Driver's and front passenger's
air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sup-
plemental restraint system (air bag)
and lap/shoulder belts for both the
driver and the front passenger. Thepresence of the system is indicated
by the letters, "SRS AIR BAG," which
are embossed on the steering wheel
and the front panel above the glove
box.
The SRS consists of air bags, which
are installed under the pad cover of
the steering wheel and under the
front panel above the glove box.
(Continued)
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury,
when a front passenger's air
bag inflates.
When an air bag deploys,
there may be a loud noise aswell as fine dusts released in
the vehicle. These conditionsare normal and are not haz-
ardous - the air bags are
packed with fine powders. The
dust generated during air bag
deployment may cause
skin/eye irritation as well as
aggravate asthma for some
persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thorough-
ly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in
which the air bags were
deployed. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
The SRS operates, only after turning ON the ignition
switch. When the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-nate after turning ON the igni-
tion switch, when light contin-
uously remains ON longer
than approximately 6 sec-
onds, or when the light
remains ON while driving, the
SRS does not properly oper-
ate.
In this case, we recommend that the system be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Before replacing a fuse or dis-
connecting a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag relatedfuse(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.

Safety system of your vehicle
Why did not my air bag go off in a collision? (Inflation andnon-inflation conditions of the
air bag)
There are many types of acci-
dents in which the air bag
would not inflate to provide
additional protection.
These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in
multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts.
(Continued)
A child restraint system must
never be installed in a front
seat. The infant or child may
be severely injured or killed
by a deploying air bag in anaccident.
Children at the age of 12 and
under must always be proper-
ly restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
a front passenger's seat.
When a child at the age of 13
and over sits in a front seat,
he or she must be properlyfastened and the seat shouldbe located in the rearmostposition.
❇
❇ The age requirements
about the child detrainment
differ in each country.
For the maximum protection
in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driv-
er should always wear their
seat belts, regardless of the
air bag installment in theirseats.
(Continued)
(Continued)This is to minimizethe risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessar-
ily close to the air bag, when
the vehicle is in motion.
Sitting improperly or out of
position may result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. Alloccupants should sit in anupright position with the seat-
back in an upright position,centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and
their feet rested on the floor
until the vehicle is parked and
the ignition switch is turned
OFF.
The SRS air bag rapidly
inflates to provide Protection
to occupants in a crash. Whenan occupant is out of positionwithout fastening a seat belt,
the air bag may forcefully
strike the occupant, causing
serious or fatal injury.

Immobilizer system
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobilizer sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
it checks and determines and verifies
if the ignition key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizersystem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the OFF posi-tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys-tem:
Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-tion.
The immobilizer system activates
automatically. Without a valid ignition
key for your vehicle, the engine will
not start.

Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition or start is ACC orON position.
Children copy adults and they
could place the key in the igni-tion.
The ignition key would enable
children to operate power win-
dows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move, which
could result in serious bodily
injury or even death.
Never leave the keys in your
vehicle with unsupervised chil-
dren, when the engine is run-ning.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential. Do
not leave this number anywhere
in your vehicle.
WARNING

3-6Information
When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the engine may not

any malfunction after you receive
your new vehicle.
Information
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, we recommend that you
consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is designed

ice, however you should avoid
exposure to moisture, static elec-
tricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction
could occur.
