Safety system of your vehicle

The front air bags are designed to sup-

plement the three-point seat belts. For

these air bags to provide protection, the

seat belts must be worn at all times when

driving.

You can be severely injured or killed in an

accident if you are not wearing a seat

belt. Air bags are designed to supple-

ment seat belts, but do not replace them.

Also, air bags are not designed to deploy

in every collision. In some accidents, the

seat belts are the only restraint protect-

ing you.

WARNING - AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, every-

one! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision

if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag

inflates.

• NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front pas-

senger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child

causing serious or fatal injuries.

• ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest

place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seat-

ed in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should

be moved as far back as possible.

• All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position,

centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably

extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the

engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident,

the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing

serious or fatal injuries.

• You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to

the air bags or lean against the door or center console.

Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still main-

taining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers allow at least

25 cm (10 inches) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.

■ Driver’s front air bag

Where are the air bags?

WARNING

Driver’s and passenger’s front air

bags (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver

and passenger seating positions.

The SRS consists of air bags which are

located in the center of the steering

wheel and the passenger's side front

panel pad above the glove box.

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating front air

bags, take the following precau-

tions:

a

• Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants

positioned properly.

• Adjust the front passenger’s and

driver’s seats as far to the rear as

possible while allowing you to

maintain full control of the vehicle.

OBA033020

■ Passenger’s front air bag

The air bags are labeled with the letters

“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.

• Never lean against the door or

center console.

• Do not allow the front passenger

to place their feet or legs on the

dashboard.

• Do not allow the passenger to ride

in the front seat when the front

passenger’s air bag OFF indicator

is illuminated.

OBA033021

• No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules on the

steering wheel, instrument panel,

and the front passenger's panel

above the glove box. Such objects

could cause harm if the vehicle is

in a crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to deploy.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle's driver and front passengers

with additional protection than that

offered by the seat belt system alone in

case of a frontal impact of sufficient

severity.

How does the air bags system operate?

The SRS consists of the following components:

1. Driver's front air bag module*

2. Passenger's front air bag module*

3. Pre-tensioner seatbelt system*

4. Air bag warning light*

7. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF indicator *

8. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch*

*: if equipped

The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while

the ignition switch is ON to determine if a crash impact is

severe enough to require air bag deployment or pre-tensioner

seat belt deployment.

5. SRS control module (SRSCM)*

6. Front impact sensors*

3 31

Safety system of your vehicle

SRS warning light

During a moderate to severe frontal colli-

sion, sensors will detect the vehicle’s

rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceler-

ation is high enough, the control unit will

inflate the front air bags.

The front air bags help protect the driver

and front passenger by responding to

frontal impacts in which seat belts alone

cannot provide adequate restraint. When

needed, the side air bags help provide

protection in the event of a side impact or

rollover by supporting the side upper

body area.

(Continued)

• The light blinks when the engine

is running.

We recommend that an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS as

soon as possible if any of these

conditions occur.

The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)

air bag warning light on the instrument

panel displays the air bag symbol depicted

in the illustration. The system checks the

air bag electrical system for malfunctions.

The light indicates that there is a potential

problem with your air bag system.

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

• Air bags inflate in the event of a severe

frontal or side collision to help protect

the occupants from serious physical

injury.

• There is no single speed at which the

air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags

are designed to inflate based upon the

severity of a collision and its direction.

These two factors determine whether

the sensors produce an electronic

deployment/inflation signal.

WARNING

If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag

may not inflate properly during an

accident increasing the risk of seri-

ous injury or death.

If any of the following conditions

occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:

• The light does not turn on for

approximately six seconds when

the ignition switch is placed in

the ON position.

• The light stays on after illuminat-

ing for approximately six sec-

onds.

• The light comes on while the

vehicle is in motion.

(Continued)

3 32

Safety system of your vehicle

■ Driver’s front air bag (1)

• Air bag deployment depends on a

number of factors including vehicle

speed, angles of impact and the densi-

ty and stiffness of the vehicles or

objects which your vehicle impacts

during a collision. The determining fac-

tors are not limited to those mentioned

above.

• The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant. It is vir-

tually impossible for you to see the air

bags inflate during an accident. It is

much more likely that you will simply

see the deflated air bags hanging out

of their storage compartments after the

collision.

• To help provide protection, the air bags

must inflate rapidly. The speed of air

bag inflation is a consequence of

extremely short time in which to inflate

the air bag between the occupant and

the vehicle structures before the occu-

pant impacts those structures. This

speed of inflation reduces the risk of

serious or life-threatening injuries and

is thus a necessary part of air bag

design.

• There are even circumstances under

which contact with the air bag can

cause fatal injuries, especially if the

occupant is positioned excessively

close to the air bag.

You can take steps to reduce the risk of

being injured by an inflating air bag. The

greatest risk is sitting too close to the air

bag. An air bag needs about 25 cm (10

inches) of space to inflate. It is recom-

mended that drivers allow at least 25 cm

(10 inches) between the center of the

steering wheel and the chest.

OLMB033054

When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently

severe impact to the front of the vehicle,

it will automatically deploy the front air

bags.

However, the rapid air bag inflation can

also cause injuries which can include

facial abrasions, bruises and broken

bones because the inflation speed also

causes the air bags to expand with a

great deal of force.

■ Driver’s front air bag (3)

WARNING

To prevent objects from becoming

dangerous projectiles when the

passenger's air bag inflates:

• Do not install or place any

objects (drink holder, CD holder,

stickers, etc.) on the front pas-

senger's panel above the glove

box where the passenger's air

bag is located.

OLMB033056

■ Passenger’s front air bag

• Do not install a container of liquid

air freshener near the instrument

cluster or on the instrument

panel surface.

OLMB033055

Upon deployment, tear seams molded

directly into the pad covers will separate

under pressure from the expansion of the

air bags. Further opening of the covers

allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination

with a properly worn seat belt, slows the

driver's or the passenger's forward

motion, reducing the risk of head and

chest injury.

OLMB033057

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating, enabling the

driver to maintain forward visibility and

the ability to steer or operate other con-

trols.

■ Left-hand drive

Noise and smoke from inflating air

bag

What to expect after an air bag

inflates

When the air bags inflate, they make a

loud noise and they leave smoke and

powder in the air inside of the vehicle.

This is normal and is a result of the igni-

tion of the air bag inflator. After the air

bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-

comfort in breathing because of the con-

tact of your chest with both the seat belt

and the air bag, as well as from breathing

the smoke and powder. The powder may

aggravate asthma for some people. If you

experience breathing problems after an

air bag deployment, seek medical atten-

tion immediately.

Though the smoke and powder are non-

toxic, they may cause irritation to the

skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the

case, wash and rinse with cold water

immediately and seek medical attention

if the symptoms persist.

After a frontal or side impact air bag

inflates, it will deflate very quickly. Air bag

inflation will not prevent the driver from see-

ing out of the windshield or being able to

steer. Curtain air bags may remain partially

inflated for some time after they deploy.

WARNING

After an air bag inflates, take the

following precautions:

• Open your windows and doors as

soon as possible after impact to

reduce prolonged exposure to

the smoke and powder released

by the inflating air bag.

OIA0330033

■ Right-hand drive

• Do not touch the air bag storage

area’s

internal

components

immediately after an air bag has

inflated. The parts that come into

contact with an inflating air bag

may be very hot.

OIA0330033R

Passenger’s front air bag

• Always wash exposed skin areas

thoroughly with lukewarm water

and mild soap.

• We recommend that an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer replace the

air bag immediately after deploy-

ment. Air bags are designed to be

used only once.

ON/OFF switch (if equipped)

The purpose of the switch is to disable

the passenger’s front air bag in order to

transport occupants who are at

increased risk for air bag-related injury

due to age, size, or medical condition.

following conditions may occur:

• The air bag warning light ( ) on

the instrument panel will illumi-

nate.

WARNING

NEVER place a rear-facing or front-

facing child restraint in the front

passenger’s seat of the vehicle. An

inflating frontal air bag could force-

fully strike a child resulting in seri-

ous injury or death. Always proper-

ly restrain children in an appropri-

ate child restraint in the rear seat of

the vehicle.

• The passenger air bag OFF indi-

cator ( ) will not illuminate and

the ON indicator ( ) will come

on and go off after approximately

60 seconds. The passenger’s

front air bag will inflate in a

frontal impact even though the

passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch is set to the OFF position.

OYDESA2042

■ Type B

• We recommend that an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the

passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch and the SRS air bag sys-

tem as soon as possible.

OYDESA2042

Do not install a child restraint on the

front passenger seat

Never install a child restraint in the front

passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag can

forcefully strike a child or restraint result-

ing in serious or fatal injury.

Air bag collision sensors

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a

collision?

(Continued)

• Do not install bumper guards or

replace the bumper with a non-

genuine part. This may adversely

affect the collision and air bag

deployment performance.

• We recommend that all repairs

are conducted by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

(Air bags are not designed to

inflate in every collision.)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of an air bag

deploying unexpectedly and caus-

ing serious injury or death:

• Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air

bags or sensors are installed.

• Do not perform maintenance on

or around the air bag sensors. If

the location or angle of the sen-

sors is altered, the air bags may

deploy when they should not or

may not deploy when they

should.

There are certain types of accidents in

which the air bag would not be expected

to provide additional protection. These

include rear impacts, second or third col-

lisions in multiple impact accidents, as

well as low speed impacts. Damage to

the vehicle indicates a collision energy

absorption, and is not an indicator of

whether or not an air bag should have

inflated.

Air bag inflation conditions

Air bag non-inflation conditions

Front air bag

In certain low-speed collisions the air

bags may not deploy. The air bags are

designed not to deploy in such cases

because they may not provide benefits

beyond the protection of the seat belts.

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a

frontal collision depending on the intensi-

ty, speed or angles of impact of the front

collision.

Safety system of your vehicle

OPA037042

OSA038121

1VQA2089

Front air bags are not designed to inflate

in rear collisions, because occupants are

moved backward by the force of the

impact. In this case, inflated air bags

would not provide any additional benefit.

Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move in the direction of the collision, and

thus in side impacts, front air bag deploy-

ment would not provide additional occu-

pant protection.

In an angled collision, the force of impact

may direct the occupants in a direction

where the air bags would not be able to

provide any additional benefit, and thus

the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

3 42

Safety system of your vehicle

OPA037043

OED036104

OSA038122

Just before impact, drivers often brake

heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the

front portion of the vehicle causing it to

“ride” under a vehicle with a higher

ground clearance. Air bags may not

inflate in this "under-ride" situation

because deceleration forces that are

detected by sensors may be significantly

reduced by such “underride” collisions.

Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-

dents because air bag deployment could

not provide protection to the occupants.

However, side impact and curtain air

bags may inflate when the vehicle is

rolled over by a side impact collision, if

the vehicle is equipped with side impact

air bags and curtain air bags

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle col-

lides with objects such as utility poles or

trees, where the point of impact is con-

centrated and the collision energy is

absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Also, if the vehicle is equipped with a

rollover sensor, side impact and curtain

air bags may inflate in a rollover.

SRS care

(Continued)

WARNING

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and there are no parts you can safely

service by yourself. If the SRS air bag

warning light does not illuminate when

the ignition switch is in the ON position,

or continuously remains on, we recom-

mend that the system be immediately

inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

We recommend any work on the SRS

system, such as removing, installing,

repairing, or any work on the steering

wheel, the front passenger's panel, front

seats and roof rails be performed by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Improper

handling of the SRS system may result in

serious personal injury.

• If components of the air bag sys-

tem must be discarded, or if the

vehicle must be scrapped, certain

safety precautions must be

observed. Consult an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer for the neces-

sary information. Failure to follow

these precautions could increase

the risk of personal injury.

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death, take the following precau-

tions:

• Do not attempt to modify or dis-

connect the SRS components or

wiring, including the addition of

any kind of badges to the pad

covers or modifications to the

body structure.

• Do not place objects over or near

the air bag modules on the steer-

ing wheel, instrument panel, or

the front passenger's panel

above the glove box.

• Clean the air bag pad covers with

a soft cloth moistened with plain

water. Solvents or cleaners could

adversely affect the air bag cov-

ers and proper deployment of the

system.

• We recommend that inflated air

bags be replaced by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Safety system of your vehicle

Adding equipment to or modifying

your air bag equipped vehicle

If you modify your vehicle by changing

your vehicle's frame, bumper system,

front end or side sheet metal or ride

height, this may affect the operation of

your vehicle's air bag system.

■ Type A

Additional safety precautions

Passengers should not move out of or

change seats while the vehicle is mov-

ing. A passenger who is not wearing a

seat belt during a crash or emergency

stop can be thrown against the inside of

the vehicle, against other occupants, or

be ejected from the vehicle.

Do not use any accessories on seat

belts. Devices claiming to improve occu-

pant comfort or reposition the seat belt

can reduce the protection provided by

the seat belt and increase the chance of

serious injury in a crash

OBA033018

■ Type B

Do not modify the front seats.

Modification of the front seats could inter-

fere with the operation of the supplemen-

tal restraint system sensing components

or side air bags.

OBA033019

Do not place items under the front

seats. Placing items under the front

seats could interfere with the operation of

the supplemental restraint system sens-

ing components and wiring harnesses.

Air bag warning labels

(if equipped)

Air bag warning labels are attached to

alert the driver and passengers of poten-

tial risks of the air bag system. Be sure to

read all of the information about the air

bags that are installed on your vehicle in

this Owner’s Manual.
