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 is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger’s panel,
front seats and roof rails be per-
formed by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. Improper handling of the
SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death take the following precau-
tions:
‡ Do not attempt to modify or dis-
connect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure.
‡ Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and
the front passenger’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 cov-
ers and proper deployment of
the system.
‡ We recommend that inflated air
bags be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
‡ If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, cer-
tain safety precautions must be
observed. Consult a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for the nec-
essary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal
injury.

Safety system
Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats whilst the vehi-
cle is moving. A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a crash
or emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or be eject-
ed from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or reposi-
tion the seat belt can reduce the pro-
tection provided by the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious injury
in a crash
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens-
ing components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may
cause the air bags to inflate.
Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag equipped vehi-
cle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle’s frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the opera-
tion of your vehicle’s air bag system.
