Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of theairbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panelsurface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instrumentpanel or air ventilator), it may dam- age these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak ontothese areas, wash them with water immediately.B240B01MCR

o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS is not working properly,(1) The SRS SRI does not come on when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position or after the engine is started.
(2) The SRS SRI blinks for a sec- ond and remains on after illu-minating for about 6 secondswhen the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started.
(3) The SRS SRI illuminates while driving.
If this occurs, have your vehicleimmediately 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 ignitionkey. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate. B990B01MC-AAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front pas- senger with additional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. Theside impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash se-verity, angle, speed and point of im- pact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impactsituations.

!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 andyourself.
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 the supplemental side impact airbaginflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact airbagthat may result in personal in- jury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignitionkey is on.
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. There-fore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy onlyin certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause signifi- cant injury to the vehicle occu-pants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploy- ing side impact airbag, both frontseat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver'shands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger'sarms and hands should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
B990C01JM-DAT Curtain Airbag (If Installed)
Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.It is designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain sideimpact collisions. The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash se- verity, angle, speed and impact. Thecurtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations, collisions from the front or rear of thevehicle or in most rollover situations. B990C01MC

o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag deployment zones, as this may impair the operation of the system or throw parts of them intothe vehicle cabin causing injury to occupants if the system is de- ployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Curtain Airbag system, any work,removal or installation of theairbag and associated compo- nents (such as roof lining and side trims) should only be performedby a qualified vehicle repairer.
WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints, always refer to "Child RestraintSystem" section to ensure correct installation and that occupant pro- tection is maximised.
o Make sure that the occupant does
not have any body parts (head,arms & legs) protruding outside the restraining system. If an inflat- ing airbag was to strike an infantor child, it may cause serious in- jury.
o Ensure the opening for the Cur- tain Airbag System remains unob-structed at all times, so that the airbags can inflate properly ifneeded.
Important Safety Notes for Cur- tain Airbag Systems Following are a number of safety points concerning this system which shouldalways be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident.
o The built in coat hooks should
only be used for light weight cloth- ing, ensure that pockets are free of any heavy or sharp objects. When using coat hooks, do not hangclothes on coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant
and the curtain airbag must neverbe occupied by children, passen- gers or pets. Occupants should never lean out or have any parts oftheir body protruding from the window whilst the engine is run- ning.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover the side window if there isan item attached to it such asgarage door remote control, pens, air fresheners or the like. These objects may cause injury if theCurtain Airbag is deployed.
o Do not install sun blinds to the
rear doors, these must not ob-struct or impair the airbag in any way.

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRSperformance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or clean-ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploy- ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorised Hyundaidealer.
