SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag w
arning 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 indicates that
there is a potential malfunction with your
air bag system, which could include your
side and curtain air bags used for rollover
protection.
WARNING
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 conditions occur,
your SRS is malfunctioning:

[ The light does not turn on for
approximately three to six seconds
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position.

[ The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately three to six
seconds.

[ The light comes on while the vehicle
is in motion.

[ The light blinks when the engine is
running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
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.
The front air bags help protect the driver
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.
[
Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) when the Engine Start/
Stop button is in the ON position or
approximately within 3 minutes after
ignition off.

[ Air bags inflate in the event of certain
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, its 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 accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.

[ In addition to inflating in certain side
collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and curtain air
bags will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and
curtain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection
from ejection, especially when used in
conjunction with the seat belts.

[ To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed
of air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which
to inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.

When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which
tire is significantly underinflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.

WARNING
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
ALWAYS follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:

[Park your vehicle on level ground,
move the shift button into the P
(Park) position, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.

[ Block the tires (front and back) to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled in
moving parts.

[ If you must run the engine during
maintenance, do so in an outdoor
area or in an area with plenty of
ventilation.

[ Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts. The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed
by the owner or an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer at the frequencies indicated to
help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:

[
Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.

[ Check the windshield washer fluid
level.

[ Check the for low or under-inflated
tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level if the motor compartment is hot.
This may result in coolant being blown
out of the opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
Information

[As it is normal for engine oil to be
consumed during driving, the engine
oil level should be checked on regular
basis.

[ The engine oil change interval for
normal operating conditions is based
on the use of the recommended engine
specification. If the recommended
engine oil specification is not used, then
replace the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule under severe
operating conditions.
