ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
(SRS)B240A03E-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced Supplemental Restraint (Airbag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating position.
The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed
on the airbag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front panel
pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in-
stalled under the pad covers in the center
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.
B240A01JM
Driver's Airbag
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 and front passenger'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, how close the passenger's
seat is to the instrument panel, whether or
not the seat belts are fastened, and how
severe is the impact.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag 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, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls the
airbag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.
CAUTION:
If the seat position sensor is not working
properly, the SRS airbag warning light
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunction of the
SRS airbag system, because the SRS
airbag warning light is connected with
the seat position sensor. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, if it remains illuminated after
coming on for approximately 6 seconds,
or if it illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the seat position sensor
and the advanced SRS airbag system as
soon as possible.
!AIR
BAGAdditionally, 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
airbag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see "Occupant Classification Sys-
tem" later in this section.

WARNING:
o Airbags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the airbag immediately after deploy-
ment.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front airbags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the im-
pact angle is less than 30° from the
forward longitudinal axis of the ve-
hicle. The front airbags will not deploy
in side, rear or rollover impacts. Addi-
tionally, the airbags will only deploy
once. Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
!
WARNING:
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, airbags
will not deploy in frontal crashes be-
low the deployment threshold.
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. You
and your passengers should never
sit or lean unnecessarily close to the
airbags. Improperly positioned driv-
ers and passengers can be severely
injured by inflating airbags.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag 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
airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer. Deployed airbags 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 airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, 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 airbag deploy-
ment 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.

WARNING:

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI38
A fully inflated airbag, 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 airbag 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
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags.
B240B02L
The airbag 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 sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front airbags.

!
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal injury.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, don't
try to start the engine; have the car
towed to an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the
bumper guard with the one other than
the Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise,
it can adversely affect SRS perfor-
mance and lead to an increased risk
of injury.
WARNING:
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 system.
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag 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
airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
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 inflation of
the airbags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.

WARNING:
!
WARNING:
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 airbag deployment in
case of an accident.
o Modification to SRS components or
wir-ing, 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.B240C02JM-AATSRS Careo The SRS is virtually maintenance free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS SRI (Ser-
vice Reminder Indicator) does not illu-
minate, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o 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 airbag
system may result in serious personal
injury.
