B010A02A-GAT
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline
B010A01GK
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso­line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffective and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service stations can not be inserted into fuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going to use leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso­line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is same
with unleaded one.
B010B01A-AAT
What About Gasohol?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel­ops driveability problems, the use of 100% un­leaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010D01S-AAT
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage com­ponents of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War­ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys­tem and performance problems that are caused by the use of methanol or fuels con­taining methanol.
B010E01A-AAT
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom­mends that you use gasolines treated with deter­gent additives, which help prevent deposit for­mation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance of the Emission Control System.
B010F01A-AAT
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
B020A01S-GAT
BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI During the First 2,000 Km (1,200 Miles)
No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following recommen­dations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55 mph). o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, de-
press the accelerator pedal fully.
1- 1

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly. In too high a gear that the engine "bucks" shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes
at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km
(1,200 miles) of operation.
B030A01A-AAT
KEYS
SSA1030A
For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in case you acci­dentally lock one key inside the car.
B030B01S-AAT
Record Your Key Number
SSA1030B
A code number is stamped on the key number plate that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key number plate should be kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should also be recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you can supply the key num­ber.
B880A01A-GAT
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (If Installed)
The immobilizer system is an anti-theft device, designed to deter automobile theft.
B880B03A-GAT
Keys
AX10020A-1
All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are operated by the same key. However, since it is possible to lock the doors without the use of the key, care should be exercised to ensure that the key does not become locked inside the vehicle by mistake.
NOTE:
If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine.
1- 2
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B880C02A-GAT
Key Numbers
AX10030A-1
The vehicle key number is recorded upon a metal tag attached to the keys when the vehicle is first delivered to you. The key number should be recorded and kept in a safe place in case the need to order further keys arises. New keys are available from any Hyundai dealer by quoting the relevant key num­ber. In the interest of security, the metal tag attached to the keys which bears the key number should be removed from the key ring after you receive your new vehicle. In addition, key numbers can­not be provided by Hyundai for security reasons. If you need additional keys or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys.
B880D01GK-GAT
Limp Home Procedures
In case the immobilizer system is out of order, you cannot start the engine without the limp home procedures with ignition key. The following procedure is how to start the en­gine with the function of the limp home. (0, 1, 2, 3 as a sample password).
NOTE:
You can get the limp home password when the vehicle is first delivered to you. If you do not have the password, consult your autho­rized Hyundai dealer.
1. To set the password, you may turn the ignition key "ON" and then turn it "OFF" according to the digit numbers. For example, turn the igni­tion key once for digit number "1", and twice for "2", and so on. However, for the digit number "0", you must turn the ignition key for 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number of digits by following the same procedures 1 and 2.
4. If all of four digits have been tried success­fully, from this time, you have to start your engine within 30 seconds. If you start your engine after 30 seconds, your engine will not start.
After doing the limp home procedure, you have to consult with your authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
If you cannot start your engine in spite of limp home procedure, have your vehicle towed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

DOOR LOCKS WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore you drive away (especially if there are children in the car), be sure that all the doors are securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be inadvertently opened from the inside. This helps ensure that the doors will not be opened acciden­tally. Also, when combined with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants from being ejected from the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
o In case of accident, the door is unlocked
automatically (If installed).

WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the event of a collision or a sudden stop, both the driver's and passenger's seatbacks should always be in an upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags in a frontal
collision may be reduced significantly when the seat backs are reclined. There is greater risk that the driver and passenger will slide under the seat belt which may result in seri­ous injury if a crash occurs when the seatbacks are reclined. The seat belt cannot provide full protection to an occupant if the seat back is reclined.
B080D02A-AAT

BEFORE FOLDING THE REAR SEATS
B099A01GK
In order to prevent the shoulder belt from being damaged while folding the rear seat, the shoulder belt must be passed through the hanger to keep it out of the way.
CAUTION:
Seat belts must be removed from the hanger when in use.
B110A02S-AAT
FOLDING REAR SEATBACKS
HGK108
The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
o To unlock the seatback, push the seatback
locking button, then pull forward on the seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked into position by pulling and pushing on the top of the seatback.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwise be accommodated. Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seat back while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in injury in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
B140A01S-AAT
REAR SEAT WARNING
B140A01GK
For the safety of all passengers, luggage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. In addition, do not place objects on
the rear shelf as they may move forward during braking or in an accident and strike vehicle passengers.
B150A02A-GAT
SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
All occupants of the vehicle should wear their seat belts at all times. Indeed, your province's laws may require that some or all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in an accident will be decreased if this elementary safety precaution is observed. In addition, the following recommendations are made:
B150B01A-GAT
Infant or Small Child
Some countries require the use of child restraint systems for infants and small children. Whether this is required by law or not, it is strongly recommended that a child restraint seat or infant restraint system be used for infants or small children weighing less than 18 kilograms (40 pounds).
B150C02A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of posi­tion. Children are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely restrained by the available lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Chil­dren under the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
B150D01A-AAT
Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap belt portion should be placed as low and snugly as possible on the hips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a physi­cian.
1- 11
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is neces­sary, you should consult a physician for recom­mendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could increase the severity of injuries in case of an accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the per­son is lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down when your vehicle is in motion can be dan­gerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts can't do their job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it with great force, receiving serious neck or other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly.
B160A01S-GAT
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible.
B160C01A-AAT
Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric.
B160D01A-AAT
When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been in­volved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional questions concerning seat belt operation should be direct­ed to your Hyundai Dealer.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT SHOULDER BELT (If installed)
HGK109
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum comfort and safety. If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near your neck, you will not be getting the most effective protection. The shoulder portion should be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and midway over your shoulder nearest the door and not your neck. To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up. To lower it, push it down while pressing the height adjuster button. Release the button to lock the anchor into posi­tion. Try sliding the height adjuster to make sure that it has locked into the position.
WARNING:
o The height adjuster must be in the locked
position when the vehicle is moving.
o The misadjustment of height of the shoul-
der belt could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in a crash.

SEAT BELTS 3-Point System with Emergency Locking Retractor To Fasten Your Belt
FUA1090P
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly. Check to make sure that the belt is properly locked and that the belt is not twisted.
B200A01S-GAT
Adjusting Your Seat Belt
FUA1090Q
You should place the belt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist. If the belt is located too high on your body, you could slide under it in case of accident or a sudden stop. This could result of death, serious injury or property dam­age. Both arms should not be under or over the belt. Rather, one should be over and the other under, as shown in the illustration. Never wear the seat belt under the arm nearest the door.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed)
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re­strained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/
1- 14
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
shoulder belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on
the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide adequate security in an acci­dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's
arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an acci­dent, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint is not anchored prop-
erly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in­creases.

Installation on the Outboard Rear Seats
On outboard rear seats
B230G01GK
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. Install the child restraint system, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child restraint system and the shoulder portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraint system is securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme­diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child restraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.

Securing a Child Restraint System with "ISOFIX" System and "Tether Anchor­age" System (If installed)
B230F01GK
ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the stan­dard adult seat belt to secure the seat in the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and positive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in accordance with the requirements of ECE-R44. For your Hyundai, the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo / Römer ISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved according to the re­quirement ECE-R44. This seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai and is recommended for your Hyundai.
NOTE:
At present, this seat is the only one comply­ing with that provision. In case that other manufacturers will furnish proof of a respec­tive certification, Hyundai is going to evalu­ate this seat carefully and will give a recom­mendation provided that seat complies to the law. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in this respect.
ISOFIX Anchor
On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located a pair of ISOFIX anchorage points together with a top tether mount­ing on the luggage compartment. During the installing, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you can hear it click­ing (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point in the luggage-compartment. The installing and the use of a child-seat has to be done according to the installing-manual, which is added to the ISOFIX­seat.
ISOFIX Anchor Position Indicator
B230D02GK
NOTE:
An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed if the seat has a vehicle-specific approval ac­cording to ECE-R44. Before using the ISOFIX­child-seat, which was bought for another car, ask your Hyundai-dealer whether this seat­type is approved and recommended for your Hyundai.
To secure the child restraint seat
HGK261
1. To engage the child restraint seat to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audible "click" sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Refer to "Securing a Child Restraint System with the Tether Anchorage System" on page 1-15.

WARNING:
o There is no center rear seating position. o Do not install a child restraint seat at the
center of the rear seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left and right out­board of the rear seat. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX attachments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint seat properly in the center of the rear seat and may break, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re-
straint to a child restraint lower anchor­age point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible
child restraint seat only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (If Installed)
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occu­pant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags.
B180B01S
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a similiar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops sudden-

B180B01GK
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre­tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre­tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac-
tivated, 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 conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci­dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS
airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat belt also.
o If there is some function in the pre-
tensioner seat belt circuit, the warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction in the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate or illuminates continuously when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi­nates while the vehicle is being driven,
please have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre­tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa­tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the
pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, in­spect, replace, service or repair the pre­tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent acti­vation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS) (If Installed)
Driver's Airbag
B240A01GK
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the ornament in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas­senger with additional protection than that of­fered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags
only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in light collisions in which protection can be provided by the seat belt alone.
Rear impact
Side Impact
Rollover
B240A02GK
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not de­ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy­ment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as pos-
sible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
1- 20
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the
front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teenag­ers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types
of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
B240B01GK-GAT
SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to re­quire airbag deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.
CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a vehicle with a passenger's air bag. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.
B240B02L
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further open­ing of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags.
1- 21
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B240B03L
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop­erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
Passanger's Airbag

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air fresh­ener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel pad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instrument panel pad or air ventila­tor), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.
FUA1115A
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a
loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. How­ever, the fine dust generated during airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni-
tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on or illuminates continuously when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a
battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the igni­tion key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi­nate.
