Air bag warning light
The SRS air bag warning light " "
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for about 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, after which the SRS air bag
warning light " " should go out.
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
of the SRS. Have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the air bag
system as soon as possible.
The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds. The light comes on while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
The light blinks when you turn the ignition ON.
The front air bag modules are locat-
ed both in the center of the steering
wheel and in the front passenger's
panel above the glove box. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags.

WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there
may be a loud noise followed
by a fine dust released in the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and are not hazardous
- the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generat-
ed during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm
water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags
were deployed.

The SRS can function onlywhen the ignition switch is in
the ON position. If the SRS air
bag warning light " " does
not illuminate, or continuous-
ly remains on after illuminat-
ing for about 6 seconds when
the ignition switch 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, have your vehicle
immediately 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.(Continued)
When installing a container ofliquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG "OFF" indicator is on, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart
the engine and have the person
remain in that position for about 30
seconds. This will allow the system to
detect the person and to enable the
passenger air bag. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occu-
pant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.

WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is illuminated because
the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a crash. If the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG "OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the
adult passenger repositions
themselves properly and the car
is restarted, it is recommended
that passenger move to the rear
seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid
serious injury from a deploying
air bag.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating posi-
tions. The indications of the system's
presence are the letters "SRS AIR
BAG" embossed on the air bag pad
cover in 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 and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses
sensors to gather information about
the impact severity.
WARNING
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illu-
minate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with
the occupant classification sys-
tem. If there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator will not illumi-
nate and the passenger's front
air bag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is
no occupant in the front passen-
ger's seat. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position,
remains illuminated after approx-
imately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON
position, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS air bag
system as soon as
possible.

❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Side impact air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The
purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
(Continued)
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.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
(Continued)(Continued)
The SRS air bag system mustdeploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

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 you turn the ignition
on, 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, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.WARNING
Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
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 inflate.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, theymust be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er knows these precautions
and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and
procedures could increase
the risk of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you shouldn't
try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
