A040000AFDThis vehicle is equipped with an eventdata recorder (EDR). The main pur-pose of an EDR is to record, in certaincrash or near crash-like situations,such as an air bag deployment or hit-ting a road obstacle, data that willassist in understanding how a vehi-cle's systems performed. The EDR isdesigned to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systemsfor a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehi-cle is designed to record such dataas: How various systems in your vehicle

were operating; Whether or not the driver and pas-

senger safety belts werebuckled/fastened;

How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/orbrake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstancesin which crashes and injuries occur.NOTE: EDR data are recorded by yourvehicle only if a nontrivial crash situa-tion occurs; no data are recorded bythe EDR under normal driving condi-tions and no personal data (e.g.,name, gender, age, and crash loca-tion) are recorded. However, otherparties, such as law enforcement,could combine the EDR data with thetype of personally identifying dataroutinely acquired during a crashinvestigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, spe-cial equipment is required, andaccess to the vehicle or the EDR isneeded.In addition to the vehicle manufactur-er, other parties, such as law enforce-ment, that have the special equip-ment, can read the information if theyhave access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Tilt the seat fromside to side. Also try to tug the seat for-ward. Check to see if the anchors holdthe seat in place.

WARNINGIf the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child beingseriously injured or killed in a colli-sion greatly increases.

WARNING - LATCH loweranchors

LATCH lower anchors are only tobe used with the left and right rearoutboard seating positions. Neverattempt to attach a LATCHequipped seat in the center seatingposition. You may damage theanchors or the anchors may failand break in a collision.

WARNING When using the vehicle's

"LATCH" system to install a childrestraint system in the rear seat,all unused vehicle rear seat beltmetal latch plates or tabs must belatched securely in their seat beltbuckles and the seat belt web-bing must be retracted behindthe child restraint to prevent thechild from reaching and takinghold of unretracted seat belts.Unlatched metal latch plates ortabs may allow the child to reachthe unretracted seat belts whichmay result in strangulation and aserious injury or death to thechild in the child restraint.

Do not place anything around thelower anchors. Also make surethat the seat belt is not caught inthe lower anchors.

CAUTIONDo not allow the rear seat belt web-bing to get scratched or pinched bythe child-seat latch and LATCHanchor during the installation.

AIR BAG - ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

OBH031025N

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

WARNINGEven in vehicles with air bags, youand your passengers must alwayswear the seat belts provided inorder to minimize the risk andseverity of injury in the event of acollision or rollover.

C040900AEN-EUHow does the air bag systemoperate Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignitionswitch is turned to the ON or STARTposition.

Air bags inflate in the event of a seri-ous frontal or side collision in order tohelp protect the occupants from seri-ous physical injury.

There is no single speed at which theair bags will inflate.Generally, air bags are designed toinflate based upon the severity of a col-lision and its direction. These two fac-tors determine whether the sensorsproduce an electronic deployment/inflation signal.

Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the densi-ty and stiffness of the vehicles orobjects which your vehicle hits in thecollision. The determining factors arenot limited to those mentioned above.

The front air bags will completelyinflate and deflate in an instant.It is virtually impossible for you to seethe air bags inflate during an accident.

It is much more likely that you will sim-ply see the deflated air bags hangingout of their storage compartments afterthe collision.

In order to help provide protection in asevere collision, the air bags mustinflate rapidly. The speed of air baginflation is a consequence of theextremely short time in which a collisionoccurs and the need to inflate the airbag between the occupant and thevehicle structures before the occupantimpacts those structures. This speed ofinflation reduces the risk of serious orlife-threatening injuries in a severe col-lision and is thus a necessary part of airbag design.However, air bag inflation can alsocause injuries which can include facialabrasions, bruises and broken bonesbecause the inflation speed also caus-es the air bags to expand with a greatdeal of force.

There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the air bagcan cause fatal injuries, especially ifthe occupant is positioned exces-sively close to the air bag.

WARNING To avoid severe personal injury

or death caused by deploying airbags in a collision, the drivershould sit as far back from thesteering wheel air bag as possi-ble (at least 10 inches (250 mm)away). The front passengersshould always move their seatsas far back as possible and sitback in their seat.

Air bags inflate instantly in theevent of collision, and passen-gers may be injured by the air bagexpansion force if they are not inproper position.

Air bag inflation may causeinjuries including facial or bodilyabrasions, injuries from brokenglasses or burns.

C040902AENNoise and smokeWhen the air bags inflate, they make a loudnoise and they leave smoke and powder inthe air inside of the vehicle. This is normaland is a result of the ignition of the air baginflator. After the air bag inflates, you mayfeel substantial discomfort in breathing dueto the contact of your chest with both theseat belt and the air bag, as well as frombreathing the smoke and powder. Openyour doors and/or windows as soon aspossible after impact in order to reducediscomfort and prevent prolongedexposure to the smoke and powder.Though the smoke and powder are non-toxic, they may cause irritation to the skin(eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is thecase, wash and rinse with cold waterimmediately and consult a doctor if thesymptom persists.

C040903AENDo not install a child restraint on thefront passengers seat.Never place a rear-facing child restraintin the front passengers seat. If the airbag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-ing child restraint, causing serious orfatal injury.In addition, do not place front-facing childrestraints in the front passengers seateither. If the front passenger air baginflates, it could cause serious or fatalinjuries to the child.

1JBH3051

WARNINGWhen the air bags deploy, the airbag related parts in the steeringwheel and/or instrument paneland/or in both sides of the roof railsabove the front and rear doors andin the front seatbacks are very hot.To prevent injury, do not touch theair bag storage areas internal com-ponents immediately after an airbag has inflated.

WARNING Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint ona seat protected by an air bag infront of it!

Never put a child restraint in thefront passengers seat. If the frontpassenger air bag inflates, it cancause serious or fatal injuries.

When children are seated in therear outboard seats of a vehicleequipped with side and/or curtainair bags, be sure to install thechild restraint system as far awayfrom the door side as possible,and securely lock the childrestraint system in position.Inflation of side and/or curtain airbags could cause serious injuryor death to an infant or child.

C040100ABH-EUSRS components and functionsThe SRS consists of the following com-ponents:1. Driver's front air bag module2. Passenger's front air bag module3. Side impact air bag modules4. Curtain air bag modules5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies6. Air bag warning light7. SRS control module (SRSCM)8. Front impact sensors9. Side impact sensors10. PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator

(Front passengers seat only)11. Occupant classification system

(Front passengers seat only)

12. Drivers and front passengers seatbelt buckle sensors

13. Drivers anchor pre-tensioner assembly

The SRSCM continually monitors allSRS components while the ignitionswitch is ON to determine if a crashimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment or pre-tensioner seatbelt deployment.

The SRS air bag warning light " " on theinstrument panel will illuminate for about 6seconds after the ignition switch is turnedto the ON position, after which the SRS airbag warning light " " should go out.

W7-147OBH032079N

WARNING If any of the following conditionsoccurs, this indicates a malfunctionof the SRS. Have an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer inspect the air bagsystem as soon as possible. The light does not turn on briefly

when you turn the ignition ON. The light stays on after illuminat-

ing for approximately 6 seconds. The light comes on while the

vehicle is in motion.

3 39


The front air bag modules are locatedboth in the center of the steering wheeland in the front passenger's panel abovethe glove box. When the SRSCM detectsa sufficiently severe impact to the front ofthe vehicle, it will automatically deploythe front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams moldeddirectly into the pad covers will separateunder pressure from the expansion of theair bags. Further opening of the coversthen allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combinationwith a properly worn seat belt, slows thedriver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, reducing the risk of head andchest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bagimmediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility andthe ability to steer or operate other con-trols.

WARNING Do not install or place any acces-

sories (drink holder, CD holder,sticker, etc.) on the front passen-ger's panel above the glove boxin a vehicle with a passenger's airbag. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and causeinjury if the passenger's air baginflates.

When installing a container of liq-uid air freshener inside the vehi-cle, do not place it near theinstrument cluster nor on theinstrument panel surface.It may become a dangerous pro-jectile and cause injury if the pas-senger's air bag inflates.

Passengers front air bagWARNING

If an air bag deploys, there maybe a loud noise followed by a finedust released in the vehicle.These conditions are normal andare not hazardous - the air bagsare packed in this fine powder.The dust generated during airbag deployment may cause skinor eye irritation as well as aggra-vate asthma for some persons.Always wash all exposed skinareas thoroughly with lukewarmwater and a mild soap after anaccident in which the air bagswere deployed.

The SRS can function only whenthe ignition switch is in the ONposition. If the SRS air bag warn-ing light " " does not illumi-nate, or continuously remains onafter illuminating for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition switch isturned to the ON position, or afterthe engine is started, comes onwhile driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs,have your vehicle immediatelyinspected by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.

C040300ABHOccupant classification systemYour vehicle is equipped with an occu-pant classification system in the frontpassenger's seat.The occupant classification system isdesigned to detect the presence of aproperly-seated front passenger anddetermine if the passenger's front air bagshould be enabled (may inflate) or not.The driver's front air bag is not affectedor controlled by the occupant classifica-tion system.

Main components of occupantclassification system A detection device located under the

front passenger seat cushion. Electronic system to determine

whether the passenger air bag sys-tems (both front and side) should beactivated or deactivated.

A warning light located on the instru-ment panel which illuminates thewords "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicatingthe front passenger air bag system isdeactivated.

The instrument panel air bag warninglight is interconnected with the occu-pant classification system.

If the front passenger seat is occupied bya person that the system determines tobe of adult size, and he/she sits properly(sitting upright with the seatback in anupright position, centered on the seatcushion with their seat belt on, legs com-fortably extended and their feet on thefloor), the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indica-tor will be turned off and the front pas-senger's air bag will be able to inflate, ifnecessary, in frontal crashes.You will find the "PASS AIR BAG OFF"indicator on the center facia panel. Thissystem detects the conditions 1~4 in thefollowing table and activates or deacti-vates the front passenger air bag basedon these conditions.

OBH038070N

Always be sure that you and all vehicleoccupants are seated and restrainedproperly (sitting upright with the seat inan upright position, centered on the seatcushion, with the person's legs comfort-ably extended, feet on the floor, andwearing the safety belt properly) for themost effective protection by the air bagand the safety belt. The OCS may not function properly if

the passenger takes actions which canaffect the detection system. Theseinclude:(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.(2) Leaning against the door or center

console.(3) Sitting towards the sides or the

front of the seat.(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or

resting them on other locationswhich reduce the passenger weighton the front seat.

(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.(6) Reclining the seat back.

C040301ABHCondition and operation in the front passenger occupant classification system

*1) The system judges a person of adultsize as an adult. When a smalleradult sits in the front passenger seat,the system may recognize him/heras a child depending on his/herphysique and posture.

*2) Do not allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat. When a largerchild who has outgrown a childrestraint system sits in the front pas-senger seat, the system may recog-nize him/her as an adult dependingon his/her physique or posture.

*3) Never install a child restraint systemon the front passenger seat.

WARNINGRiding in an improper position orplacing weight on the front passen-ger's seat when it is unoccupied bya passenger adversely affects theoccupant classification system(OCS).
