Safety system of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽✽NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-tensioner
seat belts. The SRS air bag warning
light on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working prop-
erly, the warning light will illuminate
even if the SRS air bag is not malfunc-
tioning. If the warning light does not
illuminate, stays illuminated or illumi-
nates when the vehicle is being driven,
we recommend the pre-tensioner seat
belts and/or SRS air bags be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible. ✽✽
NOTICE
Both the driver's and front passen- ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be
activated in certain frontal collisions.
When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal oper-
ating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.

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.

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.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bag
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensi-
ty, speed or angles of impact of the frontcollision.Although the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s air bags are designed to inflate only
in frontal collisions, they also may inflatein other types of collisions if the frontimpact sensors detect a sufficientimpact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
