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) Front retractor pre-tensioner
(3) SRS control module
(4) Rear retractor pre-tensioner
(if equipped)
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with
the pre–tensioner seat belts. The
SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in 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. If
the 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
authorised 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 inhaled for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.

Curtain air bags (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy 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. (Continued)
Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bags.
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.
Do not cause impact to the
doors when the ignition switch
is in the ON position or this
may cause the side air bags to
inflate.
If the seat or seat cover is
damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

OAE036042
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
curtain air bag, take the follow-
ing precautions:
All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help
keep occupants positioned
properly.
Properly secure Child Restraint
System as far away from the
door as possible.

How does the air bags system
operate?
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module/
Driver’s knee air bag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module
(3) Side air bag modules/
Side impact sensors
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Front retractor pre-tensioner/
Rear retractor pre-tensioner
assemblies (if equipped)
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side pressure sensors
(10) Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF indicator
(front passenger's seat only)
(11) Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch 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 other objects
except clothes, especially
hard or breakable objects. In
an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal
injury.
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 doors
and 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 responding
to 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 or rollover by
supporting the side upper body area.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the ignition
switch 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 bags
are designed to inflate based upon
the severity of a collision and its direc-
tion. These two factors determine
whether the sensors produce an elec-
tronic deployment/inflation signal. If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
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 ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur.

Safety system of your vehicle
Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and may produce 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 breathing
because of the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If
you experience breathing problems
after an air bag deployment, seek
medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this
is the case, wash and rinse with cold
water immediately and seek medical
attention if the symptoms persist.
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat
Never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated
OYDESA2042
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Never put a Child Restraint
System in the front passen-
ger’s seat. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adverse-
ly affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
