• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
1VQA2092WARNING
• Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, 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 deploy-
ment of the system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules 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.
• If the air bags inflate, we rec-
ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.

Additional safety precautions
•Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area 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.
•Passengers should not move
out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving.A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt dur-
ing a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
•Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant.If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
•Do not use any accessories on
seat belts.Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo-
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.•Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an air bag inflates.
•Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers.All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
•Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side impact air bag
covers could interfere with the
proper operation of the air bags.
•Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint system
sensing components or side air
bags.(Continued)
• If components of the air bag
system 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 precau-
tions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to
start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

•Do not place items under the
front seats.Placing items under
the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
•Never hold an infant or child on
your lap.The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the oper-
ation of your vehicle's air bag sys-
tem.
Air bag warning label
(if equipped)
Air bag warning labels are attached
to alert driver and passengers of
potential risk of air bag system.
Note that these government warn-
ings focus on the risk of children. We
also want you to be aware of the
risks adults are exposed to which
have been described in previous
pages.WARNING
• Sitting improperly or out of
position can cause occupants
to be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Always sit upright with the
seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat
cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and your feet on the floor.

ACTIVE HOOD LIFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The active hood lift system can
reduce a risk of injury to pedestrians
by raising the hood in certain accident
situations. The active hood lift system
has the additional deformation space
under the hood, which is made avail-
able for the subsequent head impact.
When the active hood lift system is
activated ;
• The ignition switch is in the on posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is
between about 25km/h (15.5 MPH)
and 50 km/h (31 MPH).
• The active hood lift system is
designed to work in a frontal colli-
sion depending on the intensity,
speed or angles of impact of the
front collision.
✽NOTICE - Active hood lift
system repair
• If the active hood lift system has
been activated, do not place the
hood back by yourself. We recom-
mend that the system be repaired by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If you change or repair the front
bumper, we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Active hood lift system activation
situation
• If the vehicle falls in the gutter or
from a high place.
• The active hood lift system may be
activated when an impact is detect-
ed by frontal collision without pedes-
trians. If an animal, trash can or other
things are struck by your vehicle.
• In certain high-speed frontal or
angled collisions, with car or barrier,
the active hood lift system may work.

vation situation

• The active hood lift system is not
designed to operate in side, rear
collisions and rollover accidents.
Because the vehicle can detect
only frontal collision.
• If the front bumper is damaged or
modified.
• If the vehicle have an angled
frontal collision with pedestrians.
• If a pedestrian, lies on the road.
• If the pedestrian have an object to
absorb the shock such as a suit
case, buggy or cart.
Active hood lift system malfunc-
tion
If there is a problem with the system
a message will appear in the cluster
LCD display.
This warning message means that
the protection of pedestrians by the
active hood lift system does not
works correctly.
If the warning message displayed,
we recommend that the system be
checked as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
•Do not remove or change the com-
ponents and the wiring of the
active hood system.
•Do not change the front bumper
or the body structure.
•Do not install or assemble any
aftermarket accessory on the front
bumper or cover.
•When replacing tires, make sure
they are the same size as your
original tires. If you drive with dif-
ferent tire or wheel sizes, the
active hood lift system may not
work normally.
The above situations may cause a
malfunction of the active hood lift
system.
