The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-
ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-
mation 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
track position sensors (If Installed), which
are installed on the seat track, determine
if the seats are fore or aft of a reference
position. The seat belt buckle sensors
determine if the driver and front
passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con-
trol 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 the impact is.The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation within two lev-
els. 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.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the front
passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-
sification System" later in this section.
B240A03NF-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front
AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced Supplemental Restraint (Airbag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating positions.
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
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box.Driver's Front Airbag

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 airbag deploy-
ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-
ment.
The SRS "AIR BAG" warning light 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 "AIR BAG" warn-
ing light should go out.
B240B01L
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.
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 suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of the
vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
front airbags.
B240B02L
A fully inflated airbag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
or the passenger's forward motion, re-
ducing 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.

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 mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain 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 avoid
being injured by the deploying side
impact airbag, both front seat occu-
pants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. 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 sys-
tem.

Side impact sensor
Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Airbag 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.
!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
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 front
door and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the supplemental
side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid im-
pact to the side impact sensor when
the ignition key is on.

B240C02NF-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS "AIR BAG"
warning light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
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 technician. Im-
proper handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Airbag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the airbag
and associated components (such
as roof lining and side trims) should
only be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat po-
sition.
A child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. The infant
or child could be severely injured by
an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
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 SRS perfor-
mance and lead to possible injury.
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 sys-
tem.
