When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently 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 allows full
inflation of the air bags. A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury.

Driver’s front air bag (1)
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
NEVER place a child restraint
in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren under age 13 in the rear
seats of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger’s
and driver’s seats as far to the
rear as possible while allow-
ing you to maintain full con-
trol of the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions.
Never place anything or any-
one between the air bag andthe seat occupant.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
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 illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, thefront passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
OLMB033076
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger'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 covers and
proper deployment of the sys-tem.
We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.(Continued)

Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position and
goes off in approximately 3 seconds if
the system is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch isplaced to the ON position, this indi-
cates that there may be a malfunc-
tion with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible. The nor-
mal braking system will still be oper-
ational, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.
Electronic
brake force

(EBD) system
warning light
If these two warning lights illuminate
at the same time while driving, your
vehicle may have a malfunction withthe ABS and EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular
brake system may not work normally.
Have the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD
warning light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. Also, the EPS warning
light may illuminate and the steering
effort may increase or decrease. In
this case, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
If both ABS and brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your
vehicle’s brake system will not
work normally. So you may expe-
rience an unexpected and dan-
gerous situation during sudden
braking. In this case, avoid highspeed driving and abrupt brak-
ing. Have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er as soon as possible.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
This system assists you with steering
the vehicle.
If the engine is turned off or if the
EPS becomes inoperative, you may
still steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the EPS
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return
to its normal condition.
A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is placed in the ON or
LOCK/OFF position.
A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.Tilt steering/Telescope steering
Pull down the lock-release lever (1)
on the steering wheel column and
adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3, if equipped). Move
the steering wheel, so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument panel warning lights and
gauges. After adjusting, pull up the
lock-release lever (1) to lock the
steering wheel in place. Push the
