indicator (front passenger's seat
only)*
11. Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch*
12. Driver’s knee air bag module*
* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all
elements while the ignition switch is
ON to determine if a frontal or near-
frontal impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.The front air bag modules are locat-
ed both in the center of the steering
wheel, in the front passenger's panel
above the glove box and/or in the dri-
ver’s side knee bolster. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags.
WARNING
If any of the following condi-
tions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction of the SRS. We rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• The light does not turn on
briefly when you turn the igni-
tion ON.
• The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately 6
seconds.
• The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the igni-
tion switch is in ON position.

Driver's and passenger's front
air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions.
(Continued)
• 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, we recommend
that the system be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.

• When installing a container of
liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.
WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there
may be a loud noise followed
by a fine dust released in the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and are not hazardous
- the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generat-
ed during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm
water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags
were deployed.

Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch (if equipped)
The passenger’s front air bag can be
deactivated by the passenger’s front
air bag ON/OFF switch if a child
restraint is installed on the front pas-
senger's seat or if the front passen-
ger's seat is unoccupied by a person.
To ensure the safety of your child,
the passenger’s front air bag must be
deactivated when it should be neces-
sary to install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat in
exceptional circumstances.
(Continued)
• 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
upright 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.
• The SRS air bag 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 air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.
ODMESA2008
(Continued)
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
• For maximum safety protec-
tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driv-
er should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an
air bag is also provided at
their seating position to mini-
mize the risk of severe injury
or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bag while the vehicle is in
motion.

Safety features of your vehicle
(Continued)
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passen-
ger's front air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for
child restraint systems
should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. Children
are afforded the most safety
in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a
proper restraint system in the
rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.WARNING
• The driver is responsible for
the proper position of the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch.
• Deactivate the passenger's
front air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger’s and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctly
during a collision.
• Never install a rearward fac-
ing child seat on the front pas-
senger's seat unless the pas-
senger's front air bag has
been deactivated. The infant
or child could be severely
injured or killed by an air bag
deployment in case of an acci-
dent.

(Continued)
And, the passenger's front air
bag OFF indicator
() will not
illuminate (The passenger's
front air bag ON indicator
comes on and goes off after
approximately 60 seconds),
the SRS Control Module reac-
tivates the passenger’s front
air bag and the passenger’s
front air bag will inflate in
frontal impact crashes even if
the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch is set to the
OFF position.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the system be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• If the SRS air bag warning
light blinks or does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position,
or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, we
recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
WARNING - if equipped
with rollover sensor
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignition is
ON, and the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a rollover.
WARNING
• Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal
injury or death.
• If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death. Therefore, do
not try to perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. We recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body,
front door or B pillar and C pil-
lars where side collision sen-
sors are installed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Your vehicle has been
designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air
bag deployment performance.

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.
