Safety features of your vehicle
The air bag modules are located in
the centre of the steering wheel and
in the front passenger's panel above
the glove box. When the SRSCM
detects a sufficiently severe impact
to the front of the vehicle, it will auto-
matically deploy the front air bags.Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full
inflation of the air bags.A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating,
enabling the driver to maintain for-
ward visibility and the ability to steer
or operate other controls.

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
generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as
aggravate asthma for some
people. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thorough-
ly with lukewarm water and a
mild soap after an accident in
which the air bags were
deployed.

WARNING
• Do not install or place any
accessories (drink holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger's panel above the
glove box in a vehicle with a
passenger's air bag. Such
objects may become danger-
ous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger's air
bag inflates.
(Continued)
(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.

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.

Features of your vehicle
• Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
• During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust
or other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through the
heating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
screen even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the cli-
mate control air filter be replaced by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
• Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty,
rough roads, more frequent cli-
mate control air filter inspections
and changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
