WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every time,
everyone! Air bags inflate with con-
siderable force and in the blink of
an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-
pants in proper position to obtain
maximum benefit from the air bag.
Even with advanced air bags,
improperly and unbelted occupants
can be severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, air bags
and occupant safety contained in
this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries and receive the maxi-
mum safety benefit from your
restraint system:
 Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat (see
child restraints 3-71).
 ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to
ride.
 Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
 Never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the front or side air bags
 Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
 Do not allow a passenger to ride
in the front seat when the “PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
is illuminated, because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of
a moderate or severe frontal
crash.
 Never place objects over or near
any air bag module (front or side
impact air bags), because these
objects can injure passengers in
a crash.
 Never place covers, blankets or
aftermarket seat warmers on the
passenger seat as these may
interfere with the occupant classi-
fication system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not tamper or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components.
Injuries could result from inadver-
tent deployment or failure of the
air bag to deploy in a crash.
 If the SRS air bag warning light
(see page 3-119) remains illumi-
nated while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the air
bag system as soon as possible.
 Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai deal-
er replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
 The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitu-
dinal axis of the vehicle. The front
air bags will not deploy in side,
rear or rollover impacts.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
(Continued)

Features of your vehicle82 3(Continued)
 Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. You and your passen-
gers should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned driv-
ers and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating air
bags.
 No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag 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
air bags to deploy.
 If the air bags deploy, they must
be replaced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. Deployed air
bags WILL NOT inflate again and
will provide no protection in sub-
sequent collisions.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental deployment of the air bags
or by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
 Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant clas-
sification system, do not install a
child restraint system 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 air bag deployment
in case of an accident.
 Children younger than 13 years
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat. Never
allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If a child over 13
must be seated in the front seat,
he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.

SRS components and functionsThe SRS consists of the following com-
ponents:
1. Front Impact Sensors
2. "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
Indicator (Front passenger's seat only)
3. SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
4. Knee Bolster
5. Passenger's Air bag Module
6. Driver's Air bag Module
7. SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
8. Occupant Classification System
(Front passenger's seat only)
9. Driver's Seat Track Position Sensor
10. Driver's and Front Passenger's Seat
Belt Buckle Sensors
11. Side Impact Sensors
12. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies
13. Side Impact Air bag Modules
14. Curtain Air bag ModulesThe SRSCM continually monitors all ele-
ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter-
mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is
severe enough to require air bag deploy-
ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-
ment.
The SRS "AIR BAG" warning light 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 "AIR BAG" warn-
ing light should go out.
(Continued)
 For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
whether or not an air bag 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 unneces-
sarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.
 Sitting improperly or out of posi-
tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
 The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu-
pant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.

Features of your vehicle84 3The air bag 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 air bags.Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the air bags.A fully inflated air bag, 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 air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con-
trols.

CAUTION
 Do not install or place any acces-
sories (drink holder, cassette
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box in a vehicle with a pas-
senger's air bag. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
 When installing a container of liq-
uid air freshener inside the vehi-
cle, do not place it near the instru-
ment cluster nor on the instru-
ment panel surface.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If there is any leakage from the air
freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument
panel or air ventilator), it may
damage these parts. If the liquid
from the air freshener does leak
onto these areas, wash them with
water immediately.
WARNING
 If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle.
These conditions are normal and
are not hazardous - the air bags
are packed in this fine powder.
The dust generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin or
eye irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with lukewarm
water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags
were deployed.

Occupant classification systemYour vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
The driver's front air bag is not affected
or controlled by the occupant classifica-
tion system.If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to
be of adult size, 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 com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will be turned off and the front
passenger's air bag will be able to inflate,
if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
This system detects the conditions 1~4
in the following table and activates or
deactivates front passenger air bags
based on these conditions.
(Continued)
 The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"
position. If the SRS "AIR BAG"
warning light does not illuminate,
or continuously remains on after
illuminating for about 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or after the
engine is started, comes on while
driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by
your Hyundai dealer.
 Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition key to the "LOCK"
position and remove the ignition
key. 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 "AIR BAG"
warning light to illuminate.

*1) The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in
the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child depending
on his/her physique and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a larger child who
has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system
may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position or
placing weight on the front passen-
ger's seat when it is unoccupied by
a passenger adversely affects the
occupant classification system
(OCS).
