Safety system of your vehicle  
• The front air bags will completely  
inflate and deflate in an instant.  
How does the air bag system  
operate  
WARNING  
It is virtually impossible for you to  
see the air bags inflate during an  
accident.  
• Air bags are activated (able to  
inflate if necessary) only when the  
ignition switch is placed to the ON  
or START position.  
Even in vehicles with air bags,  
you and your passengers must  
always wear the safety belts pro-  
vided in order to minimize the risk  
and severity of injury in the event  
of a collision or rollover.  
It is much more likely that you will  
simply see the deflated air bags  
hanging out of their storage com-  
partments after the collision.  
• Air bags inflate instantly in the  
event of serious frontal or side col-  
lision in order to help protect the  
occupants from serious physical  
injury.  
SRS and pretensioners contain  
explosive chemicals.  
• In order to help provide protection  
in a severe collision, the air bags  
must inflate rapidly. The speed of  
air bag inflation is a consequence  
of extremely short time in which a  
collision occurs and the need to  
get the air bag between the occu-  
pant and the vehicle structures  
before the occupant impacts those  
structures. This speed of inflation  
reduces the risk of serious or life-  
threatening injuries in a severe col-  
lision and is thus a necessary part  
of air bag design.  
If scraping a vehicle without  
removing SRS and pretensioners  
from a vehicle, it may cause fire.  
Before scraping a vehicle, we  
recommend that you contact an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
• 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.  
Keep the SRS parts and wirings  
away from water or any liquid. If  
the SRS components are inoper-  
ative due to exposure to water or  
liquids, it may cause fire or severe  
injury.  
• Air bag deployment depends on a  
number of factors including vehicle  
speed, angles of impact and the  
density and stiffness of the vehi-  
cles or objects which your vehicle  
hits in the collision. The determin-  
ing, factors are not limited to those  
mentioned above.  
However, air bag inflation can also  
cause injuries which can include  
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-  
ken bones because the inflation  
speed also causes the air bags to  
expand with a great deal of force.  
4-32  
• There are even circumstances  
under which contact with the steer-  
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal  
injuries, especially if the occupant is  
positioned excessively close to the  
steering wheel.  
Noise and smoke  
WARNING  
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 ignition of the air bag inflator.  
After the air bag inflates, you may  
feel substantial discomfort in breath-  
ing due to the contact of your chest  
with both the seat belt and the air  
bag, as well as from breathing the  
When the air bags deploy, the air  
bag related parts in the steering  
wheel and/or instrument panel  
and/or in both sides of the roof  
rails above the front and rear  
doors are very hot. To prevent  
injury, do not touch the air bag  
storage areas internal compo-  
nents immediately after an air bag  
has inflated.

WARNING  
To avoid severe personal injury  
or death caused by deploying air  
bags in a collision, the driver  
should sit as far back from the  
steering wheel air bag as possi-  
ble. The front passenger should  
always move their seat as far  
back as possible and sit back in  
their seat.  
Open your doors

and/or windows as soon as possible  
after impact in order to reduce dis-  
comfort and prevent prolonged expo-  
sure to the smoke and powder.  
Though smoke and powder are non-  
toxic, it may cause irritation to the  
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If  
this is the case, wash and rinse with  
cold water immediately and consult  
with the doctor if the symptom per-  
sists.  
Air bag inflates instantly in an  
event of a collision, passengers  
may be injured by the air bag  
expansion force if they are not in  
a proper position.  
Air bag inflation may cause  
injuries including facial or bodily  
abrasions, injuries from broken  
glasses or burns.

front passenger air bag inflates,  
it would cause serious or fatal  
injuries.  
When children are seated in the  
rear outboard seats of vehicle  
equipped with curtain air bags,  
be sure to install the child  
restraint system as far away  
from the door side as possible,  
and securely lock the child  
restraint system in position.

Never place a rear-facing child  
restraint in the front passenger’s  
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would  
impact the rear-facing child restraint,  
causing serious or fatal injury.  
The purpose of the air bag warning  
light in your instrument panel is to  
alert you of a potential problem with  
your air bag - Supplemental Restraint  
System (SRS).  
In addition, do not place front-facing  
child restraints in the front passen-  
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-  
ger air bag inflates, it would cause  
serious or fatal injuries to the child.  
Inflation of curtain air bags could  
cause serious injury or death to  
an infant or child.

When the ignition switch is turned  
ON, the warning light should illumi-  
nate for approximately 6 seconds,  
then go off.  
The SRSCM continuously monitors  
all SRS components while the igni-  
tion switch is ON to determine if a  
crash impact is severe enough to  
require air bag deployment or pre-  
tensioner seat belt deployment.

WARNING  
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-  
tion with a properly worn seat belt,  
slows the driver's or the passenger's  
forward motion, reducing the risk of  
head and chest injury.  
WARNING  
If an air bag deploys, there may  
be a loud noise followed by a  
fine dust released in the vehicle.  
These conditions are normal and  
are not hazardous - the air bags  
are packed in this fine powder.  
The dust generated during air  
bag deployment may cause skin  
or eye irritation as well as aggra-  
vate asthma for some persons.  
Always wash all exposed skin  
areas thoroughly with cold water  
and a mild soap after an acci-  
dent in which the air bags were  
deployed.  
Do not install or place any acces-  
sories (drink holder, cassette  
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front  
passenger's panel above the  
glove box in a vehicle with a pas-  
senger's air bag. Such objects  
may become dangerous projec-  
tiles and cause injury if the pas-  
senger's air bag inflates.  
After complete inflation, the air bag  
immediately  
starts  
deflating,  
enabling the driver to maintain for-  
ward visibility and the ability to steer  
or operate other controls.

WARNING  
No objects (such as crash pad  
cover, cellular phone holder, cup  
holder, perfume or stickers)  
should be placed over or near  
the air bag modules on the  
steering wheel, instrument  
panel, windshield 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.  
Front and side impact air bags  
can injure occupants improperly  
positioned in the front seats.  
Always use seat belts and child  
restraints – every trip, every time,  
everyone! Air bags inflate with  
considerable force and in the blink  
of an eye. Seat belts help keep  
occupants in proper position to  
obtain maximum benefit from the  
air bag. Even with air bags,  
improperly and unbelted occu-  
pants can be severely injured  
when the air bag inflates. Always  
follow the precautions about seat  
belts, air bags and occupant safe-  
ty contained in this manual.  
4
Move your seat as far back as  
practical from the front air bags,  
while still maintaining control of  
the vehicle.  
You and your passengers  
should never sit or lean unnec-  
essarily close to the air bags.  
Improperly positioned drivers  
and passengers can be severe-  
ly injured by inflating air bags.  
Do not attach any objects on the  
front windshield and inside mir-  
ror.  
Never lean against the door or  
center console – always sit in an  
upright position.  
Do not tamper with or disconnect  
SRS wiring or other components  
of the SRS system. Doing so  
could result in injury, due to acci-  
dental deployment of the air  
bags or by rendering the SRS  
inoperative.  
To reduce the chance of serious  
or fatal injuries and receive the  
maximum safety benefit from your  
restraint system:  
(Continued)  
Never place a child in any child  
or booster seat in the front seat.  
If the SRS air bag warning light  
remains illuminated while the  
vehicle is being driven, we rec-  
ommend that the system be  
inspected by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bags can only be used once  
– we recommend that the sys-  
tem be replaced by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.  
Children age 12 and under must  
always be properly restrained in  
the rear seat. Never allow chil-  
dren to ride in the front passen-  
ger seat. If a child over 12 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.  
Sitting improperly or out of posi-  
tion can result in serious or fatal  
injury in a crash. All occupants  
should sit upright with the seat  
back in an upright position, cen-  
tered on the seat cushion with  
their seat belt on, legs comfort-  
ably extended and their feet on  
the floor until the vehicle is  
parked and the ignition key is  
removed.  
The SRS is designed to deploy  
the front air bags only when an  
impact is sufficiently severe and  
when the impact angle is less  
than 30° from the forward longi-  
tudinal axis of the vehicle.  
Additionally, the air bags will only  
deploy once. Seat belts must be  
worn at all times.  
For maximum safety protection  
in all types of crashes, all occu-  
pants including the driver should  
always wear their seat belts  
whether or not an air bag is also  
provided at their seating position  
to minimize the risk of severe  
injury or death in the event of a  
crash. Do not sit or lean unnec-  
essarily close to the air bag while  
the vehicle is in motion.  
The SRS air bag system must  
deploy very rapidly to provide  
protection in a crash. If an occu-  
pant is out of position because  
of not wearing a seat belt, the air  
bag may forcefully contact the  
occupant causing serious or  
fatal injuries.  
Front air bags are not intended to  
deploy in side-impact, rear-  
impact or rollover crashes. In  
addition, front air bags will not  
deploy in frontal crashes below  
the deployment threshold.  
A child restraint system must  
never be placed in the front  
seat. The infant or child could be  
severely injured or killed by an  
air bag deployment in case of an  
accident.

(Continued)  
When children are seated in the  
rear outboard seats, they must  
be seated in the proper child  
restraint system. Make sure to  
put the child restraint system as  
far away from the door side as  
possible, and secure the child  
restraint system in a locked posi-  
tion.  
Do not allow the passengers to  
lean their heads or bodies onto  
doors, put their arms on the  
doors, stretch their arms out of  
the window, or place objects  
between the doors and passen-  
gers when they are seated on  
seats equipped with side and/or  
curtain air bags.

The curtain air bags are designed to  
deploy only during certain side  
impact collisions, depending on the  
crash severity, angle, speed and  
impact. The curtain air bags are not  
designed to deploy in all side impact  
situations, collisions from the front or  
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover  
situations.  
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 pil-  
lar, roof side rail.  
Do not open or repair the side  
curtain air bags.  
Never try to open or repair any  
components of the side curtain  
air bag system. We recommend  
that the system be serviced by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING  
Do not hang other objects except  
clothes, especially hard or break-  
able objects. In an accident, it  
may cause vehicle damage or  
personal injury.  
In order for side impact and cur-  
tain air bags to provide the best  
protection, both front seat occu-  
pants and both outboard rear  
occupants should sit in an upright  
position with the seat belts prop-  
erly fastened.  
Failure to follow the above men-  
tioned instructions can result in  
injury or death to the vehicle occu-  
pants in an accident.

Front air bags  
Front air bags are designed to inflate  
in certain frontal collision depending  
on the crash severity, speed or  
angles of impact of the front collision.  
Therefore, do not try to perform  
maintenance on or around the  
air bag sensors. We recommend  
that the system be serviced by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Side air bags  
Air bag non-inflation conditions  
Side air bags (side impact and/or  
curtain air bags) are designed to  
inflate when an impact is detected by  
side collision sensors depending on  
the crash severity, speed or angles of  
impact resulting from a side impact  
collision.  
Although the front air bags (driver’s  
and front passenger’s air bags) are  
designed to inflate only in frontal col-  
lisions, they also may inflate in other  
types of collisions if the front impact  
sensors detect a sufficient impact.  
Side air bags (side impact and/or  
curtain air bags) are designed to  
inflate only in side impact collisions,  
but they may inflate in other colli-  
sions if the side impact sensors  
detect a sufficient impact.  
OPA037042  
• 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 be  
able to provide any additional ben-  
efit.  
OPA037041  
• 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 pro-  
tection of the seat belts in such col-  
lisions.  
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by  
bumps or objects on unimproved  
roads or sidewalks, air bags may  
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-  
proved roads or on surfaces not  
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent  
unintended air bag deployment.

brake heavily. Such heavy braking  
lowers the front portion of the vehi-  
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-  
cle with a higher ground clearance.  
Air bags may not inflate in this  
"under-ride" situation because  
deceleration forces that are detect-  
ed by sensors may be significantly  
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-  
sions.  
However, side impact or curtain air  
bags may inflate depending on the  
intensity, vehicle speed and angles  
of impact.

However, side and/or curtain air  
bags may inflate when the vehicle  
is rolled over after side impact col-  
lision.  
4-48  
If the air bags inflate, we recom-  
mend that the system be replaced  
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-  
er.  
If your car was flooded and has  
soaked carpeting or water on  
the flooring, you shouldn't try to  
start the engine; we recommend  
that you contact an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING  
Modification to SRS compo-  
nents or wiring, including the  
addition of any kind of badges to  
the pad covers or modifications  
to the body structure, can  
adversely affect SRS perform-  
ance and lead to possible injury.  
4
Do not tamper with or discon-  
nect SRS wiring, or other com-  
ponents of the SRS system.  
Doing so could result in injury,  
due to accidental inflation of the  
air bags or by rendering the  
SRS inoperative.  
For cleaning the air bag pad  
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth  
or one which has been mois-  
tened with plain water. Solvents  
or cleaners could adversely  
affect the air bag covers and  
proper deployment of the sys-  
tem.  
If components of the air bag sys-  
tem must be discarded, or if the  
vehicle must be scrapped, certain  
safety precautions must be  
observed.  
An  
authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer knows these  
precautions and can give you  
the necessary information.  
Failure to follow these precau-  
tions and procedures could  
increase the risk of personal  
injury.  
No objects should be placed  
over or near the air bag modules  
on the steering wheel, instru-  
ment panel, and the front pas-  
senger's panel above the glove  
box, because any such object  
could cause harm if the vehicle  
is in a crash severe enough to  
cause the air bags to inflate.

Any  
object attached to or placed on the  
front or side impact air bag covers  
could interfere with the proper  
operation of the air bags.  
WARNING  
Each seat belt is designed to  
restrain one occupant. If more than  
one person uses the same seat  
belt, they could be seriously injured  
or killed in a collision.  
Sitting improperly or out of posi-  
tion can cause occupants to be  
shifted too close to a deploying  
air bag, strike the interior struc-  
ture or be thrown from the vehi-  
cle resulting in serious injury or  
death.  
Do not modify the front seats.  
Modification of the front seats  
could interfere with the operation of  
the supplemental restraint system  
sensing components or side impact  
air bags.  
Do not use any accessories on  
seat belts.  
Devices claiming to  
improve occupant comfort or repo-
