WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in
a crash. All occupants should sit
upright with the seat back in an up-
right position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.
o The SRS airbag 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 airbag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing seri-
ous or fatal injuries.

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.

Passenger's Front Airbag

o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, do
not place it near the instrument clus-
ter nor on the instrument panel sur-
face. If there is any leakage from the
air freshener onto these areas (in-
strument cluster, instrument panel
or air ventilator), it may damage these
parts. If the liquid from the air fresh-
ener does leak onto these areas,
wash them with water immediately.
WARNING:
o If an airbag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These con-
ditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous - the airbags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust generated
during airbag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as ag-
gravate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
does not illuminate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating for
about 6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, or
after the engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by
your Hyundai dealer.
Passenger's Front Airbag
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a ve-
hicle with a passenger's airbag. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's airbag inflates.

o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS "AIR
BAG" warning light to illuminate.
WARNING:
The occupant classification system cre-
ates a field which is designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the
passenger's front air bag should be en-
abled (may inflate) or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or controlled
by the occupant classification system.Main components of occupant clas-
sification system• An Electronic Capacity measurement
system in the front passenger seat
which detects major characteristics of
a person or object on the seat.
Electronic system to determine whether
the passenger air bag systems (both
front and side) should be activated or
deactivated.
A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-
ing the front passenger air bag system
is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.
OMC029200N
Occupant classification systemYour vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of an appropriate size, and he/she sits
properly, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will be turned off and the
front passenger's air bag will be able to
inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes
(sitting properly means sitting upright with
the seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor).
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
This system detects the conditions 1~4 in
the following table and activates or deac-
tivates the front passenger air bag based
on these conditions.

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is on, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position and ask the
passenger to sit properly (sitting upright
with the seat back in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart the
engine and have the person remain in
that position for about 30 seconds. This
will allow the system to detect the person
and to enable the passenger air bag.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
!
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 illumi-
nated after the adult passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the car is
restarted, it is recommended that pas-
senger move to the rear seat because
the passenger's front air bag will not
deploy.
Front seat passengers must stay prop-
erly seated to avoid serious injury from
a deploying air bag.
NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position or after the engine is started.
If the front passenger seat is occupied,
the occupant classification sensor will
then classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.
Proper position
!
WARNING:
Do not put a heavy load or an active
electronic device (ex. laptop computer,
navigation etc..) in the front passenger
seatback pocket or on the front passen-
ger seat. Do not hang onto the front
passenger seat. Do not hang any items
such as seatback table on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place feet on
the front passenger seatback. Do not
place any items under the front passen-
ger seat. Any of these could interfere
with proper sensor operation.

!
WARNING:
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 bag is connected with the occu-
pant classification system. If there is a
malfunction of the occupant classifica-
tion system, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will not illuminate and the
passenger's front air bag will inflate in
frontal impact crashes even if there is no
occupant in the front passenger's seat.
If the SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, remains illu-
minated after approximately 6 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the occu-
pant classification system and the SRS
air bag system as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that chil-
dren are safer if they are restrained
in the rear, as opposed to the front
seat. It is recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat,
including an infant riding in a rear-
facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
o Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replace the air bag immediately after
deployment.
o The occupant classification system
may not work properly if water, cof-
fee or any other liquid including rain
gets on the seat. Keep the front seat
dry at all times.
o Do not place an electronic device
such as a laptop computer on the
front passenger seat. Its electronic
field may cause the OCS to switch to
the "on" condition and thus allow the
passenger airbag to deploy need-
lessly in a collision, increasing your
repair costs.
B990B02MC-AATSide Impact AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side im-
pact airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.

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.
