B230D02MC The ISOFIX anchors are located between the seatback and the seat cushion of the rear seat left and right outboard seating positions.

WARNING:

o Never mount more than one child restraint to a single tether or to a single lower anchorage point. The increased load caused by multiple seats may cause the tethers or an- chorage points to break, causing serious injury or death.

o When using the vehicle’s "ISOFIX" system to install a child restraint system in the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched se- curely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be re- tracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint.

!

CAUTION:

Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to get scratched or pinched by the ISOFIX- seat latch and ISOFIX anchor during the installation.

! WARNING:

A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint is not properly anchored to the car and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for in- stallation and use.

B230D03MC Follow the child seat manufacturer's in- structions to properly install safety seats with ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible attach- ments. Once you have installed the ISOFIX child restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop- erly attached to the ISOFIX and tether anchors. Also, test the safety seat before you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat for- ward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place.

B230G02MC-AAT

Child Restraint System Installation on Outboard Rear Seats

B230G02MC To install a child restraint system in the outboard 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 shoul- der portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot 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 web- bing 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 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 system, read the instructions sup- plied by the child restraint system manufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.

! WARNING:

o If the retractor is not in the Auto- matic Locking mode, the child re- straint can move when your vehicle turns or stops suddenly. A child can be seriously injured or killed if the child restraint is not properly an- chored to the car, including setting the retractor to the Automatic Lock- ing mode.

o Do not install any child restraint sys- tem 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.

o Before installing Child Restraint Sys- tem to vehicles fitted with Curtain Airbags, always refer to safety no- tices for Curtain Airbag systems on this manual. Whenever installing child restraints, use only approved devices and refer to "Child Restraint System" to ensure correct installation and oc- cupant protection is maximized.

B180C02MC-AAT

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.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into posi- tion. In certain frontal collisions, the pre- tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con- sists mainly of the following components. Their locations are shown in the illustra- tion.

1. SRS airbag warning light 2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly 3. SRS control module

NOTE: o Both

the driver's and

front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated 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. The pre-tensioners will not be acti- vated if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 40

o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may ap- pear 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 peri- ods. Wash your hands and face thor- oughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti- vated.

CAUTION:

o The sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre- tensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no mal- function of the SRS airbag.

If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, re- mains illuminated after approxi- mately 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as pos- sible.

! WARNING:

o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner 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 assem- bly mechanisms become hot during activation. Do not touch the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.

WARNING:

o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts your- self. This must be done by an autho- rized 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, ser- vice or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improp- er operation or inadvertent activa- tion and serious injury.

o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag Driver's Front Airbag

B240A01MC Your Hyundai is equipped with an ad- vanced Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover 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 passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone in case of a frontal impact of sufficient sever- ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor- mation about the driver's and front passenger's seat position, the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage and impact severity.

The driver's and front passenger's seat track position sensors, which are installed on the seat track, determine if the seats are fore or aft of a reference position. The seat belt buckle sensors determine if the driver and front passenger's seat belts are fastened. These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment based on how close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel, how close the passenger's seat is to the instrument panel, whether or not the seat belts are fastened, and how severe the impact is.

The advanced SRS offers the ability to control the airbag inflation with two lev- els. A first stage level is provided for moderate-severity impacts. A second stage level is provided for more severe impacts.

According to the impact severity, seating position and seat belt usage, the SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls the airbag inflation. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger's seat. The occupant classification system detects the pres- ence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's airbag under certain condi- tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas- sification System" later in this section.

! WARNING:

o Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat track position sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at a different level than should be provided.

o Do not place any objects underneath the front seats as they could dam- age the seat track position sensor or interfere with the occupant classifi- cation system.

o Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the front seat. These may cause a malfunc- tion of the seat track position sen- sor.

NOTE: o Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the topside of the sun visor.

o Advanced airbags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro- vide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front airbags are not intended to deploy in collisions in which sufficient protection can be provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.

o If you are considering modification of your vehicle due to a disability, please contact the Hyundai Cus- tomer Assistance Center at 1-800- 633-5151.

CAUTION:

AIR BAG

If a seat track position sensor or an occupant classification system is not working properly, the SRS airbag warn- ing light on the instrument panel will illuminate because the SRS airbag warning light is connected with the seat track position sensor and the occupant classification system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, remains illuminated after ap- proximately 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as possible.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 44

! WARNING:

Always use seat belts and child restraints – every trip, every time, everyone! Airbags inflate with considerable force and in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occupants in proper position to obtain maximum benefit from the airbag. Even with advanced airbags, improp- erly and unbelted occupants can be se- verely injured when the airbag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety con- tained in this manual.

To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the maximum safety benefit from your restraint system: o Never place a child in any child or booster seat in the front seat (see child restraints 1-31).

o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride.

o Front and side impact airbags can injure occupants improperly posi- tioned in the front seats.

! WARNING:

o Move your seat as far back as prac- tical from the front airbags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close

to the front or side airbags.

o Never lean against the door or cen- ter console – always sit in an upright position.

o Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the “Pas- senger Airbag OFF” indicator is illu- minated, because the airbag will not deploy in the event of a moderate or severe frontal crash.

o Never place objects over or near any airbag module (front or side im- pact airbags), because these objects can injure passengers in a crash.

o Never place covers, blankets or aftermarket seat warmers on the passenger seat as these may inter- fere with the occupant classification system.

! WARNING:

o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiring or other components. Injuries could result from inadvertent deploy- ment or failure of the airbag to de- ploy in a crash.

o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg 1-64) remains illuminated while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the airbag system as soon as pos- sible.

o Airbags can only be used once – have an authorized Hyundai dealer replace the airbag immediately after deployment.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the front airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the im- pact angle is within a range as mea- sured from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The front airbags will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Seat belts must be worn at all times.

! WARNING:

! WARNING:

o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steer- ing 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 replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer. Deployed airbags WILL NOT inflate again and will provide no pro- tection in subsequent collisions.

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 deployment of the airbags or by ren- dering the SRS inoperative.

o Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant classification sys- tem, 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 deploy- ment in case of an accident.

o Children younger than 13 years must always be properly restrained in the rear seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If a child over 13 must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be prop- erly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.

o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants in- cluding the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seat- ing position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unneces- sarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.

! WARNING:

o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, front airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deployment threshold.

o Move your seat as far back as prac- tical from the front airbags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle. You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbags. Improperly positioned drivers and passengers can be se- verely injured by inflating airbags.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 46

! WARNING:

o Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash. All occupants should sit upright with the seat back in an up- right position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the ignition key is removed.

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 seri- ous or fatal injuries.

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele- ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter- mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deploy- ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy- ment.

The SRS "AIRBAG" warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the "AIRBAG" warn- ing light 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 suffi- ciently severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the front airbags.

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.

o When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument clus- ter nor on the instrument panel sur- face. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (in- strument cluster, instrument panel or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air fresh- ener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.

Passenger's Front Airbag

B240B01MC-A

WARNING:

o If an airbag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine dust released in the vehicle. These con- ditions are normal and are not haz- ardous - the airbags are packed in this fine powder. The dust generated during airbag deployment may cause skin or eye irritation as well as ag- gravate asthma for some persons. Always wash all exposed skin areas 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 "AIRBAG" warning light does not illuminate, or continuously remains on after illuminating 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.

B240B05L

CAUTION:

o Do not install or place any accesso- ries (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a ve- hicle with a passenger's airbag. Such objects may become dangerous pro- jectiles and cause injury if the passenger's airbag inflates.

!

WARNING:

o Before you replace a fuse or discon- nect a battery terminal, turn the igni- tion key to the "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key. Never re- move or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light to illuminate.

! WARNING:

o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated correctly (for example: seat excessively reclined, leaning on the center console, or hips shifted for- ward in the seat) can cause a condi- tion where the advanced frontal airbag system senses less weight than if the occupant were seated properly (sitting upright with the seatback in an upright position, cen- tered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably ex- tended and their feet on the floor). This condition can result in an adult potentially being misclassified and illumination of the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator.

B990A05O - NEVER place feet on the dash-

board.

WARNING:

o Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the “PAS- SENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, because the airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator remains illuminated after the passenger repositions them- selves properly and the car is re- started, Hyundai recommends that passenger move to the rear seat because the passenger's front airbag will not deploy.

o The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will not change according to the occupants posture after the vehicle has been running for 30 sec- onds. Front seat passengers must stay properly seated to avoid seri- ous injury from a deploying airbag. For more information see page 1-49.

NOTE: The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi- cator illuminates for about 4 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started. If the front passenger seat is occupied, the occupant classification sensor will then classify the front pas- senger within approximately 10 seconds after the ignition is turned on.

CAUTION:

If the occupant classification system is not working properly, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate because the passenger's front airbags are connected with the occupant classification system. If there is a malfunction of the occupant classi- fication system, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will not illuminate and the passenger's front airbags will inflate in frontal impact crashes even if there is no occupant in the front passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn- ing light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion, remains illuminated after approxi- mately 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the occupant classifica- tion system and the SRS airbag system as soon as possible.

years of age should ride in the rear seat. Children too large for child restraints should use the available lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type of crash, children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.

o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated when the front passenger's seat is occupied by an adult and he/she sits properly (sit- ting upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on the floor), have that person sit in the rear seat.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 54

! WARNING:

o If you change the weight on the front passenger seat just after sit-in or restart of the engine, the "PASSEN- GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be turned on or off for a few seconds, disabling or enabling the passenger airbags. After the initial stage of about 30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle. o Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. Don't place anything on or attach anything such as a blan- ket or after market seat heater to the front passenger seat. This can ad- versely affect the occupant classifi- cation system.

o Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools when occupying the front pas- senger seat. This can adversely af- fect the occupant classification sys- tem.

o Do not use accessory seat covers

on the front seats.

! WARNING:

o Accident statistics show that chil- dren are safer if they are restrained in the rear, as opposed to the front seat. It is recommended that child restraints be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in a rear- facing infant seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.

o Airbags can only be used once – have an authorized Hyundai dealer replace the airbag immediately after deployment.

B990B02MC-AAT

Side Impact Airbag (If Installed)

B990B02LZ Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The side im- pact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING:

o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag. o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself.

o Do not place any objects (an um- brella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact airbag inflates.

o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact airbag that may result in personal injury, avoid im- pact to the side impact sensor when the ignition key is on.

WARNING:

o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. There- fore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in mo- tion. The airbags deploy only in cer- tain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.

o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occu- pants should sit in an upright posi- tion with the seat belt properly fas- tened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed on their laps.

o Do not use any accessory seat cov-

ers. Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the sys- tem.

Curtain Airbag (If Installed)

Curtain Airbag

Important Safety Notes for Curtain Airbag Systems Following is a number of safety points concerning this system which should al- ways be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident.

! WARNING:

o Before installing child restraints , always refer to “Child Restraint Sys- tem” to ensure correct installation and occupant protection is maxi- mized.

o Make sure that the occupant does not have any body parts (head, arms & legs) protruding outside the re- straining system. An inflating airbag that strikes an infant child on the head could cause serious injury.

o Ensure the opening for the Curtain Airbag System remains unob- structed at all times, so that the airbags can inflate properly if needed.

B990C01MC Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors. They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occu- pants and the rear outboard seat occu- pants in certain side impact collisions.

The curtain airbags are designed to de- ploy only during certain side impact col- lisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations, collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover situations.

! WARNING:

o The space between the occupant and the curtain airbag must never be occupied by children, passengers or pets. Occupants should never lean out or have any parts of their body protruding from the window while the engine is running.

o Do not move the sun visor out to cover the side window if there is an item attached to it such as a garage door remote control, pens, air fresh- eners or the like. These objects could cause injury if the Curtain Airbag is deployed.

o Where sun blinds are fitted to the rear doors, these must not obstruct or impair the airbag in any way.

o Do not install any accessories or children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag deployment zones, as this may im- pair the operation of the system or throw parts of them into the vehicle cabin causing injury to occupants if the system is deployed.

! WARNING:

o To maintain the integrity of the Cur- tain Airbag system, any work, re- moval or installation of the airbag and associated components (such as roof lining and side trims) should always be performed by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer.

B240C02NF-AAT

SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. If the SRS "AIRBAG" warning light does not illuminate, or con- tinuously remains on, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Im- proper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

o Do not install a child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat po- sition. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.

o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS perfor- mance 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 sys- tem.

! WARNING:

o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on floor- ing, you shouldn't try to start the engine; have the car towed to an authorized Hyundai dealer.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 58

! WARNING:

o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steer- ing 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 replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could re- sult in injury, due to accidental infla- tion 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 precau- tions and can give you the neces- sary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.

B240D02NF-AAT

Additional Safety Precautions o Never let passengers ride in the cargo area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down back seat. All occupants should sit upright, fully back in their seats with their seat belts on and their feet on the floor.

o Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wear- ing a seat belt during a crash or emer- gency stop can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or out of the vehicle.

o Each seat belt is designed to re- strain one occupant. If more than one person uses the same seat belt, they could be seriously injured or killed in a collision.

o Do not use any accessories on seat belts. Devices claiming to improve oc- cupant comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection pro- vided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Never hold an infant or child on your lap. The infant or child could be seri- ously injured or killed in the event of a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in appropriate child safety seats or seat belts in the rear seat.

Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle. If you modify your vehicle by changing your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.

! WARNING:

o Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle resulting in serious injury or death.

o Always sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with your seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and your feet on the floor.

o Passengers should not place hard or sharp objects between themselves and the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap or in your mouth can result in injuries if an airbag inflates.

o Keep occupants away from the airbag covers. All occupants should sit up- right, fully back in their seats with their seat belts on and their feet on the floor. If occupants are too close to the airbag covers, they could be injured if the airbags inflate.

o Do not attach or place objects on or near the airbag covers. Any object attached to or placed on the front or side impact airbag covers could inter- fere with the proper operation of the airbags.

o Do not modify the front seats. Modi- fication of the front seats could inter- fere with the operation of the supple- mental restraint system sensing com- ponents or side impact airbags.

o 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.

CAUTION:

If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious en- gine damage may result. The oil pres- sure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor- mal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the en- gine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by a Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.

CAUTION:

If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in serious injury or death.

Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light should come on when the park- ing brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the parking brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts.

If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experi- enced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service. Your Hyundai 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 car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
