Safety system
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 elec-
trical system for malfunctions. The
light indicates that there is a potential
problem with your air bag system,
which could include your side and/or
curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection (if equipped with rollover sen-
sor).
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air
bag may not inflate properly dur-
ing an accident increasing the risk
of serious injury or death.
If any of the following conditions
occur, your SRS is malfunction-
ing:
‡The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
‡The light stays on after illuminat-
ing for approximately six sec-
onds.
‡The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
‡The light blinks when the engine
is running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any of
these conditions occur.During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If
the rate of deceleration is high
enough, the control unit will inflate the
front air bags, at the time and with the
force needed.
The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger by
responding to frontal impacts in which
seat belts alone cannot provide ade-
quate restraint. When needed, the
side air bags help provide protection
in the event of a side impact or roll-
over 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 cer-
tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
‡Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision it’s direction etc. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
‡The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that you
will simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.

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 on
the front passenger seat
OHI038169L
Never install a child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag
can forcefully strike a child or restraint
resulting in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
‡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 protect-
ed by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front
of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY
to the CHILD can occur.
‡Never put a child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. If the
front passenger air bag inflates,
it would cause serious or fatal
injuries.

Safety system
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 pro-
tection. These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-
cle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing 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 sensors. If
the location or angle of the sen-
sors 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 adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
‡Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position,
when the vehicle is being towed
to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
‡We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

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.

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.
Air bag warning labels
(if equipped)
OAC3039035R
Air bag warning labels are attached
to alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the information
about the air bags that are installed
on your vehicle in this Owner’s
Manual.

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
7his warning light illuminates
‡When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
‡When the parking brake is applied.
‡When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check
the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to “Brake
Fluid” in chapter 8). After adding
brake fluid, check all brake compo-
nents for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid
leak is found, or if the warning light
remains on, or if the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. We recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
'ual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means
you still have braking on two wheels
even if one of the dual systems should
fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure are
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion of
the brake system working.
If the brakes fail whilst you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with the
parking brake released, it indicates
that the brake fluid level is low.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
