BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)
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 1,200 miles (2,000
km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
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 quick-
ly or depress the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), 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 min-
utes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.
B030B01S-AAT
Record Your Key Number
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.
B040A01A-AAT
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 assure that 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.
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.

ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEATS
WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. This could result in loss
of control, or an accident which may cause
death, serious injury, or property damage.
B080B01A-AAT
Adjusting Seat Forward and Rearward
To move the seat toward the front or rear, pull
the lock release lever upward. This will release
the seat on its track so you can move it forward
or rearward to the desired position. When you
find the position you want, release the lever and
slide the seat forward or rearward on its track
until it locks into the desired position and cannot
be moved further.
B080C01A-AAT
Adjusting Seatback Angle

your weight off it, then pull up on the recliner
control lever at the outside edge of the seat.
Now lean back until the desired seatback angle
is achieved. To lock the seatback into position,
release the recliner control lever.
WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the
event of a collision or a sudden stop, both
the driver and passenger seatbacks should
always be in an upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags may be
reduced significantly when the seatbacks
are reclined. There is greater risk that the
driver and passenger will slide under the
belt which may result in serious injury if a
crash occurs when the seatbacks are re-

Headrests are designed to help reduce the risk
of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower it,
push it down while pressing the lock knob.
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident, the headrest should be adjusted
so the top of the headrest is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's ears.
The use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the head-
rests removed as severe injury to an
occupant may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle
is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-16. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag
system. State laws may require that some or
all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts.
The possibility of increased injury or severity of injury in an accident will be increased
if this elementary safety precaution is not
observed. In addition, the following recommendations are made:
B150B01F-AAT
Infant or Small Child
All states require small children to use proper
restraints. The child restraint seat or infant
restraint system must be placed in the rear
seat and used for infants or small children
weighing less than 40 pounds. Information about
the use of such restraints begins on page 1-12.
Such restraints must only be used in the rear
seat.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants
and children. In a collision, an unrestrained
B110A02S-AAT
FOLDING REAR SEATBACKS
(If Installed)
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.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Do not
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.

child can become a "missile" inside the car.
The force required to hold a child on your
lap could be so great that you could not
hold the child. Any child riding in the vehicle
should always be in a proper restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Small children are best protected in an accident when properly restrained in the rear
seat by a child restraint system that meets
the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight. Check the label on the child restraint for this information. See page 1-12.
B150C01A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should 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 move the belt out of position. If
the larger child (over age 13) is in the front seat,
the child should be securely restrained by the
seat belt. Under no circumstances should the
child be allowed to stand or kneel on the seat.
Children are afforded the most safety in the
event of an accident when they are restrained
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.
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
by a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
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 safety
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 there, not at your
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
safety belt properly. See page 1-11.

SEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System
with Emergency Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
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 portion 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, 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.
B160A01A-AAT
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.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat.
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.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Combination Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat positions to help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Although a combination retractor is also
installed in the front passenger seat position,
Hyundai strongly recommends that children always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front seat of
the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features of
both an emergency locking retractor seat belt
and an automatic locking retractor seat belt. 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. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as
driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the installation of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend. (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type)
NOTE:
Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated passengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that
seated passengers use the emergency locking feature for improved convenience. The
automatic locking function is intended to
facilitate child restraint installation. To convert from the automatic locking feature to
the emergency locking operation mode, allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.
NOTE:
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will flash and the
warning chime will sound for approximately
six seconds.
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-
ed belt can't do its job as well. In a
collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

To Release the Seat Belt
The seat belt is released by pressing the release
button in the locking buckle. When it is released,
the belt should automatically draw back into the
retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to be sure
it is not twisted, then try again.
WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion as low
as possible and snugly across your hips,
not on your waist. If the lap belt is located
too high on your waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of a collision.
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.
FUA1090R
(generally children younger than four gears
and/or weighing less than 40 Lbs.), you must
put them in a child restraint system (safety
seat).
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
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 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 system
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

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be restrained to minimize
the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
than in the front seat. Larger children 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

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 lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder never
across the neck. Moving the child closer
to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap
belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt must
always be positioned as low as possible
the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, we recommend 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. Before purchasing a booster seat,
make sure that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and that it is satisfactory for
use with this vehicle.
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
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.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
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.
To install a child restraint system in the rear
seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely from
its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will engage
the seat belt retractor automatic locking feature,
which allows the seat belt to retract but not
extend. 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 can not interfere with the child's head
or neck. Also, double check to be sure that the
retractor has engaged the automatic locking
feature by trying to extend webbing out of the
retractor. If the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode, the belt will be locked. 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
B230G01F-AAT
Installation on Rear Seats
YR10400B
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 in any seating position, 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:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side
supplemental 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.
Rear seats
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.

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 belt or 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

2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
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. The
pre-tensioners will be activated under
these conditions even if the seat belts
are not being worn at the time of the
collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, 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 Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pretensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will
blink for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" or "ACC" positions, and then it
should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when

B240A01F-AAT
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM "SRS"
SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and the
front passenger with additional protection when
used together with the seat belt, in case of a
frontal impact.
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. In addition, 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 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 inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
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
(teenages 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

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 airbag pad cover in the

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 Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Side Airbag Module
- Passenger's Side Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
FUA1112A
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 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.
The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
B240B04A
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

FUA1115A
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility.
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.
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. Be sure to 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
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the
SRS SRI does not come 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, or 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.
B240C02A-AAT
SRS Care
o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be
inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in
10 years after the date that the vehicle was
manufactured.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as re-
moving, installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel must be performed by a
qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.
B240C01A
WARNING:
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
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, 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.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
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 inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
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 If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can give
you the necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform
the new owner of these important points
and make certain that this manual is
transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have the
car towed to an authorized Hyundai dealer.
