severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If older chil-dren (teenagers and older) mustride in the front seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back asfar as possible.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi- tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupantis out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal inju- ries.o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.

1- 38 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening ofthe covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. HTB204
Passenger's Airbag

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.B240B03L

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrumentcluster nor on the instrument panel pad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instru- ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq-uid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thor-oughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.Passenger's Airbag

!CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accesso- ries (drink holder, cassette holder,sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a ve- hicle with passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously re-mains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If thisoccurs, have your vehicle imme- diately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi- tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.

B990A01TB
The passenger's front airbag can be deactivated by the passenger's frontairbag ON/OFF switch (1) if a child restraint is installed on the front passenger's seat or if the frontpassenger's seat is unoccupied by a person. To ensure the safety of your child, thepassenger's front airbag must be deac- tivated when it should be necessary to install a rearward facing child seat onthe front passenger seat in exceptional circumstances. (1)
To deactivate or reactivate the passenger's front airbag To deactivate the passenger's front airbag, insert the master key into the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switchon the right side of the crash pad and
turn it to the "OFF" position. The passenger's front airbag OFF indicatorwill illuminate and stay on until the passenger's front airbag is reactivated. To reactivate the passenger's front airbag, insert the master key into the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switchand turn it to the "ON" position. The passenger's front airbag OFF indicator will go out.
!WARNING:
The front air bag ON/OFF switch could turn by using a similar small rigid device. Always check the statusof the front air bag ON/OFF switch and passenger's front air Warning bag OFF indicator.

!WARNING:
o The driver is responsible for the proper position of the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch.
o Deactivate the front passenger's airbag only when the ignition switchis switched off, or the malfunction may occur in the SRSCM (SRSControl Module). And there may be a danger that the driver's and/or passenger's front and/or side airbagmay fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly during a collision.
o Never install a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger'sseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Even though your vehicle isequipped with the passenger's airbag ON/OFF switch, do not in- stall a child restraint system in thefront passenger's seat. A child re- straint system must never be placed in the front seat. Childrenwho are too large for child re- straint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use theavailable lap/shoulder belts. Children are afforded the most safety in the event of an accidentwhen they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
o As soon as deactivation is no longer needed, reactivate the frontpassenger's airbag. B990B01TG-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger withadditional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

B240C01Y-GAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. The entire SRSsystem must be inspected by an au- thorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years after the date that the vehicle wasmanufactured. 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 tech-nician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personal injury.
The airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoidbeing injured by the deployingside impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an up- right position with the seat beltproperly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on
the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and yourself. o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the frontdoor and the front seat. Such ob- jects may become dangerous pro- jectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal injury, avoid impact to the side airbagsensor when the ignition key is on.
