Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up theseatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place.
(The lever MUST return to its orig-
inal position for the seatback to
lock.) Reclining seatback Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, theshoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’ships will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike theshoulder belt.
OAE036003
NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pre-tensioner (3) SRS control moduleThe sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with
the pre–tensioner seat belts. The
SRS air bag warning light on theinstrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 6 seconds after
the power button is placed to the
ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illu-
minate even if the SRS control
module is not malfunctioning. Ifthe warning light does not illumi-
nate when the vehicle is turned
ON, stays illuminated or illumi-
nates when the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend the pre-tensioner seat belts and/or SRS
air bags be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible. Information
 Both the driver's and front passen- ger's pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions.
 The pre-tensioners will be activated even if the seat belts are not worn at
the time of the collision.
 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.
 Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.

To reactivate the passenger’s front air bag:
Insert the key or a similar rigid device
into the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch and turn it to the ON
position. The passenger air bag ON
indicator ( ) will illuminate and stay
on for 60 seconds.Information
The passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the POWER button is placed
in the ON position.
i
Never allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front passenger
seat when the passenger air
bag OFF indicator is illuminat-
ed. During a collision, the air
bag will not inflate if the indica-
tor is illuminated. Turn on the
passenger’s front air bag or
have your passenger move tothe rear seat.
WARNING
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions,
the following conditions mayoccur:
The air bag warning light ( ) on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
The passenger air bag OFF
indicator ( ) will not illumi-
nate and the ON indicator ( )will come on and go off after
approximately 60 seconds.
The passenger’s front air bag
will inflate in a frontal impact
even though the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch isset to the OFF position.
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch and the SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.

How does the air bags system operate?
The SRS consists of the following components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module/Driver’s knee airbag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module
(3) Side air bag modules/ Side impact sensors
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assem- blies
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(8) F ront impact sensors (9) Side pressure sensors
(10) Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF indicator (front pas- senger's seat only)
(11) Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the POWER
button is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.
(Continued)
Do not place any objects over
the air bag. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area the
air bag inflates such as the
door, side door glass, front and
rear pillar, roof side rail.
Do not hang hard or breakable
objects on the clothes hanger.
Do not hang other objects
except clothes on the clothes
hanger. In an accident it may
cause vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury especially when
airbag is inflated.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doorsand seats.
Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.

SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration. The
system checks the air bag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light indi-
cates that there is a potential problem
with your air bag system.During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driv-
er and front passenger by respondingto frontal impacts in which seat belts
alone cannot provide adequate
restraint. When needed, the side air
bags help provide protection in the
event of a side impact by supportingthe side upper body area.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the POWER
button is in the ON position.
Air bags inflate in the event of certain frontal or side collisions to help pro-
tect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bagsare designed to inflate based upon
the severity of a collision and its direc-
tion. These two factors determinewhether the sensors produce an elec-
tronic deployment/inflation signal.
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properlyduring an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury ordeath.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-functioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the POWER button is inthe ON position.
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately sixseconds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the
vehicle is running.
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.
