    VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

    Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with many high technology, electronically controlled systems thathelp to ensure your vehicle operates properly and provides the performance that you expect. Thesesystems utilize computers to monitor the operation of various systems and components and help tocontrol their operation. These computerized system operations are wide-ranging and involvecomponents to reduce emissions, to continuously evaluate the readiness of the airbag and seat beltpretensioner systems, to determine when the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner systems should bedeployed and then to activate the deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, tractioncontrol and electrical stability control to assist the driver to control the vehicle in difficult drivingsituations. These systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians whenthey need to diagnose and repair these systems. Additional information is stored only when a crashoccurs that results in the deployment of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners. This type of datastorage is done by devices called event data recorders(EDR).After a crash event, the airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner computer system, known as theSupplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit (ACU), may recordsome information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was being operated. This informationconsists of data related to seat belt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or seatbelt systems at the time that a crash occurred, and if the ACU sensed that a crash of sufficient severityoccurred to require seat belt pre-tensioner or airbag deployment.

    To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the device thatstores the data is required. Hyundai will not access information about a crash event or share it withothers except:

    o in response to an official request of police or similar government office, oro with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, oro as part of Hyundais defense of litigation, oro as required by law.

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:Every person in your vehicle needs to beproperly restrained at all times, includ-ing infants and children. Never hold achild in your arms or lap when riding in avehicle. The violent forces created dur-ing a crash will tear the child from yourarms and throw the child against theinterior.

To fasten your seatbelt, pull it out of the retractor and insertthe metal tab into the buckle. There willbe an audible "click" when the tab locksinto the buckle. When not securing a childrestraint, the seat belt operates in thesame way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto-matically adjusts to the proper length onlyafter the lap belt portion of the seat belt isadjusted manually so that it fits snuglyaround your hips.

    *1) Warning pattern repeats 11 times withinterval 24 seconds. If the driver's seatbelt is buckled, the light will stop within6 seconds and chime will stop imme-diately.

    *2) The light will stop within 6 secondsand chime will stop immediately.

    When the seat belt is fully extended fromthe retractor to allow the installation of achild restraint system, the seat belt opera-tion changes to allow the belt to retract,but not to extend (Automatic LockingRetractor Type). See page 1-37.NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-vides the same level of protection forseated passengers in either emergencyor automatic locking modes, it is recom-mended that seated passengers use theemergency locking feature for improvedconvenience. The automatic lockingfunction is intended to facilitate childrestraint installation. To convert fromthe automatic locking feature to theemergency locking operation mode, al-low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-tract.

    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, which are installedon the seat track, determine if the seatsare fore or aft of a reference position. Theseat belt buckle sensors determine if thedriver and front passenger's seat beltsare fastened. These sensors provide theability to control the SRS deploymentbased on how close the driver's seat is tothe steering wheel, how close thepassenger's seat is to the instrumentpanel, whether or not the seat belts arefastened, and how severe the impact is.

    The advanced SRS offers the ability tocontrol the airbag inflation with 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.

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

    The airbag modules are located both inthe center of the steering wheel and in thefront passenger's panel above the glovebox. When the SRSCM detects a suffi-ciently severe impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy thefront airbags.
