WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around.

NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air
bags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated 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 passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition key has
been turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illumi-
nated 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
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the advanced SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be work correctly
and adjusted to the proper position
(see pages 1-30 and 1-31). Please
read and follow all of the important
information and precautions about
your vehicle’s occupant safety fea-
tures – including seat belts and ad-
vanced air bags – that are provided in

CAUTION:
If the seat position sensor is not working
properly, the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunction of the
SRS air bag system, because the SRS
air bag warning light is connected with
the seat position sensor. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, if it remains illuminated
after coming on for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle
is being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the seat position
sensor and the advanced SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat position
sensor and cause the air bag to de-
ploy 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 sys-
tem.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seats. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the
backside of the sun visor and in the
glove box.
o Advanced air bags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front air bags are
not intended to deploy in light colli-
sions in which protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

BAG

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI48
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on the steer-
ing 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.
o 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 pro-
tection in subsequent collisions.
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 air bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
o 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.
o 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.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding 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 unnecessarily close
to the air bag 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 up-
right in their seats with their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.

o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. You
and your passengers 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.
WARNING:
o Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, air bags
will not deploy in frontal crashes be-
low the deployment threshold.

WARNING:
o The SRS air bag 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
air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal in-
juries.
o Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards, side
steps or replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air bag
deployment performance.
B240B01CM-AATSRS Components and FunctionsThe SRS consists of the following compo-
nents:
1. Driver's Air bag Module

Belt Usage Sensors
12. SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
13. SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
The 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 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.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place
it near the instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface. 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.
!Passenger's Air bag

WARNING:
o If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated dur-
ing air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons. Al-
ways wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.Passenger's Air bag

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate or
continuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" po-
sition, or after the engine is started,
illuminates while driving, the SRS is
not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position or
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.

When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the passenger air bag off
indicator is on, turn the ignition key to
"LOCK" and ask the passenger to sit prop-
erly (sitting upright with the seat back in an
upright position, centered on the seat cush-
ion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor). Re-
start the engine and have the person re-
main in that position for about 40 seconds.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger air
bag. If the passenger air bag off indicator
is still on, turn the ignition key to "LOCK"
and ask the passenger to sit properly and
restart the engine again. If the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is still on, ask
the passenger to move to the rear seat.Proper seating position
