Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the
higher the speed, the greater the risk,
but serious injuries can also occur at
lower speeds. Never drive faster than is
safe for current conditions, regardless of
the maximum speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe
condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.

WARNING
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
• If the installation location or angle
of the sensors is altered in any way,
the air bags may deploy when they
should not or they may not deploy
when they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. We recommend that the
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the front
bumper and body. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air bag
deployment performance.
Air bag inflation conditions
OBC3030027OBC3030027
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
certain frontal collision depending on
the crash severity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy.
Drive carefully on unimproved roads
or on surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

Safety system

• 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
collision energy is absorbed by the
vehicle structure.
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 passenger’s
panel, front seats and roof rails be
performed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Improper handling of the SRS
system may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING
• Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the body
structure, can adversely affect SRS
performance 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
deployment of the system.
