Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri-
odically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle
has been involved in an accident. This
should be done even if no damage is vis-
ible. We recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

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
the ignition switch is in the ON position,
or continuously remains on, we recom-mend that the system be immediately
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steeringwheel, the front passenger's panel, front
seats and roof rails be performed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS system may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death, take the following precau-tions:
Do not attempt to modify or dis- connect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure.
Do not place objects over or near the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, or
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box.
Clean the air bag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag cov-
ers and proper deployment of thesystem.
We recommend that inflated air bags be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
If components of the air bag sys-tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for the neces-
sary information. Failure to followthese precautions could increase
the risk of personal injury.

Air conditioning (if equipped)
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the recircu- lated air position. However, prolonged
operation of the recirculated air posi-
tion will excessively dry the air. In this
case, change the air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control to the extreme
left, set the air intake control to therecirculated air position, then set the
fan speed control to the highest speed.✽✽ NOTICE
While using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
While opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed.Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operating the air conditioning system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a slightchange in engine speed as the air con-
ditioning compressor cycles. This is a
normal system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water dripping (or
even puddling) on the ground under the
passenger side of the vehicle. This is a
normal system operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, 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 opera-
tion characteristics.
