Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
benefits beyond the protection of the
seat belts.Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not provide
any additional benefit.
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-tional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the severi-ty of impact.

In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Safety system of your vehicle
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 colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
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 POWER button is in
the ON position, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, thefront passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’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 covers and
proper deployment of the sys-tem.
Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while 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 vehi-
cle, against other occupants, or be
ejected 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 restraintsystem sensing components and
wiring harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors. Impact to the doors when the
POWER button is in the ON position
may cause the air bags to inflate. Modifications to accommodate disabilities. If you require modifica-
tion to your vehicle to accommodate
a disability, contact the HYUNDAI
Auto Canada at 1-888-216-2626.
Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag equipped vehicle
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
Air bag warning labels, required by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (CMVSS), are attached to
alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the informationabout the air bags that are installed
on your vehicle in this Owners
Manual.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. Consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-tions could increase the risk of
personal injury.

The active hood lift system can
reduce a risk of injury to pedestrians
by raising the hood in certain acci-
dent situations. The active hood lift
system has the additional deforma-tion space under the hood, which is
made available for subsequent headimpact.System Activation
Prerequisite for activation
The POWER button is in the START
position and the vehicle speed is
between about 25 km/h (15.5 mph)and 50 km/h (31 mph).Information - Active hood lift system repair
 If the active hood lift system has been activated, do not place the hood back
by yourself. Have the system repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 If you change or repair the front bumper, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
System activation
The active hood lift system is
designed to work in a frontal collision
depending on the intensity, speed orangles of impact of the front collision.
The system will activate when: There is a frontal collision with a
pedestrian, an animal, an obstacle or
a vehicle and certain operation con-
ditions (intensity, speed, angle ofimpact, etc.) are met.

System Limitation
The system will not activate when:
In side, rear collisions and rolloveraccidents. The vehicle can detect only frontal collision.
The front bumper is damaged or modified.
The vehicle is in an angled frontal collision with pedestrians.
A pedestrian is laying on the road.
A pedestrian has an object to absorb the shock such as a suit
case, buggy or cart.

System Malfunction
If there is a problem with the system a message will appear on the cluster
LCD display.
This warning message means that
the protection of pedestrians by the
active hood lift system is not working
properly.
If the warning message is displayed,
have the system checked as soon as
possible by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Information
 Do not remove or change the com- ponents and the wiring of the active
hood system.
 Do not change the front bumper or the body structure.
 Do not install or assemble any after- market accessory on the front
bumper or cover.
 When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size as your origi-
nal tires. If you drive with different
tire or wheel sizes, the active hood
lift system may not work normally.
The above situations may cause a mal-
function of the active hood lift system.
