WARNING
To reduce a risk of serious or
fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflat-
ing air bag resulting in seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
• Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint maker.
• Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
• Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-
ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
car’s interior.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Never put a seat belt over
yourself and a child. During a
crash, the belt could press
deep into the child causing
serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unat-
tended in a vehicle – not even
for a short time. The car can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or
any two persons, to use the
same seat belt.
• Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear
seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Never allow a child to stand-
up or kneel on the seat or
floorboard of a moving vehi-
cle. During a collision or sud-
den stop, the child can be vio-
lently thrown against the vehi-
cles interior, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or
a child safety seat that
"hooks" over a seatback, it
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them
over a child.
• After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Front impact sensors
3. Passenger's front air bag module*
4. Pretensioner seatbelt systems*
5. Side impact sensors*
6. Curtain air bag modules*
7. Side air bag modules*
8. SRS control module (SRSCM)/
Rollover sensor*
9. Air bag warning light10. Passenger’s front air bag OFF
indicator (front passenger's seat
only)*
11. Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch*
12. Driver’s knee air bag module*
* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all
elements while the ignition switch is
ON to determine if a frontal or near-
frontal impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.

CAUTION
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions,
the passenger’s front air bag
OFF indicator will not illuminate
(The passenger's front air bag
ON indicator comes on and goes
off after approximately 60 sec-
onds) and the passenger’s front
air bag will inflate in a frontal
impact even if the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch is
set to the OFF position.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the passenger’s front air
bag ON/OFF switch and the SRS
air bag system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

The front air bag modules are locat-
ed both in the center of the steering
wheel, in the front passenger's panel
above the glove box and/or in the dri-
ver’s side knee bolster. 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 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.
WARNING
If any of the following condi-
tions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction of the SRS. We rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• The light does not turn on
briefly when you turn the igni-
tion ON.
• The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately 6
seconds.
• The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the igni-
tion switch is in ON position.

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"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and/or on the
cover of the driver’s side knee bolster
located below the steering wheel and
the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel, in the
knee bolster below the steering
wheel column and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box.
(Continued)
• The SRS can function only
when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. If the SRS air
bag warning light blinks or
does not illuminate, or contin-
uously remains on after illu-
minating for about 6 seconds
when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position, or
after the engine is started,
comes on while driving, the
SRS is not working properly.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the system be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• 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.

• The SRS is designed to
deploy the front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the
forward longitudinal axis of
the vehicle. Additionally, the
air bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
• Front air bags are not intend-
ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold.
• A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could
be severely injured or killed
by an air bag deployment in
case of an accident.
(Continued)(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 while the
vehicle is being driven, we rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Air bags can only be used
once – we recommend that the
system be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
• For maximum safety protec-
tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driv-
er should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an
air bag is also provided at
their seating position to mini-
mize the risk of severe injury
or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bag while the vehicle is in
motion.
