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

WARNING:
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 ren-
dering 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.
An 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 prop-
erly 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
airbag is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of
a crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-
sarily close to the airbag while the
vehicle is in motion.!

Side Impact
Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. In addition, front
airbags will not deploy in frontal
crashes below 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
drivers and passengers can be se-
verely injured by inflating airbags.

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.

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.

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.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an airbag
inflates.
!
WARNING:
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 re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.

WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or there is water
on the floor, do not start the engine;
have the car towed to an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

ing Light
This warning light indicates the fuel filler
cap is not tight securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
If the light comes on at any other time, you
should slow the vehicle and bring it to a
complete stop in a safe location off the
roadway. The brake fluid level warning
light indicates that the brake fluid level in
the brake master cylinder is low and
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT
4 specifications should be added. After
adding fluid, if no other trouble is found,
the car should be immediately and
carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer
for inspection. If further trouble is experi-
enced, the vehicle should not be driven at
all but taken to a dealer by a professional
towing service.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the brake circuits is damaged or
malfunctions. With only one of the circuits
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required
to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop
in as short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
