Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision?
(Air bags are not designed to
inflate in every collision.)
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third col-
lisions in multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should haveinflated.Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. Ifthe location or angle of the sen-
sors is altered, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
may not deploy when theyshould.

Do not install bumper guards orreplace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
We recommend that all repairs are conducted by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

Odometer (km or mi)
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful to
determine when periodic maintenance
should be performed.
✽✽
NOTICE
It is forbidden to alter the odometer of
all vehicles with the intent to change the
mileage registered on the odometer. The
alteration may void your warranty cov-
erage.WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after thewarning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
“E” level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damag-ing the catalytic converter.OBA043110

Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed in
your vehicle filters the dust or other pol-
lutants that come into the vehicle fromthe outside through the heating and air
conditioning system. If dust or other pol-
lutants accumulate in the filter over a
period of time, the air flow from the air
vents may decrease, resulting in mois-
ture accumulation inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh) air
position is selected. If this happens, werecommend that the climate control air
filter be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽✽
NOTICE
Check the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule in chapter 7.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air filter
inspections and changes are required.
When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negativeimpact on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor and
abnormal system operation may occur.OPB049140L

WARNING- Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured while
performing some maintenance
procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while work-
ing under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose cloth-
ing before getting near theengine or cooling fans.
