to requireairbag deployment.B240B01L-R
o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided attheir seating position to minimise the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to the airbag whilst the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupant isout of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupantcausing serious or fatal injuries.

Passenger's Airbag
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head andchest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility. B240B03L-R

CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any acces- sories (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box in the vehicle with passenger's airbag. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's airbag inflates.
o When installing a container of liq-
uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster not on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instru-ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener doesleak 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 thevehicle. These conditions are nor- mal and are not hazardous. How- ever, the fine dust generated dur-ing airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughlywith lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed. B240B05L-R

o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS is not working properly,(1) The SRS SRI does not come on when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position or after the engine is started.
(2) The SRS SRI blinks for a sec- ond and remains on after illu-minating for approximately 6seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started.
(3) The SRS SRI illuminates whilst driving.
If this occurs, have your vehicleimmediately inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
B990B01MC-EAT Side Impact Airbag (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. Thepurpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt alone. The side impact 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 todeploy in all side impact situations.

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.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the frontdoor 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.!
Important Safety Notes on the Side Impact Airbag system This page and the following page detail a number of safety points concerningthis system which should always be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident. 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 whilst 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.
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoidbeing injured by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seatoccupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt prop- erly fastened. The driver's handsshould be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's armsand hands should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
