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.

Air bags can only be usedonce – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.
A smaller-stature adult who is not seated correctly (for exam-
ple: seat excessively reclined,
leaning on the door or center
console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a
condition where the advanced
frontal air bag system senses
less weight than if the occu-
pant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being mis-
classified and illumination of
the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator.(Continued)
Do not modify or replace thefront passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach
anything such as a blanket or
seat heater to the front passen-
ger seat. This can adversely
affect the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools when occupying
the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
Do not use accessory seat cov- ers on the front seats.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as
opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear
seat, including an infant riding
in a rear-facing infant seat, a
child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child
riding in a booster seat.
(Continued)WARNING
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can force-
fully strike a child resulting in
serious injuries or death. Any
child age 12 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children
too large for child restraints
should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter
what type of crash, children of
all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's
seat is occupied by an adult
and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting 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), have that person sit in
the rear seat.

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.

Safety features of your vehicle
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
The front passenger air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children through interaction with the
front passenger air bag by being too
close to the instrument panel in the
low speed collisions. But children are
safer if they are restrainted in the
rear seat.According to the impact severity, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) con-
trols the air bag inflation. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger's seat and will
turn off the front passenger's air bag
under certain conditions. For more
details, see "Occupant classification
system" in this section.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the sun visor.
• Advanced air bags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provide enhanced occupant
protection in frontal crashes.
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in collisions in which pro-
tection can be provided by the pre-
tensioner seat belt.
WARNING
If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, please contact the

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.
Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with
the occupant classification sys-
tem.
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, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front and side air bags caninjure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
driver and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating
air bags.
Never lean against the door or center console – always sit in
an upright position.
Do not allow a 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 mod-
erate or severe frontal crash.
(Continued)WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with advanced air bags, improp-
erly belted and unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in
this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
Never place a child in anychild or booster seat in the
front seat.
ABC – Always Buckle Children in the back seat. It is
the safest place for children of
any age to ride.

The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe. 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.

Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint sys-
tem must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured
or killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
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.

❈ 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.
