WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects on the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.WARNING - Rear seat
belts
When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position.
After returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
check that the rear seats are
secure.
WARNING - Cargo load-
ing
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission is in P
(Park) or the manual transmis-
sion is in reverse, and the park-
ing brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to
move if the shift lever is inad-
vertently moved to another
position.

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.

(Continued)
The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. If the SRS air
bag warning light " " does
not illuminate, or continuous-
ly remains on after illuminat-
ing for about 6 seconds when
the ignition switch 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 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.(Continued)
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 a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

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 posi-
tion 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"
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occu-
pant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.

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 PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG "OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the
adult passenger repositions
themselves properly and the car
is restarted, it is recommended
that passenger move to the rear
seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid
serious injury from a deploying
air bag.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light " " does not
illuminate, when you turn the ignition
on, or continuously 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, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.WARNING
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.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, they
must be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er knows these precautions
and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and
procedures 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.

KEYS
WARNING -Ignition key
(Smart key)
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key
(smart key) is dangerous even if
the key is not in the ignition
switch or the ENGINE
START/STOP button is ACC or
ON position. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition switch or
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button. The ignition key (smart
key) would enable children to
operate power windows or
other controls, or even make
the vehicle move, which could
result in serious bodily injury or
even death. Never leave the
keys in your vehicle with unsu-
pervised children, when the
Engine is running.
WARNING
Use only HYUNDAI original
parts for the ignition key in your
vehicle. If an aftermarket key is
used, the ignition switch may
not return to ON after START. If
this happens, the starter will
continue to operate causing
damage to the starter motor
and possible fire due to exces-
sive current in the wiring.
