(Continued)
Do not allow a passenger to ridein the front seat when the pas-
senger’s front air bag OFF indica-
tor is illuminated, because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of
a moderate or severe frontal
crash. (if equipped)
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag modules on
the steering 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 air bags to deploy.
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental deployment of the air bags
or by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
If the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
Air bags can only be used once –have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace the air bag imme-
diately after deployment.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe andwhen the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitu-
dinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
Front air bags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.

To deactivate or reactivate the passen-
ger’s front air bag:
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag, insert the master key into the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch
and turn it to the OFF position. The pas-
senger’s front air bag OFF indicator ( )
will illuminate and stay on until the pas-
senger’s front air bag is reactivated.
To reactivate the passenger’s front air
bag, insert the master key into the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch
and turn it to the ON position. The pas-
senger’s front air bag OFF indicator willgo out.
✽✽ NOTICE
When the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the ON posi-
tion, the passenger’s front air bag is
activated and child or infant seat
should not be installed on the front
passenger seat.
When the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF posi-
tion, the passenger’s front air bag is
deactivated.
OPA037024
CAUTION
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch is not working
properly, the air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illu-minate.
And, the passenger's front air bagOFF indicator will not illuminate, the SRS Control Module reacti-vate the passenger’s front air bag and the passenger’s front air bag
will inflate in frontal impact crash- es even if the passenger’s frontair bag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position.
If this occurs, have an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer inspect the pas-senger’s front air bag ON/OFFswitch, the pre-tensioner seat beltsystem and the SRS air bag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion switch is turned to the ONposition, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, havean authorized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the passenger’s front air
bag ON/OFF switch, pre-tensioner seat belt and the SRS air bag sys- tem as soon as possible.WARNING

ON/OFF switch could turn by using
a similar small rigid device. Always
check the status of the front air bag
ON/OFF switch and passenger's
front air bag ON/OFF indicator.

Side impact air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The
purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.
OPA037049
OPA031025
(Continued)
If driver brakes the vehicle heavi-ly in an urgent situations, occu-
pants will be thrown forward. If
front passengers are not wearing
the seat belts, they will be direct-
ly in front of the air bags when
inflation occurs. In that situation,
severe injury or death is possi-
ble.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands or feet on theinstrument panel or put their face
close to the instrument panel. The
air bag will impact the front pas-
senger when it inflates.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow children/old and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Do not put child
restraint system on the front pas-
senger’s seat either. They may be
seriously injured by the air bag
inflation when air bag deploys.
Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory on the frontwindshield glass or do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory installed
rearview mirror. These may inter-
fere with the deployment of air
bag inflation or could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and evendeath.

C041100APA SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS " "
warning light does not illuminate, or con-
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel must be per-
formed by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er. Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
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 performance and lead
to possible injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering 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 air bags to inflate.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental inflation of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
If components of the air bag sys- tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and pro-cedures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; have the car towed to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

O/D (Over Drive) system
Pressing the O/D system button cancels
and engages the overdrive system.When the O/D system is cancelled, theO/D OFF indicator illuminates and the
transaxle gear range is limited to 1st
through 3rd. The transaxle will not shift to
4th gear until the O/D system button is
pressed again to release the switch.
When driving down a sloping road with
the transaxle in O/D (4th), you can
decrease the vehicle speed without using
the brakes by pressing the O/D button.
When the ignition is switched OFF, O/D OFF mode is automatically cancelled.O/D OFF Indicator
This indicator light illumi-nates in the instrument panelwhen the O/D mode is can-celled. E060102APA
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle from P (Park) into R
(Reverse) unless the brake pedal isdepressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park) into R
(Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Depress the lock release button and
move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
