LATCH anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are lo- cated in the left and right outboard 2nd rear seating positions. Their locations are shown in the illustra- tion. There is no lower anchor provided for the center rear seating position.

! WARNING:

o A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint is not properly anchored. Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. o Never install a child restraint using the lower anchors at the center posi- tion of the rear seat. In a crash, the LATCH anchors may break if a car seat is improperly placed in the cen- ter position resulting in serious or fatal injuries. Only place a LATCH or LATCH-compatible child seat in the left or right out-board rear seating positions (as shown) to the appropri- ate LATCH anchors provided.

WARNING:

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

o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH” system to install a child restraint sys- tem in the rear seat, all unused ve- hicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted be- hind 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 strangula- tion and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint.

B230D04CM-AAT Securing the Child Restraint Seat with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor" system

OCM051007L

Some child seat manufacturers make safety seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH- compatible child seats. LATCH stands for "Lower anchors and Tethers for Children". These seats include two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two lower anchors at specific seating positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat; the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether an- chor point. For information on using tether straps, refer to “Installing a Child Restraint Seat with the “Tether Anchorage” system”.

Child restraint symbols are located on the left and right rear seat backs to indicate the position of the lower anchors for child restraints.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's in- structions to properly install safety seats with LATCH or LATCH-compatible attach- ments.

Once you have installed the LATCH child restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop- erly attached to the lower and tether an- chors. 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 forward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place.

CAUTION:

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

! WARNING:

o 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 instruc- tions for installation and use.

o Adjust the rear seatback in a semi- reclined position from the upright po- sition, before installing the Child Re- straint Seat. With the seatback in the proper reclining angle, push and pull the child restraint seat in different directions to be sure it is secure.

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

B180B01CM-AAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt

OMG035300

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 fron- tal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated together with the air bags.

! WARNING:

o If the retractor is not in the Automatic Locking mode, the child restraint can move when your vehicle turns or stops suddenly. A child can be seriously injured or killed if the child restraint is not properly anchored to the car, in- cluding setting the retractor to the Automatic Locking mode.

o Do not install any child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side air bag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child re- straint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.

o Before installing Child Restraint Sys- tems, refer to safety notices for Cur- tain Air Bag systems beginning on page 1-58 this manual. Whenever in- stalling child restraints, use only ap- proved devices and refer to the "Child Restraint System" section to ensure correct installation and occupant pro- tection is maximized.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. In certain frontal collisions, the pre- tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. If the system senses excessive seat belt tension on the driver or passenger's seat belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will release some of the pressure on the af- fected seat belt.

! WARNING:

To obtain maximum benefit from a pre- tensioner seat belt: 1. The seatbelt must be work correctly and adjusted to the proper position (see pages 1-30 and 1-31). Please read and follow all of the important information and precautions about your vehicle’s occupant safety fea- tures – including seat belts and ad- vanced air bags – that are provided in this manual.

2. Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 42

NOTE: o Both

the driver's and

front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal col- lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated together with the air bags. The pre-tensioners will not be acti- vated 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 passen- ger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not haz- ardous.

o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged peri- ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac- tivated.

CAUTION:

AIR BAG

o The sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the pre- tensioner seat belt. The SRS air bag 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 air bag. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illumi- nate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, remains illumi- nated after approximately 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 air bag system as soon as possible.

! WARNING:

o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper- ate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts and seat belt buckles 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 acti- vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several min- utes 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 or buckle 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 not to strike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt and buckle assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.

o Always wear the seat belts when driv-

ing or riding in a motor vehicle.

DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG

According to the impact severity, driver's seating position, the SRSCM(SRS Con- trol Module) controls the air bag 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 presence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's air bag under certain conditions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classification Sys- tem" later in this section.

The SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather information 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 seat position sensors, which are installed on the seat track, determine if the seats are fore or aft of a reference position. Similarly, the seat belt usage 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, whether or not the seat belts are fastened, and how severe the impact is.

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

B240A02CM-AAT Driver's Air bag

OCM051008L

Your Hyundai is equipped with an ad- vanced Supplemental Restraint (Air bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and passenger seating positions. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the air bag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of air bags installed under the pad covers in the cen- ter 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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

45

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

o Advanced air bags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro- vide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front air bags are not intended to deploy in light colli- sions in which protection can be pro- vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt. o If you are considering modification of your vehicle due to a disability, please contact the Hyundai Customer As- sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

! WARNING:

o Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat position sensor and cause the air bag to de- ploy at a different level than should be provided.

o Do not place any objects underneath the front seats which could damage the seat position sensor or interfere with the occupant classification sys- tem.

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

CAUTION:

AIR BAG

If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illumi- nate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS air bag warning light is connected with the seat position sensor. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after coming on for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the seat position sensor and the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 46

! WARNING:

Always use seat belts and child restraints – every trip, every time, everyone! Air bags 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 air bag. Even with advanced air bags, im- properly and unbelted occupants can be severely injured when the air bag in- flates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, air bags and occupant safety contained 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 1-33).

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 air bags can injure occupants improperly posi- tioned in the front seats

! WARNING:

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

o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close

to the front or side air bags

o Never lean against the door or center console – always sit in an upright position

o Do not allow a passenger to ride in the front seat when the “Passenger Air bag OFF” indicator is illuminated, be- cause the air bag will not deploy in the event of a moderate or severe frontal crash.

o Never place objects over or near any air bag module (front or side impact air bags), because these objects can injure passengers in a crash

o Never place covers, blankets or after- market seat warmers on the passen- ger seat as these may interfere with the occupant classification system

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

WARNING:

o If the SRS air bag warning light (see pg 1-68) remains illuminated while the vehicle is being driven, have an au- thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the air bag system as soon as possible. o Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized Hyundai dealer replace the air bag immediately after deploy- ment.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags 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 air bags will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the air bags will only deploy once. Seat belts must be worn at all times.

!

WARNING:

o Front air bags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, air bags will not deploy in frontal crashes be- low the deployment threshold.

Rear impact

Rollover

B240A02CM o Move your seat as far back as prac- tical from the front air bags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle. You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags. Improperly positioned driv- ers and passengers can be severely injured by inflating air bags.

! WARNING:

o No objects should be placed over or near the air bag 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 air bags to deploy.

o If the air bags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer. Deployed air bags 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 air bags 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 air bag deployment in case of an accident.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

47

! WARNING:

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 properly 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 air bag 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 air bag while the vehicle is in motion.

o Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash. All occupants should sit up- right in their seats with their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the ignition key is removed.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 48

! WARNING:

o The SRS air bag 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 air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal in- juries.

o Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the air bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing aftermarket bumper guards, side steps or replacing a bumper with non- genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicles collision and air bag deployment performance.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) 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 SRI should go out.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

49

B240B01L

The air bag 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 air bags.

B240B02L Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the air bags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.

B240B03L A fully inflated air bag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reduc- ing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag imme- diately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility, and the abil- ity to steer or operate other controls.

CAUTION:

When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instrument panel 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 If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine dust released in the vehicle. These condi- tions are normal and are not hazard- ous - the air bags are packed in this fine powder. The dust generated dur- ing air bag deployment may cause skin or eye irritation as well as aggra- vate asthma for some persons. Al- ways wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the air bags were deployed.

WARNING:

o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not illuminate or continuously remains on after illumi- nating for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" po- sition, or after the engine is started, illuminates while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately in- spected by your Hyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or discon- nect a battery terminal, turn the igni- tion key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignition key. Never re- move 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.

o The instrument panel air bag warning light is interconnected with the occu- pant classification system.

Occupant Classification System Your vehicle is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger's seat. The Occupant Classifi- cation system is designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated front pas- senger and determine if the passenger's front air bag should be enabled (may in- flate or not). The driver's front air bag is not affected or controlled by the Occupant Classification System.

If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person that the system determines to be of adult size, 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 ex- tended and their feet on the floor), the passenger air bag off indicator will be turned off (The "OFF" will not illuminate) and the front passenger's air bag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes. You will find the passenger air bag off indicator on the center facia panel. When this indicator is ON, (The "OFF" will illumi- nate) the front passenger's air bag will not deploy. The side air bag will not deploy if the front passenger seat is unoccupied. The side air bag may deploy if the front seat is occupied by a small occupant. The fol- lowing table summarizes the functioning of the system depending on the front pas- senger seat occupant.

! 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 air bag system senses less weight than if the occupant were seated properly (sitting 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).

o This condition can result in an adult potentially being misclassified and illumination of the passenger air bag off indicator.

WARNING:

Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the passenger air bag off indicator is illuminated, because the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash. If the passenger air bag off indicator remains illuminated after the passenger repositions themselves prop- erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai recommends that passenger move to the rear seat because the passenger's front air bag will not deploy.

NOTE: The passenger air bag off indicator illu- minates for about 4 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion or after the engine is started. If the front passenger seat is occupied, the occupant classification sensor will then classify the front passenger within ap- proximately 10 seconds after the igni- tion is turned on.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

55

CAUTION:

If the occupant classification system is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate because the passenger's front air bags 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 illuminate and the passenger's front air bags will not inflate in frontal impact crashes even if there is adult occupant in the front passenger's seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, remains illuminated after approximately 6 sec- onds 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 classification system and the SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 56

! WARNING:

o Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupation classification system, never install a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A deploying air bag can forcefully strike a child resulting in serious inju- ries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear seat. Children too large for child re- straints 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 (sitting upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cush- ion with their seat belt on, legs com- fortably extended and their feet on the floor), have that person sit in the rear seat.

! WARNING:

o If you change the weight on the front passenger seat just after sit-in or re- start of the engine, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be turned on or off for a few seconds, disabling or enabling the passenger air bags. After the initial stage of about 30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle on and off.

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 children 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 Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized Hyundai dealer replace the air bag immediately after deploy- ment.

Side impact sensor

OCM052212L

Important Safety Notes on the Side Impact Air bag System Following are a number of safety points concerning this system which should al- ways be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident.

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

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

57

WARNING:

o The side impact air bag is supplemen- tal to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The air bags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occu- pants.

o For best protection from the side im- pact air bag system and to avoid be- ing injured by the deploying side im- pact air bag, both front seat occu- pants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. 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 airbag system.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 58

WARNING:

o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact air bag. o Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air bag and your- self.

o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may be- come dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.

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

B990C02JM-AAT Curtain Air bag

Curtain Air bag

Important Safety Notes for Curtain Air Bag Systems Following are 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, al- ways refer to the "Child Restraint System" section to ensure correct installation and occupant protection is maximized.

o Make sure that the occupant does not have any body parts (head, arms & legs) protruding outside the restrain- ing system. If an inflating air bag was to strike an infant child on the head, it may cause serious injury.

o Ensure the opening for the Curtain Air Bag System remains unobstructed at all times, so that the air bags can inflate properly if needed.

OCM052213

Curtain air bags 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 occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.

The curtain air bags are designed to de- ploy only during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain air bags 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 Do not install any accessories or children’s toys in the Curtain Air Bag 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.

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

! WARNING:

o The built in coat hooks should only be used for light weight clothing. Ensure that clothing pockets are free of any heavy or sharp objects. When using coat hooks, do not hang clothes on coat hangers.

o The space between the occupant and the curtain air bag 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 garage door remote control, pens, compact disc pocket, air fresheners or the like. These objects may cause injury if the Curtain Air Bag is deployed.

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

B240C01CM-AAT SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance free and there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder Indicator) does not illuminate, or continu- ously remains on, have your vehicle im- mediately 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. Improper handling of the air bag system may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Never tamper with or disconnect the air bag system sensors & wiring. You could cause the air bag to inflate or the system may fail to operate which may result in fatal personal injury.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 60

1JBH3051L

! 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 by an air bag 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.

! WARNING:

o For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the air bag covers and proper deployment of the system.

o No objects should be placed over or near the air bag 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 air bags to inflate.

o If the air bags 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 result in injury, due to accidental inflation of the air bags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.

WARNING:

o If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety pre- cautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precau- tions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury. o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on the floor, don't try to start the engine; have the car towed to an authorized Hyundai dealer. o Do not replace bumper or the bumper guard with the one other than Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise, it can ad- versely affect SRS performance and lead to an increased risk of injury.

B240D02JM-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 mov- ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt during a crash or emergency 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 restrain 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 provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

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

o Keep occupants away from the air bag covers. All occupants should sit upright, fully back in their seats with their seat belts on and their feet on the floor. If occupants are too close to the air bag covers, they could be injured if the air bags inflate.

o Do not attach or place objects on or near the air bag covers. Any object attached to or placed on the front or side impact air bag covers could interfere with the proper operation of the air bags. o Do not modify the front seats. Modifi- cation of the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components or side impact air bags.

o Do not place items under the front seats. Placing items under the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components and wiring har- nesses.

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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

61

! WARNING:

o Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to a deploying air bag, 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.

Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your Air bag-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 air bag system.

Malfunction Indicator Light

This light illuminates when there is a mal- function of an exhaust gas related compo- nent, and the system is not functioning properly so that the exhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied. This light will also illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and then it will go out in a few seconds after the engine is started. If it illuminates while driving, or does not illumi- nate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, take your car to your nearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have the system checked.

B265W01JM-AAT

TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring system) malfunction indicator

TPMS malfunction indicator illuminates for 3 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the warning light does not illuminates, or remains when you turned the ignition key to the "ON" position, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not working porperly. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The warning light also comes on and stays on when there is a malfunction with the Tire Pressure Monitor- ing System. If this happens, the system may not monitor the tire pressure. Have the sys- tem checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING:

o The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external factors.

o If you feel any vehicle instability, im- mediately take your foot off the accel- erator and slowly move to a safe po- sition off the road.

B260W01CM-AAT

Low tire pressure telltale

Low tire pressure position telltale

The low tire pressure and position telltales illuminate for 3 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the warning lights do not illuminate, or remain illuminate after the 3-second lamp check when you turned the ignition key to the "ON" position, the Tire Pressure Moni- toring System is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. This warning lights will also illuminate if one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. The low tire pressure posi- tion telltale light will indicate which tire is significantly under-inflated by illuminating the corresponding position light. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible. If the warning lights illuminate while driving, reduce vehicle speed immediately and stop the vehicle.

Avoid hard braking and overcorrecting at the steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. If you have a flat tire, the Low tire Pressure and Position Telltales will illuminate. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire(see page 3-12) Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres- sure sensor mounted inside the tire be- hind the valve stems. You must use TPMS specific wheels. IT is recommended that you always have tires serviced by your Hyundai dealer or qualified technician. After you replace the flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure and Position Telltales remain illuminated. This is normal; the system is not monitoring the spare tire pressure. Check the spare tire pressure to make sure it is correct.

! WARNING:

Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and can contribute to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distances. Continued driving on low pressure tires may cause the tires to overheat and fail.

The low fuel level warning light illuminates when the fuel tank is approaching empty. When it illuminates, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level warning light on or with the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage the catalytic converter.

WARNING:

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 a serious injury or death.

Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light should illuminate 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 illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light illuminate 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 indi- cates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci- fications 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 experienced, 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 malfunc- tion. 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 half of the brake system working. If the brakes malfunction 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.

Parking brake warning chime (if installed) The parking brake warning chime sounds to remind you that the parking brake is applied when your are driving above 6mph(10km/h). Always release the park- ing brake before you drive.
