CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 20
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.

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 Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in light collisions in which protection can
be provided by the seat belt alone.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes. In addition, airbags will not de-
ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold speed.
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 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.
