Safety features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and the lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel, on the knee
bolster below the steering wheel col-
umn 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 , in the
knee bolster below the steering
wheel column 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 seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
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.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls 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
detail, see "Occupant classification
system" in this section.

Curtain air bag
❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
(Continued)
Do not use any accessory seat covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effec-
tiveness of the system.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air
bag.
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between
the front door and the front
seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the supple-
mental side air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to the side
impact sensor when the igni-
tion switch is on.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the seat or seat cover isdamaged, have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
because your vehicle is
equipped with side impact air
bags and an occupant classi-
fication system.
