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
2. Front Impact Sensor
3. Passenger's Air bag Module
4. Passenger Air bag Off Indicator
(Front passenger's seat only)
5. Occupant Classification System
(Front passenger's seat only)
6. Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
7. Driver's Seat Position Sensors
8. Side Impact Sensor
9. Curtain Air bag
OCM026200A
10. Driver's and Front Passenger's Side
Air bag
11. Driver's and Front Passenger's Seat
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.

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

WARNING:
o Do not do any of the following. Placing
weight on the front passenger's seat
or sitting incorrectly adversely af-
fects occupant classification system
operation.
WARNING:
Riding in an improper position or placing
weight on the front passenger's seat
when it is unoccupied by a passenger
adversely affects the occupant classifi-
cation system (OCS).

NOTE:The passenger 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 10 seconds after the igni-
tion is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal air
bag system senses less weight than
if the occupant were seated 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).
o This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the passenger air bag
off indicator.
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the passenger air
bag off indicator is illuminated, because
the air bag will not deploy in the event of
a crash. If the passenger air bag off
indicator remains illuminated after the
passenger repositions themselves prop-
erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai
recommends that passenger move to
the rear seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
!
CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front air bags 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 illuminate and the
passenger's front air bags will not inflate
in frontal impact crashes even if there is
adult occupant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, remains
illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds 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 classification system and the
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

B990C02JM-AATCurtain Air bagCurtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and the
rear outboard seat occupants in certain
side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to de-
ploy only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact. The curtain air
bags are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations, collisions from the front
or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.

!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact air bag.
o Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your-
self.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side
impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact air bag that may
result in personal injury, avoid impact
to the side impact sensor when the
ignition key is on.

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 air bag was
to strike an infant child on the head, it
may cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Curtain Air
Bag System remains unobstructed
at all times, so that the air bags can
inflate properly if needed.Important Safety Notes for Curtain
Air Bag SystemsFollowing are a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
