o Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn the 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.!WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your hands and face thoroughly withlukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously re- mains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundaidealer. B990B04Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)
The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designedto deploy only during certain side im- pact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

o Never use an infant carrier or child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide ad- equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms whilst they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re-sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases. B230F01A-EAT Installation on Rear Seat Centre Position Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. After installation of the child restraint system, rock the child seatback and forth, and side to side to ensure that it is properly secured by the seat belt.If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child restraint tether straphook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer’s recommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-vate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in the illustration.

2.Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3.SRS control module WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from apre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position. NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated under these conditions even if the seatbelts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be vis-ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazard-ous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation andshould not be breathed for pro- longed periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRA- INT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
HFC1073
Driver's Airbag
B240A02F-EAT 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 passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbagsinstalled under the pad covers in thecentre of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the reverse 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 andthe passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all times whilst the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy onlyin certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the ve-hicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axisof the 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.
