seats.

WARNING

AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS use seat belts and child

restraints - every trip, every time,

everyone! 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.

The front air bags are designed to

supplement the three-point seat belts.

For these air bags to provide protec-

tion, 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

supplement 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 protecting you.

NEVER place a child in any child

restraint or booster seat in the

front passenger 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 seated 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, centred on the seat cush-

ion 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 posi-

tion during an accident, the rapidly

deploying air bag may forcefully

contact the occupant causing seri-

ous or fatal injuries.

You and your passengers should

never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags or lean against

the door or centre console.

Move your seat as far back as pos-

sible from front air bags, whilst

still maintaining control of the

vehicle.

ꢀ Do not allow the front passenger

to place their feet or legs on the

dashboard.

ꢀ No objects (such as crash pad

cover, mobile phone holder, cup

holder, perfume or stickers)

should be placed over or near

the air bag modules on the steer-

ing wheel, instrument panel,

windscreen glass, 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.

OAC3039037R

Your vehicle is equipped with a Sup-

plemental Restraint System (SRS)

and lap/shoulder belts at both the

driver and passenger seating posi-

tions.

The SRS consists of air bags which

are located in the center of the steer-

ing wheel and the passenger’s side

front panel pad above the glove box.

The air bags are labelled with the let-

ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad

covers.

ꢀ Do not attach any objects on

front windscreen and inside mir-

ror.

ꢀ Hold the steering wheel at the 9

o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,

to minimise the risk of injuries to

your hands and arms.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide

the vehicle’s driver and front passen-

gers with additional protection than

that offered by the seat belt system

alone in case of a frontal impact of

sufficient severity.

Side air bags (if equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating side air

bag, take the following precau-

tions:

ꢀ Seat belts must be worn at all

times to help keep occupants

positioned properly.

ꢀ Do not allow passengers to lean

their heads or bodies onto doors,

put their arms on the doors,

stretch their arms out of the win-

dow, or place objects between

the doors and seats.

OAC3039019TU

ꢀ Do not use any accessory seat

covers. This could reduce or pre-

vent the effectiveness of the sys-

tem.

ꢀ Do not place any objects over

the air bag or between the air bag

and yourself. Also, do not attach

any objects around the area the

air bag inflates such as the door,

side door glass, front and rear

pillar.

OAC3039020R

Your vehicle is equipped with a side

air bag in each front seat.

The purpose of the air bag is to pro-

vide the vehicle’s driver and the front

passenger with additional protection

than that offered by the seat belt

alone.

ꢀ Do not place any objects between

the door and the seat. They may

become dangerous projectiles if

the side air bag inflates.

The side air bags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash

severity.

ꢀ Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side air bags.

For vehicles equipped with a rollover

sensor the side and/or curtain air

bags and pre-tensioners on both

sides of the vehicle may deploy if a

rollover or possible rollover is detect-

ed.

The side air bags are not designed to

deploy in all side impact or rollover

situations.

3-45

Safety system

ꢀ Do not put any objects between

the side air bag label and seat

cushion. It could cause harm if

the vehicle is in a crash severe

enough to cause the air bags to

deploy.

Curtain air bags (if equipped)

ꢀ Do not cause impact to the doors

when the ignition switch is in the

ON position or this may cause

the side air bags to inflate.

ꢀ If the seat or seat cover is dam-

aged, we recommend that the

OAC3039021TU

OAC3039029R

Curtain air bags are located along

both sides of the roof rails above the

front and rear doors.

They are designed to help protect the

heads of the front seat occupants and

the rear outboard seat occupants in

certain side impact collisions.

The curtain air bags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash

severity.

For vehicles equipped with a rollover

sensor the side and/or curtain air

bags on both sides of the vehicle may

deploy if a rollover or possible roll-

over is detected.

The curtain air bags are not designed

to deploy in all side impact or rollover

situations.

Do not hang heavy items on the coat

hooks for safety reasons.

How does the air bags system

operate?

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death from an inflating curtain

air bags, take the following pre-

cautions:

ꢀ All seat occupants must wear

seat belts at all times to help

keep occupants positioned prop-

erly.

ꢀ Properly secure child restraints

as far away from the door as pos-

sible.

OAC3039023R

The SRS consists of the following

components:

ꢀ Do not place any objects over

the air bag. Also, do not attach

any objects around the area the

air bag inflates such as the door,

side door glass, front and rear

pillar, roof side rail.

(1) Driver’s front air bag module

(2) Passenger’s front air bag module*

(3) Side air bag modules*

(4) Curtain air bag modules*

* : if equipped

The SRSCM continually monitors

SRS components whilst the ignition

switch is in the ON position to deter-

mine if a crash impact is severe

enough to require air bag deployment

or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-

ment.

3-47

Safety system

During a frontal collision, sensors will

detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If

the rate of deceleration is high

enough, the control unit will inflate the

front air bags, at the time and with the

force needed.

SRS warning light

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 elec-

trical system for malfunctions. The

light indicates that there is a potential

problem with your air bag system,

which could include your side and/or

curtain air bags used for rollover pro-

tection (if equipped with rollover sen-

sor).

The front air bags help protect the

driver and front passenger by

responding to frontal impacts in which

seat belts alone cannot provide ade-

quate restraint. When needed, the

side air bags help provide protection

in the event of a side impact or roll-

over by supporting the side upper

body area.

ꢀ 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 cer-

tain frontal or side collisions to help

protect the occupants from serious

physical injury.

WARNING

If your SRS malfunctions, the air

bag may not inflate properly dur-

ing an accident increasing the risk

of serious injury or death.

ꢀ Generally, air bags are designed to

inflate based upon the severity of a

collision it’s direction etc. These

two factors determine whether the

sensors produce an electronic

deployment/inflation signal.

If any of the following conditions

occur, your SRS is malfunction-

ing:

ꢀ The light does not turn on for

approximately six seconds when

the ignition switch is in the ON

position.

ꢀ The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant. It is

virtually impossible for you to see

the air bags inflate during an acci-

dent. It is much more likely that you

will simply see the deflated air bags

hanging out of their storage com-

partments after the collision.

ꢀ The light stays on after illuminat-

ing for approximately six sec-

onds.

ꢀ The light comes on whilst the

vehicle is in motion.

ꢀ The light blinks when the engine

is running.

We recommend that a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer inspect the

SRS as soon as possible if any of

these conditions occur.

3-48

03

Driver's front air bag (1)

ꢀ In addition to inflating in serious

side collisions, vehicles equipped

with a rollover sensor, side and/or

curtain air bags will inflate if the

sensing system detects a rollover.

When a rollover is detected, cur-

tain air bags will remain inflated

longer to help provide protection

from ejection, especially when

used in conjunction with the seat

belts. (if equipped with a rollover

sensor)

OIK037081R

When the SRSCM detects a suffi-

ciently severe impact to the front of

the vehicle, it will automatically deploy

the front air bags.

ꢀ 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 occupant 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.

Driver's front air bag (2)

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.

OIK037082R

Upon deployment, tear seams mold-

ed directly into the pad covers will

separate under pressure from the

expansion of the air bags. Further

opening of the covers allows full infla-

tion of the air bags.

ꢀ There are even circumstances

under which contact with the air

bag can cause fatal injuries, espe-

cially if the occupant is positioned

excessively close to the air bag.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination

with a properly worn seat belt, slows

the driver’s or the front passenger’s

forward motion, reducing the risk of

head and chest injury.

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

space to inflate. It is recommended

that drivers sit as far as possible

between the center of the steering

wheel and the chest whilst still main-

taining control of the vehicle.

3-49

Safety system

Driver's front air bag (3)

What to expect after an air bag

inflates

After a frontal or side air bag inflates,

it will deflate very quickly. Air bag

inflation will not prevent the driver

from seeing out of the windscreen or

being able to steer. Curtain air bags

may remain partially inflated for some

time after they deploy.

OIK037083R

Passenger’s front air bag

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.

ꢀ Do not touch the air bag storage

area’s

OIK037084R

internal

components

immediately after an air bag has

inflated. The parts that come into

contact with an inflating air bag

may be very hot.

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating, enabling

the driver to maintain forward visibility

and the ability to steer or operate

other controls.

ꢀ Always wash exposed skin areas

thoroughly with cold water and

mild soap.

WARNING

ꢀ We recommend that a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer replace the

air bag immediately after deploy-

ment. Air bags are designed to

be used only once.

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.

ꢀ Do not install a container of liq-

uid air freshener near the instru-

ment cluster or on the instru-

ment panel surface.

03

Noise and smoke from inflating

air bag

Do not install a child restraint on

the front passenger seat

When the air bags inflate, they make

a loud noise and may produce smoke

and powder in the air inside of the

vehicle. This is normal and is a result

of the ignition of the air bag inflator.

After the air bag inflates, you may feel

substantial discomfort in breathing

because of the contact 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 attention immediately.

OHI038169L

Never install a child restraint in the front

passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag

can forcefully strike a child or restraint

resulting in serious or fatal injury.

Though the smoke and powder are

nontoxic, 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.

WARNING

ꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an air bag

in front of it!

ꢀ NEVER use a rearward facing

child restraint on a seat protect-

ed by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front

of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY

to the CHILD can occur.

ꢀ Never put a child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the

front passenger air bag inflates,

it would cause serious or fatal

injuries.

ꢀ 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.

Side and curtain air bags

Sideandcurtainairbagsaredesigned

to inflate when an impact is detected

by side collision sensors depending

on the severity of impact resulting

from a side impact collision. Although

the driver’s and front passenger’s air

bags are designed to inflate only in

frontal collisions, they also may inflate

in other types of collisions if the front

impact sensors detect a sufficient

impact. Side and curtain air bags are

designed to inflate only in side impact

collisions or rollover situations (if

equipped with rollover sensor), but

they may inflate in other collisions if

the side impact sensors detect a suf-

ficient impact. If the vehicle chassis is

impacted by bumps or objects on unim-

proved roads, the air bags may deploy.

Drive carefully on unimproved roads or

on surfaces not designed for vehicle

traffic to prevent unintended air bag

deployment.

3-54

03

Air bag non-inflation conditions

OAC3039028R

OAC3039030TU

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

deployment would not provide addi-

tional occupant protection.

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.

However, side and curtain air bags

may inflate depending on the severity

of impact.

OAC3039031TU

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.

OBH038060

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.

Information

i

9ehicles equipped with rollover sen-

sor

7he side and curtain air bags may

inflate in a rollover situation, when it

is detected by the rollover sensor.

9ehicles not equipped with rollover

7he side and/or curtain air bags may

inflate when the vehicle is rolled over

by a side impact collision, if the vehi-

cle is equipped with side and/or cur-

tain air bags.

OAC3039033TU

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.

OAC3039034TU

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility

poles or trees, where the point of

impact is concentrated and the colli-

sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-

cle structure.
