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 "AIR
BAG" warning light to illuminate.
WARNING:
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 airbag will be able to inflate,
if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
The following table summarizes the func-
tioning of the system depending on the
front passenger seat occupant.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYS-
TEMYour vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The Occupant Classi-
fication system is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front pas-
senger and determine if the passenger's
front airbag should be enabled (may in-
flate) or not. The driver's front airbag is
not affected or controlled by the Occu-
pant Classification System.Main components of occupant clas-
sification systemo A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
o Electronic system to determine whether
passenger airbag systems (both front
and side) should be activated or deac-
tivated.
o A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-
ing the front passenger airbag system
is deactivated.
o The instrument panel airbag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI50
When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator is on, turn the ignition
key to "LOCK" and ask the passenger to
sit properly (sitting 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). Restart the engine and have
the person remain in that position for
about 30 seconds.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger
airbag. 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 "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.Proper seating position

*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 re-
straint system sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the system may recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/
her physique or posture, or objects in
the lap of the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat. Condition and operation in the front pas-

Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained prop-
erly (sitting upright with the seat in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person’s legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.
o The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center
console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front
of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger weight
on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seatback.

WARNING:
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 malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not illuminate
and the passenger's front airbags will
inflate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no 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 ap-
proximately 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.
NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator 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 pas-
senger within approximately 10 seconds
after the ignition is turned on.
!
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
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 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 "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting 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.

B240C02NF-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS "AIR BAG"
warning light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately 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. Im-
proper handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Airbag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the airbag
and associated components (such
as roof lining and side trims) should
only be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat po-
sition.
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 sys-
tem.

B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder Indi-
cator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will
come on and then go off in a few seconds.
If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on
while driving, or does not come on when
the key is turned to the "ON" position, this
indicates that there may be a problem
with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by your Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible. The normal braking system will still
be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system.
WARNING:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake
fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or
come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

not working properly. If the AIR BAG warn-
ing light does not come on, or continu-
ously remains on after operating for about
6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the
engine, or if it comes on while driving,
have the SRS inspected by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
