•There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to the
steering wheel.
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath
ing due to the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.
Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis
comfort and prevent prolonged expo
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult
with the doctor if the symptom per
sists.
•To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi
ble. The front passenger should
always move their seat as far
back as possible and sit back in
their seat.
•Air bag inflates instantly in an
event of a collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
a proper position.
•Air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage areas internal compo
nents immediately after an air bag
has inflated.

Safety system of your vehicle
In case of the Lefthand drive vehi
cle, the sensors and modules are in
the symmetrically opposite order.
The SRSCM continuously monitors
all SRS components while the igni
tion switch is ON to determine if a
crash 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.The air bag modules are located
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.
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunc
tion of the SRS. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
•The light stays on after illuminat
ing for approximately 6 seconds.
•The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the ignition
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"
engraved on the air bag pad cover in
the steering wheel and the passen
ger'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.
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 air bags,
improperly and unbelted occu
pants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates. Always
follow the precautions about seat
belts, air bags and occupant safe
ty 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 any child
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.

•Front and side impact air bags
can injure 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 unnec
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned drivers
and passengers can be severe
ly injured by inflating air bags.
•Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules 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 disconnect
SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci
dental 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Air bags can only be used once
– we recommend that the sys
tem be replaced by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•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 longi
tudinal 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 intended
to deploy in sideimpact, rear
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment 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.

Safety system of your vehicle
Side impact air bag
(if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to pro
vide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional pro
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer
tain sideimpact collisions, depend
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
impact air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
OGS035035
OGS035047
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the doors,
stretch their arms out of the win
dow, or place objects between the
doors and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.
WARNING
•The side impact air bag is sup
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side
impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
•For best protection from the side
impact air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side impact air bag,
both front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 positions. The passen
ger's arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri
ous personal injury.
(Continued)
•If the air bags inflate, we recom
mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal
er.
•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 inflation of the
air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
•If components of the air bag sys
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be
observed. An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.Failure to follow these precau
tions 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 tostart the engine; we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Modification to SRS compo
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges to
the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can
adversely affect SRS perform
ance and lead to possible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth
or one which has been mois
tened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys
tem.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instru
ment panel, and the front pas
senger'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.

Electric power steering (EPS) (if
equipped)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light () will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate. Take your vehicle
to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked as
soon as possible.
