• The SRS can function only when
the ignition switch is in the ON
position. If the SRS air bag warn-
ing light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on after
illuminating for about 6 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on while
driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key. Never remove or replace the
air bag related fuse(s) when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion. Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag warn-
ing light to illuminate.

Occupant classification system

Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
The driver's front air bag is not affected
or controlled by the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Main components of occupant classifica-
tion system
• A detection device located under the
front passenger seat frame.
• Electronic system to
whether the passenger air bag sys-
tems (both front and side) should be
activated or deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the
words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
or "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicating the
front passenger air bag system is
deactivated.
• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant 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
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
determine
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
or "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator will be
turned off 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" or "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
on the center facia panel. This system
detects the conditions 1~4 in the follow-
ing table and activates or deactivates the
front passenger air bag based on these
conditions.
