Safety system of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch or the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, thefront passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’s panel above the glove
box.
Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys-tem.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
 The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return to
its normal condition.
 A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON/OFF position.
 Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
 If the outside ambient temperature is low, when you operate the steer-
ing wheel a noise from the electric
power steering may occur. As the
temperature increases, the noise will
disappear.
i
If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) willilluminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
