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.
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 seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS airbag
is connected with the pre-tensioner seat
belts. 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 illuminates 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.

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 belt may be activated with
or without airbag activation, depending
on the circumstances of a collision. The
pre-tensioners will be activated even 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.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash
all exposed skin areas thoroughly after
an accident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.

ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)B240A02E-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.
B240A01JM
Driver's AirbagThe SRS uses a collection of 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 sever-
ity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat position
sensors, which are installed on the seat track,
determine if the seats are fore or aft of a
reference position. Similarly, the seat belt usage
sensors 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 is the impact.
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.
CAUTION:
If the seat position sensor is not working
properly, the SRS airbag warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag
system, because the SRS airbag warning
light is connected with the seat position
sensor. If the SRS airbag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, if it remains
illuminated after coming on for approxi-
mately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer inspect the seat posi-
tion sensor and the advanced SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.

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:
Always use seat belts and child restraints –
every trip, every time, everyone! Airbags
inflate with considerable force and in the
blink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-
pants in proper position to obtain maxi-
mum benefit from the airbag. Even with
advanced airbags, improperly and unbelted
occupants can be severely injured when
the airbag inflates. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, airbags and oc-
cupant safety contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries and receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint system:
o Never place a child in any child or booster
seat in the front seat (see child restraints
1-25).
o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the
back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride.
o Front and side impact airbags can injure
occupants improperly positioned in the
front seats
o Move your seat as far back as practical
from the front airbags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the front or side airbags
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat position 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 which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere with the
occupant classification system.
o Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seats.
These may cause a malfunction of the
seat position sensor.NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side 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 light collisions in
which protection can be provided by the
pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assis-
tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright posi-
tion.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the “Passenger
Airbag OFF” indicator is illuminated,
because the airbag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe frontal
crash.
o Never place objects over or near any
airbag module (front or side impact
airbags), because these objects can in-
jure passengers in a crash
o Never place covers, blankets or after-
market seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with the
occupant classification system
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiring
or other components. Injuries could
result from inadvertent deployment or
failure of the airbag to deploy in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg 1-
48) remains illuminated while the vehicle
is being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the airbag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
o Airbags can only be used once – have an
authorized Hyundai dealer replace the
airbag immediately after deployment.
WARNING:

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI36
!
WARNING:
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.

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.

NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
illuminates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position
or after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occupant
classification sensor will then classify the
front passenger after several more sec-
onds.
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
airbags are connected with the occupant
classification system. If there is a malfunc-
tion of the occupant classification system,
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
will illuminate and the passenger's front
airbags will not inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is adult occupant in
the front passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate 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 autho-
rized Hyundai dealer inspect the occupant
classification system and the SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification sys-
tem, never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat. A deploy-
ing airbag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or death.
Any child under 13 years of age should
ride in the rear seat. Children too large
for child restraints should use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. No matter what
type of crash, children of all ages are
safer when restrained in the rear seat.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an adult
and he/she sits properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), have that
person sit in the rear seat.
o Do not modify or replace the front pas-
senger seat. Don't place anything on or
attach anything such as a blanket or
after market seat heater to the front
passenger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification system.
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in
the front seat when the “PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, be-
cause the airbag will not deploy in the event
of a crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions themselves prop-
erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai recom-
mends that passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front airbag will
not deploy.
Front seat passengers must stay properly
seated to avoid serious injury from a de-
ploying airbag. For more information see
page 1-38.

WARNING:
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Your seat belts must be worn at all
times while the vehicle is in motion. The
airbags deploy only in certain side im-
pact conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
o For best protection from the side impact
airbag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side impact airbag,
!
HTB072
Side airbag
sensorboth front seat occupants should sit in
an upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on or near
the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury
if the supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of
the side impact air bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the side
airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
B990C01LZ-GATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags are located along both sides of
the roof rails above the front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of
the front seat occupants and the rear outboard
seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact.
The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
