could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older)must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi- tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupantis out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in- juries.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi-tion, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact issufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times. o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintainingcontrol of the vehicle. If you aresitting 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 onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object couldcause 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 authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.
o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child

The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's 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-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01FC-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
B240B02L
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey 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 center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.

!WARNING:
o The driver is responsible for the proper position of the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch.
o Deactivate the front passenger's airbag only when the ignitionswitch is switched off, or the mal-function may occur in the SRSCM (SRS Control Module). And there may be a danger that the driver'sand/or passenger's front and/or side airbag may fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly during a col- lision.
o Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passenger'sseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
! CAUTION:
o If the passenger's front airbag ON/ OFF switch is not working prop- erly, the SRS warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate. If this occurs, have an authorizedHyundai dealer inspect the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch, the pre-tensioner seat beltsystem and the SRS airbag sys- tem as soon as possible.
B240C01NF o If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to the "ON"position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer in-spect the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch, pre-tensioner seat belt and the SRS airbag system assoon as possible.

B740A01A-AAT AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH (If Installed)
B730A01FC-GAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at "Recircula- tion". Be sure to return the control to"Fresh" when the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in the ve- hicle. This will help keep the driveralert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles justahead of the windshield. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other ob-structions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control tothe fresh air ( ) position and fan speed to the desired position.
To remove the frost or exterior fog on the windshield:
o Set the air intake control to the fresh
( ) position.
o Set the air flow control to the defrost ( ) position
o Set the temperature control to warm.
o Set the fan speed control to position
"3" or "4".
NOTE: When the A/C is operated continu- ously on the floor-defrost level ( ) or defrost level ( ), it may cause fog to form on the exterior wind-shield. If this occurs, set the air flow control to the face level posi- tion ( ) and fan speed control tothe low position. The air conditioning is turned on by pushing the A/C button on the heating/ air conditioning control panel.

C130A01A-AAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sud- den stop, such objects could moveforward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicatorlight is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brak-

C090P01A-GAT Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and overdrive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off,the transaxle will not upshift to the over- drive gear. For normal driving, the selec- tor lever should be left in the "D" positionand the overdrive switch turned on.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and back-ward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are any- where near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move for- ward of backward as it becomesunstuck, causing injury or dam- age to nearby people or objects.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, pressthe accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transaxle will automaticallyshift to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed and load.
