Safety features of your vehicle
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
OBH038100
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occu-
pant safety features – includ-
ing seat belts and air bags –
that are provided in this man-
ual.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts
properly.
WARNING
Do not put anything near the
buckle. Placing objects near the
buckle can adversely affect the
buckle pre-tensioner and may
increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit property
on your seat.

NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front pas-
senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• The fine dust may cause skin irri- tation and should not be breathed
for prolonged periods. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-ing light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of theSRS air bag. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition switch isturned ON, or if it remains illu-minated after illuminating forapproximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt andSRS air bag system as soon aspossible.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After
activation, pre-tensioner seat
belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should
always be replaced after they
have been worn during a colli-
sion.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been acti-
vated.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be
done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not strike the pre-tension- er seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.

NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in
this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period-
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoul-
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle. If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
WARNING- Shoulder
belts on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
If seat belts are not properly worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.

(Continued)
Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
Never leave children unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The car can heat up
very quickly, resulting in seri-
ous injuries to children inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehi-
cle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock
themselves or others inside
the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
Children often squirm and reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand-upor kneel on the seat or floor of
a moving vehicle. During a col-
lision or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting
in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buckles
before fastening them over a
child.
After an accident, have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
check the child restraint sys-
tem, seat belt, tether anchor
and lower anchor.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint sys-
tem in the rear right seat.WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflat-
ing air bag resulting in seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the child
restraint.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-
ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
car’s interior.

SRS components and func-
tions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only) 11. Occupant classification system
(Front passenger’s seat only)
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.
OBK039059N
WARNING
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!

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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
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.

Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant classification sys-
tem
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
is designed to detect the presence of
a properly-seated front passenger
and determine if the passenger's
front air bag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not. The driver's front air
bag is not affected or controlled by
the occupant classification system.
Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located withinthe front passenger seat track.
Electronic system to determine whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.
A warning light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicating the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag warn- ing light is interconnected with the
occupant classification system.
If the front passenger seat is occu-
pied by a person that the system
determines to be of adult size, and
he/she sits properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), the PASSENGER AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator will be turned off and
the front passenger's air bag will be
able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal
crashes. You will find the PASSENGER AIR
BAG "OFF" indicator on the center
facia panel. This system detects the
conditions 1~4 in the following table
and activates or deactivates the front
passenger air bag based on these
conditions.
