I believe either Stealth Stalker and/or MEM-TEK own Hyundais, and both should be able to help.

Thanks for the tip on unplugging the battery.

You can also pump the brake pedal until you don't see any more brake lights from the rear.

Just remember that this will clear your radio (and other electronic) presets (unless you've got one of those "save the setting" devices plugged-in), and also reset any vehicle trouble codes (which, if you're going to take the car in to get an emissions check, they'll fail you for, as your vehicle may not have reached sensor readiness status, after the ECU resets, from the battery disconnect).

The capacitors are inside the Airbag systems, and can't be drained that way.

Just wait 15 minutes minimum. 30 - 60 minutes to be extra safe

BTW the Elantra technically has 6 airbags, not 8

2 frontal airbags
2 side torso airbags for the front seats
2 side curtain head airbags for front and rear seats

You have been scammed by the salesman!
