VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is torecord, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hittinga road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. TheEDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record suchdata as:

o How various systems in your vehicle were operating;o Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes andinjuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situationoccurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as lawenforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle orthe EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as lawenforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access tothe vehicle or the EDR.

WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must weartheir seat belts at all times. Seat beltsand child restraints reduce the risk ofserious or fatal injuries for all occupantsin the event of a collision or sudden stop.Without a seat belt, occupants could beshifted too close to a deploying airbag,strike the interior structure or be thrownfrom the vehicle. Properly worn seatbelts greatly reduce these hazards. Evenwith advanced airbags, unbelted occu-pants can be severely injured by a de-ploying airbag. Always follow the pre-cautions about seat belts, airbags andoccupant safety contained in thismanual.

! WARNING:When you return the rear seatback to itsupright position after being folded down:Be careful not to damage the seat beltwebbing or buckle. Do not allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle to get caught orpinched in the rear seat. Ensure that theseatback is completely locked into itsupright position by pushing on the top ofthe seatback.

WARNING:A child can be seriously injured or killedin a collision if the child restraint is notproperly anchored to the car and thechild is not properly restrained in thechild restraint. Always follow the childseat manufacturers instructions for in-stallation and use.


! WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Auto-

matic Locking mode, the child re-straint can move when your vehicleturns or stops suddenly. A child canbe seriously injured or killed if thechild restraint is not properly an-chored to the car, including settingthe 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 causethe passenger side airbag to deploy,it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.

o Before installing a Child RestraintSystem to vehicles fitted with CurtainAirbags, always refer to safety no-tices for Curtain Airbag systems inthis manual. Whenever installing childrestraints, use only approved devicesand refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-tem" section to ensure correct instal-lation and that occupant protection ismaximized.

If the retractor is in the automatic lockingmode, the belt will be locked. After instal-lation of the child restraint system, try tomove it in all directions to be sure thechild restraint system is securely installed.If you need to tighten the belt, pull morewebbing toward the retractor. When youunbuckle the seat belt and allow it toretract, the retractor will automaticallyrevert back to its normal seated passen-ger emergency locking usage condition.

NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint

system, read the instructions sup-plied by the child restraint systemmanufacturer.

o If the seat belt does not operate asdescribed, have the system checkedimmediately by your authorizedHyundai dealer.

To install a child restraint system in theoutboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely from its retractor until a"click" is felt. This will engage the seat beltretractor automatic locking feature, whichallows the seat belt to retract but notextend. Install the child restraint system,buckle the seat belt and allow the seatbelt to take up any slack. Make sure thatthe lap portion of the belt is tight aroundthe child restraint system and the shoul-der portion of the belt is positioned so thatit cannot interfere with the child's head orneck.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-mation about the driver's and frontpassenger's seat position, the driver's andfront passenger's seat belt usage andimpact severity.

The driver's and front passenger's seattrack position sensors (If Installed), whichare installed on the seat track, determineif the seats are fore or aft of a referenceposition. The seat belt buckle sensorsdetermine if the driver and frontpassenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to con-trol the SRS deployment based on howclose the driver's seat is to the steeringwheel, how close the passenger's seat isto the instrument panel, whether or notthe seat belts are fastened, and howsevere the impact is.

The advanced SRS offers the ability tocontrol the airbag inflation within two lev-els. A first stage level is provided formoderate-severity impacts. A secondstage level is provided for more severeimpacts.

According to the impact severity, seatingposition and seat belt usage, theSRSCM(SRS Control Module) controlsthe airbag inflation. Failure to properlywear seat belts can increase the risk orseverity of injury in an accident.Additionally, your Hyundai is equippedwith an occupant classification system inthe front passenger's seat. The occupantclassification system detects the pres-ence of a passenger in the frontpassenger's seat and will turn off the frontpassenger's airbag under certain condi-tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-sification System" later in this section.

Driver's and Passenger's FrontAirbag

Your Hyundai is equipped with an ad-vanced Supplemental Restraint (Airbag)System and lap/shoulder belts at both thedriver and passenger seating positions.The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossedon the airbag pad cover in the steeringwheel and the passenger's side frontpanel pad above the glove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbagsinstalled under the pad covers in thecenter of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above theglove box.

Driver's Front Airbag



! WARNING:If a seat track position sensor or anoccupant classification system is notworking properly, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panelwill illuminate because the SRS airbagwarning light is connected with the seattrack position sensor and the occupantclassification system. If the SRS airbagwarning light does not illuminate whenthe ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, remains illuminated after ap-proximately 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, or if itilluminates while the vehicle is beingdriven, have an authorized Hyundaidealer inspect the advanced SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

AIRBAG

! WARNING:o Modification to the seat structure

can adversely affect the seat trackposition sensor and cause the airbagto deploy at a different level thanshould be provided.

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

o Do not place any objects that maycause magnetic fields near the frontseat. 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 onthe topside of the sun visor.

o Advanced airbags are combined withpre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-vide enhanced occupant protectionin frontal crashes. Front airbags arenot intended to deploy in collisions inwhich sufficient protection can beprovided by the pre-tensioner seatbelt.

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


! WARNING:o Move your seat as far back as prac-

tical from the front airbags, while stillmaintaining control of the vehicle.

o Never sit or lean unnecessarily closeto the front or side airbags.

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

o Do not allow an adult passenger toride in the front seat when the Pas-senger Airbag OFF indicator is illu-minated, because the airbag will notdeploy in the event of a moderate orsevere frontal crash.

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

o Never place covers, blankets oraftermarket seat warmers on thepassenger seat as these may inter-fere with the occupant classificationsystem.

! WARNING:Always use seat belts and child restraints every trip, every time, everyone!Airbags inflate with considerable forceand in the blink of an eye. Seat belts helpkeep occupants in proper position toobtain maximum benefit from the airbag.Even with advanced airbags, improp-erly belted and unbelted occupants canbe severely injured when the airbag in-flates. Always follow the precautionsabout seat belts, airbags and occupantsafety contained in this manual.

To reduce the chance of serious or fatalinjuries and receive the maximum safetybenefit from your restraint system:o Never place a child in any child or

booster seat in the front seat (seechild restraints 1-31).

o ABC Always Buckle Children in theback seat. It is the safest place forchildren of any age to ride.

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

! WARNING:o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS

wiring or other components. Injuriescould result from inadvertent deploy-ment or failure of the airbag to de-ploy in a crash.

o If the SRS airbag warning light (seepg 1-64) remains illuminated whilethe vehicle is being driven, have anauthorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe airbag system as soon as pos-sible.

o Airbags can only be used once have an authorized Hyundai dealerreplace the airbag immediately afterdeployment.

o The SRS is designed to deploy thefront airbags only when an impact issufficiently severe and when the im-pact angle is within a range as mea-sured from the forward longitudinalaxis of the vehicle. The front airbagswill not deploy in side, rear or rolloverimpacts. Additionally, the airbags willonly deploy once. Seat belts must beworn at all times.



! WARNING:o No objects should be placed over or

near the airbag modules on the steer-ing wheel, instrument panel, and thefront passenger's panel above theglove box, because any such objectcould cause harm if the vehicle is ina crash severe enough to cause theairbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must bereplaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer. Deployed airbags WILL NOTinflate again and will provide no pro-tection in subsequent collisions.

o Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other components ofthe SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentaldeployment of the airbags or by ren-dering the SRS inoperative.

o Even though your vehicle is equippedwith the occupant classification sys-tem, do not install a child restraintsystem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the frontseat.

An infant or child could be severelyinjured or killed by an airbag deploy-ment in case of an accident.

o Children younger than 13 years mustalways be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat. If achild over 13 must be seated in thefront seat, he or she must be prop-erly belted and the seat should bemoved as far back as possible.

o For maximum safety protection in alltypes of crashes, all occupants in-cluding the driver should always weartheir seat belts whether or not anairbag is also provided at their seat-ing position to minimize the risk ofsevere injury or death in the event ofa crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-sarily close to the airbag while thevehicle is in motion.
