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 activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the
airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be activated
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 passenger com-
partment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
!
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
3. Be sure you and your passengers always
wear seat belts and wear then properly.
!
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts 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 activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes 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
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
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 igni-
tion key has been turned to the "ON"
position, and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, this warning light will illu-
minate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON" or if it remains illuminated after
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-
nates while the vehicle is being driven,
please have an authorized Hyundai dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and
SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
!
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
your hands and face thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.

The SRS uses sensors to gather information
about the driver's and front passenger's seat
position, the driver's and front passenger's seat
belt usage and impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat track
position sensors, which are installed on the seat
track, determine if the seats are fore or aft of a
reference position. The seat belt buckle sen-
sors determine if the driver and front passenger's
seat belts are fastened. These sensors provide
the ability to control the SRS deployment based
on how close the driver's seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger's seat is to the
instrument panel, whether or not the seat belts
are fastened, and how severe 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 posi-
tion 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.
ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)B240A01O-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an advanced
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 installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel above the glove box. 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.
B240A01O
Driver's Airbag
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.

CAUTION:
If a seat track position sensor or an occu-
pant classification system is not working
properly, the SRS airbag warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate be-
cause the SRS airbag warning light is con-
nected with the seat track position sensor
and the occupant classification system. If
the SRS airbag warning light does not illu-
minate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illuminated af-
ter approximately 6 seconds 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
inspect the seat track position sensor and
the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as
possible.

BAG
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 condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-
cation System" later in this section.
!
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to the
driver's and the passenger's three point
seat belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore, your seat belts must
be worn at all times. The airbags deploy
only in certain frontal impact conditions
severe enough to cause significant in-
jury to the vehicle occupants.
o Sitting too close to a front airbag can
result in serious or fatal injury if the front
airbags inflate. Always sit as far back
from airbags as possible.
o Ignoring the SRS airbag warning light
can result in serious or fatal injury if the
airbags, occupant classification system
or pre-tensioners do not work properly.
Have your car checked by a dealer as soon
as possible if the SRS airbag warning
light alerts you to a potential problem.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the front
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact angle
is less than 30° from the forward longi-
tudinal axis of the vehicle. The front
airbags will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once. Seat belts
must be worn at all times.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track position
sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at
a different level than should be pro-
vided.
o Do not place any objects underneath the
front seats as they could damage the
seat track position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
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 in the front
of the sun visor and in the glove box.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in fron-
tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-
tended to deploy in collisions in which
sufficient protection can be provided by
the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please

WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
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 re-
placed 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 inopera-
tive.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint sys-
tem 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 deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teen-
agers 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 includ-
ing the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious or fatal injury in a crash.
All occupants should sit upright with
the seat back in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor until the ve-
hicle 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 occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.
!
WARNING:
!
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close
to the airbag, it can cause death or seri-
ous injury when it inflates.
WARNING:
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes. In addition, front airbags will
not deploy in frontal crashes below the
deployment threshold.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-
sure from the expansion of the airbags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full inflation of
the airbags. The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough to
require airbag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will illuminate for about 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
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.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re-
leased throughout the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous. However, the fine dust generat-
ed 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.Passenger's Airbag

A fully inflated airbag, in combination with a
properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the
passenger's forward motion, reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility, and the ability to steer or
operate other controls.
