• Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the seat belt could press deep
into the child causing serious
internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or
any two adults, to use the same
seat belt.
• Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child travel
with the shoulder belt under
their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Never allow a child to stand-up
or kneel on the seat or floor-
board of a moving vehicle.
During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicle's
interior, resulting in serious
injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
• Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buckles
before fastening them over a
child.
• After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
• If there is not enough space
behind the driver's seat to
place the child restraint sys-
tem, install the child restraint
system in the rear seat, behind
the front passenger's seat.WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child travelling in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflating
air bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
• Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint manufacturer.
• Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the child
seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when travelling in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the
child from your arms and throw
the child against the vehicle’s
interior.

Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag warning and indicator
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument cluster is to
alert you to a potential problem with
an air bag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the warning light should illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on whilst the vehi-
cle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
WARNING
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
• Never put a child restraint in
the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
• When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats of a
vehicle equipped with curtain
air bags, be sure to install the
child restraint system as far
away from the door side as
possible, and securely lock
the child restraint system in
position.
Inflation of curtain air bags
could cause serious injury or
death to an infant or child.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assem-
blies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensorsThe SRSCM continuously monitors
all SRS components whilst the igni-
tion switch is ON to determine if a
crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument cluster 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.
OYF039055R
WARNING
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, this indicates a
malfunction of the SRS. We rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorised
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 whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON posi-
tion.

Safety features of your vehicle
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.The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "AIR BAG"
engraved on the air bag pad cover in
the steering wheel and the passen-
ger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above
the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity.

• The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
• 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)
• 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 deploy.
• 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 deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
• If the SRS air bag warning
light remains illuminated
whilst the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improp-
erly positioned in the front
seats.
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air
bags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
• You and your passengers
should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
• Never lean against the door or
centre console – always sit in
an upright position.
(Continued)WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in their
proper position to obtain maxi-
mum benefit from the air bag.
Even with air bags, improperly
and unrestrained occupants
can be severely injured when
the air bag inflates. Always fol-
low the precautions about seat
belts, air bags and occupant
safety contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
• Never place a child in any
child or booster seat in the
front seat.
• ABC – Always Buckle
Children in the back seat. It is
the safest place for children of
any age to travel.

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 authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that any work on the
SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen-
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri-
ous 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 perform-
ance 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 deployment
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, we rec-
ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorised
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.
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. An autho-
rised 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 vehicle was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you shouldn't
try to start the engine; we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
