WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti-
vation, 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.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be done
by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-ten-sioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious injury.
Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehi-
cle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, con-tact an authorised Hyundai deal-
er.CAUTION
Because the sensor that activates
the SRS air bag is connected withthe pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it
should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is
no malfunction of the SRS air bag.If the SRS air bag warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to "ON", or if it
remains illuminated after illumi-nating for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, please
have an authorised Hyundai deal-er inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air bag system assoon as possible.

SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
1. Front Impact Sensors
2. SRS Air Bag Warning Light*
3. Passenger's Air bag Module*
4. Driver's Air Bag Module
5. SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
6. Side Impact Sensors*
7. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies*
8. Side Air Bag Modules*
9. Curtain Air Bag Modules** If equippedThe SRSCM continually monitors all ele-
ments while the ignition switch is ON to
determine if a frontal or near-frontal
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, after which the
air bag warning light should go out.
The air bag modules are located both in
the centre 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.

WARNING
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
instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface.
It may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

Rear impact
Side impact
Rollover
(Continued)
No objects should be placed overor 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.
Never place covers, blankets or aftermarket seat warmers on the
passenger seat as these may
interfere with the side air bag
deployment.
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.
If the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have anauthorised Hyundai dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
Air bags can only be used once –have an authorised Hyundai deal-
er replace the air bag immediate-
ly after deployment.
The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when the impact
is sufficiently severe and when
the impact is in the front or
frontal angle of the vehicle, and
will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once.
Thus, seat belts must be worn atall times.
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.

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest to both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. We strongly urge
you to open your doors and/or win-
dows as soon as possible after impact
in order to reduce discomfort and pre-
vent prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with the cold waterimmediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.
Installing a child restraint on a front
passenger’s seat is forbidden
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.

WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in steering wheeland/or instrument panel and/or in
both sides of the roof rails above
the front and rear doors are very
hot. To prevent injury, do not touch
the air bag storage areas internal
components immediately after an
air bag has inflated.
