WARNING:
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side airbags.
o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright
position.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “Pas-
senger Airbag OFF” indicator is illu-
minated, 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
injure passengers in a crash.
o Never place covers, blankets or after-
market seat warmers on the passen-
ger 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 deploy-
ment or failure of the airbag to deploy
in a crash.
!
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 occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the airbag.
Even with advanced airbags, improp-
erly and unbelted occupants can be se-
verely injured when the airbag inflates.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety con-
tained 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 1-34).
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 posi-
tioned in the front seats.o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg
1-70) remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer inspect the
airbag system as soon as possible.
o Airbags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the airbag immediately after deploy-
ment.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front airbags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the im-
pact angle is within a range as mea-
sured from the forward longitudinal
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.

!
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit up-
right with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cush-
ion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle 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 oc-
cupant causing serious or fatal inju-
ries.

severe enough to require front airbag de-
ployment or pre-tensioner seat belt de-
ployment.
The SRS "AIRBAG" warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for ap-
proximately 6 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or after
the engine is started, after which the
"AIRBAG" warning light should go out.

B990A02TG-AATOCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYS-
TEMYour vehicle is equipped with an occupant
classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The Occupant Classification system is de-
signed to detect the presence of a prop-
erly-seated front passenger and deter-
mine if the passenger's front airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not. The driver's
front airbag is not affected or controlled by
the Occupant Classification system.
If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size sitting 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), the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will be turned off and
the front passenger's airbag will be able to
inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASS AIR BAG OFF"
indicator on the center facia panel. The
following table summarizes the function-
ing of the system depending on the front
passenger seat occupant.

!
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light does
not illuminate, or continuously re-
mains 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 prop-
erly. If this occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected 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 and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS "AIRBAG"
warning light to illuminate.
WARNING:

!
WARNING:
o Riding in an improper position or plac-
ing weight on the front passenger's
seat when it is unoccupied by a pas-
senger adversely affects the occu-
pant classification system (OCS).
*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 phy-
sique or posture.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat.

When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the "PASS 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 30 seconds.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger airbag.
If the "PASS 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 "PASS AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is still on, ask the passenger
to move to the rear seat.Proper seating position

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 airbag is connected
with the occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will illuminate and
the passenger's front airbag will not in-
flate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 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 occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification
system, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying airbag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious inju-
ries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear
seat. Children too large for child re-
straints should use the available lap/
shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
o If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.
!
NOTE:The "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 8 seconds after the ignition
is turned on. o The "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
will not change according to the occu-
pants posture after the vehicle has
been running for 30 seconds. Front
seat passengers must stay properly
seated to avoid serious injury from a
deploying airbag. For more informa-
tion see page 1-51.

WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints , al-
ways refer to the "Child Restraint
System" section to ensure correct
installation and occupant protection
is maximized.
o Make sure that the occupant does not
have any body parts (head, arms &
legs) protruding outside the restrain-
ing system. If an inflating airbag was
to strike an infant child on the head, it
may cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Curtain
Airbag System remains unobstructed
at all times, so that the airbags can
inflate properly if needed.Important Safety Notes for Curtain
Airbag SystemsFollowing is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
!
!
WARNING:
o The built in coat hooks should only be
used for light weight clothing. Ensure
that clothing pockets are free of any
heavy or sharp objects. When using
coat hooks, do not hang clothes on
coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant and
the curtain airbag must never be oc-
cupied by children, passengers or
pets. Occupants should never lean
out or have any parts of their body
protruding from the window while the
engine is running.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover
the side window if there is an item
attached to it such as garage door
remote control, pens, compact disc
pocket, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if the
Curtain Airbag is deployed.
o Where sun blinds are fitted to the rear
doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the airbag in any way.o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag
deployment zones, as this may im-
pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Airbag system, any work, removal
or installation of the airbag and asso-
ciated components (such as roof lin-
ing and side trims) should always be
performed by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
WARNING:

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI58
WARNING:
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 by
an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag 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
airbags to inflate.
!
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced 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 inflation of
the airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could in-
crease the risk of personal injury.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
!
WARNING:
B240C02NF-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
so there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS "AIRBAG" warning
light does not illuminate, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle immedi-
ately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the SRS system may result in
serious personal injury.
