Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions. The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box. The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengerswith additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-tions:
Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Adjust the front passenger’s and driver’s seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
Do not allow the passenger to ride in the front seat when the front
passenger’s air bag OFF indicatoris illuminated.
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

How does the air bags system operate?
The SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver's front air bag module*
2. Passenger's front air bag module*
3. Pre-tensioner seatbelt system*
4. Air bag warning light*
5. SRS control module (SRSCM)*
6. Front impact sensors* 7. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF indicator *
8. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch*
*: if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while
the ignition switch is ON to determine if a crash impact is
severe enough to require air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.

SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol depicted
in the illustration. The system checks the
air bag electrical system for malfunctions.The light indicates that there is a potential
problem with your air bag system. During a moderate to severe frontal colli-
sion, sensors will detect the vehicle’s
rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceler-ation is high enough, the control unit will
inflate the front air bags.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding tofrontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact or
rollover by supporting the side upperbody area.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Air bags inflate in the event of a severe frontal or side collision to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bagsare designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
These two factors determine whetherthe sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag
may not inflate properly during anaccident increasing the risk of seri-
ous injury or death.
If any of the following conditions
occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:
The light does not turn on for approximately six seconds when
the ignition switch is placed inthe ON position.
The light stays on after illuminat- ing for approximately six sec-onds.
The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The light blinks when the engineis running.
We recommend that an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS as
soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.

Safety system of your vehicle
Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehicle speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle impacts
during a collision. The determining fac-tors are not limited to those mentioned
above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is vir-
tually impossible for you to see the air
bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simplysee the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after thecollision.
To help provide protection, the air bags must inflate rapidly. The speed of airbag inflation is a consequence of
extremely short time in which to inflate
the air bag between the occupant and
the vehicle structures before the occu-
pant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk of
serious or life-threatening injuries and
is thus a necessary part of air bagdesign.
However, the rapid air bag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and brokenbones because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with a
great deal of force. There are even circumstances under
which contact with the air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessivelyclose to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating air bag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the air
bag. An air bag needs about 25 cm (10
inches) of space to inflate. It is recom-
mended that drivers allow at least 25 cm
(10 inches) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest. When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front air
bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the air bags. A fully inflated air bag, in combination
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 forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con-
trols.

WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger's air bag inflates:
Do not install or place any objects (drink holder, CD holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger's panel above the glove
box where the passenger's air
bag is located.
Do not install a container of liquid air freshener near the instrument
cluster or on the instrument
panel surface.

What to expect after an air bag inflates After a frontal or side impact air bag
inflates, it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver from see-
ing out of the windshield or being able to
steer. Curtain air bags may remain partially
inflated for some time after they deploy.Noise and smoke from inflating airbag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing because of the con-
tact of your chest with both the seat belt
and the air bag, as well as from breathing
the smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If you
experience breathing problems after an
air bag deployment, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are non-
toxic, they may cause irritation to the
skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold waterimmediately and seek medical attentionif the symptoms persist.
Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch (if equipped)
The purpose of the switch is to disable
the passenger’s front air bag in order to
transport occupants who are at
increased risk for air bag-related injury
due to age, size, or medical condition.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions:
Open your windows and doors as soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder released
by the inflating air bag.
Do not touch the air bag storage area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag
may be very hot.
thoroughly with lukewarm waterand mild soap.
We recommend that an author- ized HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after deploy-
ment. Air bags are designed to be
used only once.

Do not install a child restraint on thefront passenger seat
Never install a child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag can
forcefully strike a child or restraint result-
ing in serious or fatal injury. If your vehicle is equipped with the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch,
you can activate or deactivate the front
passenger’s air bag when necessary. For
more details, please refer to page 3-35.
WARNING
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the
following conditions may occur:
The air bag warning light ( ) on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate.
The passenger air bag OFF indi- cator ( ) will not illuminate and
the ON indicator ( ) will come
on and go off after approximately
60 seconds. The passenger’s
front air bag will inflate in a
frontal impact even though the
passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch is set to the OFF position.
We recommend that an author- ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch and the SRS air bag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
WARNING
NEVER place a rear-facing or front-
facing child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat of the vehicle. An
inflating frontal air bag could force-
fully strike a child resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Always proper-
ly restrain children in an appropri-
ate child restraint in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
