Safety system of your vehicle
There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively 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 discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure 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 colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible. 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, passen-
gers 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 instru-
ment 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
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)
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 place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
impact 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 whenthe igni-
tion switch is on.
If the seat or seat cover is
damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Inform the dealer that your
vehicle is equipped with side
impact air bags.

(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
impact air bag.
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such
as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
Do not put any objects
between the side air bag label
and seat cushion. It could
cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to deploy.

They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
In order for side impact and
curtain air bags to provide the
best protection, both front
seat occupants and both out-
board rear occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
system in the rear seat.
When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to put the child restraint
system as far away from the
door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint sys-
tem in a locked position.
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.

WARNING (Continued)
Do not hang hard or breakable
objects on the clothes hanger.
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 window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped
with side and/or curtain air
bags.
Never try to open or repair any
components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. We rec-
ommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

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 rec-
ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. An author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer knows
these precautions and can
give you the necessary infor-
mation. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
If your car was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you shouldn't
try to start the engine; we rec-
ommend 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 modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
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 inflate.

However, if the front door is opened,
the sunroof cannot be operated even
within 30 seconds.Information
• In cold and wet climates, the sun-
roof may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• After the vehicle is washed or in a
rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
Do not continue to move the sun-
roof control lever after the sun-
roof is fully opened, closed, or
tilted. Damage to the motor or
system components could occur.
Make sure the sunroof is closed
fully when leaving your vehicle.
If the sunroof is open, rain or
snow may leak through the sun-
