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.

B090A02TG-AATFront Power SeatsThe front seats can be adjusted appropri-
ately by using the control knob on the seat.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so as to easily control the steering
wheel, pedals and switches on the instru-
ment panel.
CAUTION:
Do not operate two knobs at the same
time.
WARNING:
o Never adjust a driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. Any sudden or
unexpected movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle resulting in an accident. Only
adjust the driver’s seat when the ve-
hicle is stationary.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag. Position the seat so that
you can sit as far back as possible
from the air bag and still comfortably
reach all controls.

The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver's and
front passenger's seat position, the driver's
and front passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver's seat position sensors, which
are installed on the seat track, determine
if the seats are fore or aft of a reference
position. Similarly, the seat belt usage
sensors determine if the driver and front
passenger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the
driver's seat is to the steering wheel,
whether or not the seat belts are fastened,
and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two levels.
A first stage level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A second stage level is
provided for more severe impacts.According to the impact severity, driver's
seating position, the SRSCM(SRS Con-
trol Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the presence
of a passenger in the front passenger's
seat and will turn off the front passenger's
air bag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant Classification Sys-
tem" later in this section.
DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAGB240A02CM-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced Supplemental Restraint (Air bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating positions.
The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed
on the air bag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front panel
pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the cen-
ter of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system alone,
in case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.

WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag 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 air
bags to deploy.
o If the air bags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer. Deployed air bags WILL NOT
inflate again and will provide no pro-
tection in subsequent collisions.
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 deployment
of the air bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
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 or
killed by an air bag deployment in
case of an accident.
o Children younger than 13 years must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If a child
over 13 must be seated in the front
seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants in-
cluding the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air
bag is also provided at their seating
position to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag while the vehicle is in
motion.
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit up-
right in their seats with their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.

o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. You
and your passengers should never
sit or lean unnecessarily close to the
air bags. Improperly positioned driv-
ers and passengers can be severely
injured by inflating air bags.
WARNING:
o Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, air bags
will not deploy in frontal crashes be-
low the deployment threshold.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
or the passenger's forward motion, reduc-
ing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag imme-
diately starts deflating, enabling the driver
to maintain forward visibility, and the abil-
ity to steer or operate other controls.
B240B03L
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.
B240B02L
The air bag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box. When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of the
vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
front air bags.

B990B03MC-AATSide Impact Air bagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The
purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger
with additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone. The side impact air
bags are designed to deploy only during
certain side-impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side impact air bags
are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.

Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Air bag SystemFollowing 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.
WARNING:
o The side impact air bag is supplemen-
tal to the driver's and the passenger's
seat belt systems and is not a substi-
tute for them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times while
the vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side impact
conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
o For best protection from the side im-
pact air bag system and to avoid be-
ing injured by the deploying side im-
pact air bag, both front seat occu-
pants should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and
3:00 positions. The passenger's arms
and hands should be placed on their
laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat cov-
ers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the airbag
system.
