Driver’s front air bag (1)

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-

ments while the ignition switch is ON to

determine if a frontal or near-frontal

impact is severe enough to require air

bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat

belt deployment.

SRS components and functions

The SRS consists of the following com-

ponents:

1. Driver's front air bag module

2. Passenger's front air bag module*

3. Side air bag modules*

The SRS air bag warning light on the

instrument panel will illuminate for about

6 seconds after the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, after which the

air bag warning light should go out.

4. Curtain air bag modules*

5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*

6. Air bag warning light

7. SRS control module (SRSCM)

8. Front impact sensors

9. Side impact sensors*

B240B01L

If any of the following conditions occurs,

this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.

Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

inspect the air bag system as soon as

possible.

The air bag modules are located both in

the center of the steering wheel and in

the front passenger's panel above the

glove box. When the SRSCM detects a

sufficiently severe impact to the front of

the vehicle, it will automatically deploy

the front air bags.

• The light does not turn on briefly when

you turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after illuminating for

approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the vehicle is

in motion.

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

then 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.

WARNING

• Do not install or place any acces-

sories (drink holder, CD holder,

sticker, etc.) on the front passen-

ger's panel above the glove box

in a vehicle with a passenger's air

bag. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if the passenger's air bag

inflates.

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.

• When installing a container of liq-

uid air freshener inside the vehi-

cle, do not place it near the

instrument cluster nor on the

instrument panel surface.

It may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if the pas-

senger's air bag inflates.

WARNING

• The SRS can function only when

the ignition key 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 key 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.

• 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 lukewarm

water and a mild soap after an

accident in which the air bags

were deployed.

WARNING

• Move your seat as far back as

practical from the front air bags,

while still maintaining control of

the vehicle.

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, improp-

erly and unbelted occupants can be

severely injured when the air bag

inflates. Always follow the precau-

tions about seat belts, air bags and

occupant safety contained in this

manual.

• You and your passengers should

never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags. Improperly

positioned drivers and passen-

gers can be severely injured by

inflating air bags.

• Never lean against the door or

center console – always sit in an

upright position.

OFD039017E

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-

ger with additional protection than that

offered by the seat belt system alone in

case of a frontal impact of sufficient

severity.

• Do not allow a passenger to ride

in the front seat when the pas-

senger’s front air bag OFF indica-

tor is illuminated, because the air

bag will not deploy in the event of

a moderate or severe frontal

crash.

To reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries and receive the maxi-

mum safety benefit from your

restraint system:

• Never place a child in any child or

booster seat in the front seat.

• ABC – Always Buckle Children in

the back seat. It is the safest

place for children of any age to

ride.

(Continued)

• Front and side air bags can injure

occupants improperly positioned

in the front seats.

Rollover

(Continued)

• 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,

because any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to deploy.

• Air bags can only be used once –

have an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer replace the air bag imme-

diately after deployment.

• 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 longitu-

dinal axis of the vehicle.

Additionally, the air bags will only

deploy once. Seat belts must be

worn at all times.

• 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 inopera-

tive.

• 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.

• If the SRS air bag warning light

remains illuminated while the

vehicle is being driven, have an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer

inspect the air bag system as

soon as possible.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

OFD039018E

• 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.

C040501AFD

Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch (if equipped)

The passenger’s front air bag can be

deactivated by the passenger’s front air

bag ON/OFF switch if a child restraint is

installed on the front passenger's seat or

if the front passenger's seat is unoccu-

pied by a person.

• 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 unneces-

sarily close to the air bag while

the vehicle is in motion.

To ensure the safety of your child, the

passenger’s front air bag must be deacti-

vated when it should be necessary to

install a rearward facing child seat on the

front passenger seat in exceptional cir-

cumstances.

The side air bags are designed to deploy

only during certain side-impact collisions,

depending on the crash severity, angle,

speed and point of impact. The side air

bags are not designed to deploy in all

side impact situations.

(Continued)

• Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side air bag.

WARNING

• The side air bag is supplemental

to the driver's and the passen-

ger's seat belt systems and is not

a substitute for them. Therefore

your seat belts must be worn at

all times while the vehicle is in

motion. The air bags deploy only

in certain side impact conditions

severe enough to cause signifi-

cant injury to the vehicle occu-

pants.

• Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bag

and yourself.

• Do not place any objects (an

umbrella, bag, etc.) between the

front door and the front seat.

Such objects may become dan-

gerous projectiles and cause

injury if the supplemental side air

bag inflates.

• For best protection from the side

air bag system and to avoid being

injured by the deploying side air

bag, both front seat occupants

should sit in an upright position

with the seat belt properly fas-

tened. The driver's hands should

be placed on the steering wheel

at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.

The passenger's arms and hands

should be placed on their laps.

• To prevent unexpected deploy-

ment of the side air bag that may

result in personal injury, avoid

impact to the side impact sensor

when the ignition key is on.

• If seat or seat cover is damaged,

have the vehicle checked and

repaired by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer. Inform that your

vehicle is equipped with side air

bags.

• Do not use any accessory seat

covers.

• Use of seat covers could reduce

or prevent the effectiveness of

the system.

• In order for side and curtain air

bags to provide its best protec-

tion, both front seat occupants

and both outboard rear occu-

pants should sit in an upright

position with the seat belts prop-

erly fastened. Importantly, chil-

dren should sit in a proper child

restraint system in the rear seat.

Failure to follow the above men-

tioned instructions can result in

injury or death to the vehicle occu-

pants in an accident.

• When children are seated in the

rear outboard seats, they must be

seated in the proper child

There are many types of accidents in

which the air bag would not be expect-

ed to provide additional protection.

These include rear impacts, second or

third collisions in multiple impact

accidents, as well as low speed

impacts. In other words, just because

your vehicle is damaged and even if it

is totally unusable, don’t be surprised

that the air bags did not inflate.

• If the installation location or

angle of the sensors is altered in

any way, the air bags may deploy

when they should not or they may

not deploy when they should,

causing severe injury or death.

Although the front air bags (driver’s and

front passenger’s air bags) are designed

to inflate only in frontal collisions, they

also may inflate in other types of colli-

sions if the front impact sensors detect a

sufficient impact. Side air bags (side

and/or curtain air bags) are designed to

inflate only in side impact collisions, but

they may inflate in other collisions if the

side impact sensors detect a sufficient

impact.

1JBA3516

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by

bumps or objects on unimproved roads

or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive

carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-

faces not designed for vehicle traffic to

because they may not provide benefits

beyond the protection of the seat belts

in such collisions.

OUN026090

Side air bags (if equipped)

Side and/or curtain air bags are

designed to inflate when an impact is

• Frontal air bags are not designed to

inflate in rear collisions, because occu-

pants are moved backward by the

force of the impact. In this case, inflat-

ed air bags would not be able to pro-

vide any additional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move to the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag

deployment would not provide addi-

tional occupant protection.

• In a slant or 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 bene-

fit, and thus the sensors may not

deploy any air bags.

However, side or curtain air bags may

inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-

cle speed and angles of impact.

• 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 signifi-

cantly replaced by such “under-ride”

collisions.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-

dents because air bag deployment

would not provide protection to the

occupants.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility

poles or trees, where the point of

impact is concentrated to one area and

the full force of the impact is not deliv-

ered to the sensors.

However, side and/or curtain air bags

may inflate when the vehicle is rolled

over by a side impact collision, if the

vehicle is equipped with side air bags

and curtain air bags.

It is virtually impossible for you to see

the air bags inflate during an accident.

It is much more likely that you will sim-

ply see the deflated air bags hanging

out of their storage compartments after

the collision.

How does the air bag system

operate

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 (at least 250 mm (10 inches)

away). The front passenger

should always move their seat as

far back as possible and sit back

in their seat.

• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON or START

position.

• 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 the

extremely short time in which a collision

occurs and the need to get 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 in a severe collision

and is thus a necessary part of air bag

design.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of

serious frontal or side collision (if

equipped with side air bag or curtain

air bag) in order to help protect the

occupants from serious physical injury.

• Air bag inflates instantly in an

event of collision, passengers

may be injured by the air bag

expansion force if they are not in

proper position.

• There is no single speed at which the

air bags will inflate.

Generally, air bags are designed to

inflate by the severity of a collision and

its direction. These two factors deter-

mine whether the sensors send out an

electronic deployment/inflation signal.

• Air bag inflation may cause

injuries which normally include

facial or bodily abrasions,

injuries from broken glasses or

burns by the air bag inflation

gasses.

However, air bag inflation can also

cause injuries which normally can

include facial abrasions, bruises and

broken bones, and sometimes more

severe injuries because the inflation

speed also causes the air bags to

expand with a great deal of force.

• 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 hits in the

collision. Though, factors are not limit-

ed to those mentioned above.

• 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.

• The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant.

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 igni-

tion of the air bag inflator. After the air

bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-

comfort in breathing due to the contact of

your chest to both the seat belt and the

air bag, as well as from breathing the

smoke and powder. We strongly urge

you to open your doors and/or win-

dows as soon as possible after impact

in order to reduce discomfort and pre-

vent prolonged exposure to the

smoke and powder.

When the air bags deploy, the air

bag related parts in 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

components immediately after an

air bag has inflated.

Installing a child restraint on a front

passenger’s seat is forbidden

Never place a rear-facing child restraint

in the front passenger’s seat. If the air

bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-

ing child restraint, causing serious or

fatal injury.

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 the cold water

immediately and consult the doctor if the

symptom persists.

In addition, do not place front-facing child

restraint in the front passenger’s seat

either. If the front passenger air bag

inflates, it would cause serious or fatal

injuries to the child.

Safety system of your vehicle

When the ignition switch is turned ON,

the indicator light should illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds, then go off.

WARNING

• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an air bag in

front of it!

Have the system checked if:

• The light does not turn on briefly when

you turn the ignition ON.

• Never put child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the front

passenger air bag inflates, it

would cause serious or fatal

injuries.

• The light stays on after illuminating for

approximately 6 seconds.

• The light comes on while the vehicle is

in motion.

• When children are seated in the

rear outboard seats in which side

air bags are equipped, be sure to

put the child restraint system as

far away from the door side as

possible, and secure the child

restraint system to be locked in

position.

SRS Care

WARNING

• If the air bags inflate, they must

be replaced by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• Modification to SRS components

or wiring, including the addition

of any kind of badges to the pad

covers or modifications to the

body structure, can adversely

affect SRS performance and lead

to possible injury.

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and so there are no parts you can safely

service by yourself. If the SRS air bag

warning light does not illuminate, or con-

tinuously remains on, have your vehicle

immediately inspected by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• 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 inflation of the air bags or

by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

• For cleaning the air bag pad cov-

ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or

one which has been moistened

with plain water. Solvents or

cleaners could adversely affect

the air bag covers and proper

deployment of the system.

Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel must be per-

formed by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-

er. 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.

An

authorized

• 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,

because any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the air bags to inflate.

HYUNDAI dealer knows these

precautions and can give you the

necessary information. Failure to

follow these precautions and pro-

cedures could increase the risk

of personal injury.

• If your car was flooded and has

soaked carpeting or water on

flooring, you shouldn't try to start

the engine; have the car towed to

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Keep occupants away from the air

bag covers. All occupants should sit

upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor. If occupants are too close to the

air bag covers, they could be injured if

the air bags inflate.

Additional safety precautions

WARNING

• 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 vehicle

resulting in serious injury or

death.

• Never let passengers ride in the

cargo area or on top of a folded-

down back seat. All occupants should

sit upright, fully back in their seats with

their seat belts on and their feet on the

floor.

• Do not attach or place objects on or

near the air bag covers. Any object

attached to or placed on the front or

side air bag covers could interfere with

the proper operation of the air bags.

• Passengers should not move out of

or change seats while the vehicle is

moving. A passenger who is not wear-

ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-

gency stop can be thrown against the

inside of the vehicle, against other

occupants, or out of the vehicle.

• Always sit upright with the seat-

back in an upright position, cen-

tered on the seat cushion with

your seat belt on, legs comfort-

ably extended and your feet on

the floor.

• Do not modify the front seats.

Modification of the front seats could

interfere with the operation of the sup-

plemental restraint system sensing

components or side air bags.

• 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.

C041400AUN

• Do not place items under the front

seats. Placing items under the front

seats could interfere with the operation

of the supplemental restraint system

sensing components and wiring har-

nesses.

Adding equipment to or modify-

ing your air bag-equipped vehicle

• Do not use any accessories on seat

belts. Devices claiming to improve

occupant 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.

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.

• Never hold an infant or child on your

lap. The infant or child could be seri-

ously injured or killed in the event of a

crash. All infants and children should

be properly restrained in appropriate

child safety seats or seat belts in the

rear seat.

• Passengers should not place hard

or sharp objects between them-

selves and the air bags. Carrying

hard or sharp objects on your lap or in

your mouth can result in injuries if an

air bag inflates.
