Get FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI -> SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS) Guide for Hyundai Tucson SUV First Generation (2004-2009)

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

The purpose of the SRS is to provide

the vehicle's driver and/or the front

passenger with additional protection

than that offered by the seat-belt sys-

tem alone, in case of a frontal impact of

sufficient severity.

NOTE:

Be sure to read information about

the SRS on the labels provided on

the backside of the sun visor.

WARNING:

o As its name implies, the SRS is

designed to work with, and be

supplemental to, the driver's and

the passenger's three point seat

belt systems and is not a substi-

tute for them. Therefore your seat

belts must be worn at all times

while the vehicle is in motion.

The airbags deploy only in cer-

tain frontal impact conditions

severe enough to likely cause

significant injury to the vehicle

occupants.

o Improper handling of the pre-

tensioner seat belt assemblies, and

failure to heed the warnings to not

strike, modify, inspect, replace,

service or repair the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies may lead to

improper operation or inadvertent

activation and serious injury.

o Always wear seat belts when driv-

ing or riding in a motor vehicle.

o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat

belt must be discarded, contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

(AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)

B240A05F-GAT

(If installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple-

mental Restraint (Airbag) System and

lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and

passenger seating position. The indica-

tions of the system's presence are the

letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on

the airbag pad cover in the steering

wheel and the passenger's side front

panel pad above the glove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags

installed under the pad covers in the

center of the steering wheel and the

passenger's side front panel above the

glove box.

B240A01JM

Driver's Airbag

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o The driver should sit back as far as

possible while still maintaining

control of the vehicle. If you are

sitting too close to the airbag, it

can cause death or serious injury

when it inflates.

o No objects should be placed over

or near the airbag 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 airbags to deploy.

o If the airbags deploy, they must

be replaced by an authorized

Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or discon-

nect SRS wiring, or other com-

ponents of the SRS system. Do-

ing so could result in injury, due

to accidental firing of the airbags

or by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

o The SRS is designed to deploy the

airbags only when an impact is

sufficiently severe and when the

impact angle is less than 30° from

the forward longitudinal axis of

the vehicle and will not deploy in

side, rear or rollover impacts.

Additionally, the airbags will only

deploy once. Thus, seat belts

must be worn at all times.

B240A02JM

Rear impact

Side Impact

Rollover

o Front airbags are not intended to

deploy in side-impact, rear-im-

pact or rollover crashes. In addi-

tion, airbags will not deploy in

frontal crashes below the deploy-

ment threshold speed.

o Do not install a child restraint sys-

tem in the front passenger seat

position. A child restraint system

must never be placed in the front

seat. The infant or child could be

severely injured or killed by an

airbag deployment in case of an

accident.

o Do not allow children to ride in

the front passenger seat. If older

children (teenagers and older)

must ride in the front seat, make

sure they are always properly

belted and that the seat is moved

back as far as possible.

o 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 airbag is also

provided at their seating posi-

tion to minimize the risk of se-

vere injury or death in the event

of a crash. Do not sit or lean

unnecessarily close to the airbag

while the vehicle is in motion.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

B240B02L

The SRS service reminder indicator

(SRI) on the instrument panel will come

on for about 6 seconds after the igni-

tion key is turned to the 'ON' position or

after the engine is started, after which

the SRI should go out.

The airbag 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 consider-

able impact to the front of the vehicle,

it will automatically deploy the airbags.

o The SRS airbag system must de-

ploy very rapidly to provide pro-

tection in a crash. If an occupant is

out of position because of not

wearing a seat belt, the airbag may

forcefully contact the occupant

causing serious or fatal injuries.

B240B01JM-GAT

SRS Components and Functions

B240B01L

The SRS consists of the following com-

ponents:

- Driver's Airbag Module

- Passenger's Airbag Module

- SRS Service Reminder

Indicator (SRI)

- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)

The SRSCM continually monitors all

elements while the ignition is 'ON' to

determine if a frontal or near-frontal

impact is severe enough to require

airbag deployment.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

CAUTION:

When installing the container of

liquid air freshener inside the ve-

hicle, do not place it near the instru-

ment cluster nor on the instrument

panel pad surface. If there is any

leakage from the air freshener onto

these areas (Instrument cluster, in-

strument panel pad or air ventila-

tor), it may damage these parts. If

the liquid from the air freshener

does leak onto these areas, wash

them with water immediately.

Passenger's Airbag

B240B01JM

B240B03L

Upon deployment, tear seams molded

directly into the pad covers will sepa-

rate under pressure from the expan-

sion of the airbags. Further opening of

the covers then allows full inflation of

the airbags.

A fully inflated airbag in combination

with a properly worn seat belt slows

the driver's or the passenger's forward

motion, thus reducing the risk of head

or chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag

immediately starts deflating, enabling

the driver to maintain forward visibility.

Passenger's Airbag

B240B05L

WARNING:

o When the SRS is activated, there

may be a loud noise and fine dust

will be released through the ve-

hicle. These conditions are nor-

mal and are not hazardous. How-

ever, the fine dust generated dur-

ing airbag deployment may cause

skin irritation. Wash your hands

and face thoroughly with luke-

warm water and a mild soap after

an accident in which the airbags

were deployed.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

o The side impact airbag is supple-

mental to the driver's and the

passenger'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 airbags

deploy only in certain side im-

pact conditions severe enough

to cause significant injury to the

vehicle occupants.

o The SRS can function only when

the ignition key is in the 'ON'

position. If the SRS SRI does not

come on, or continuously re-

mains on, after coming on for

about 6 seconds when the igni-

tion 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 your

Hyundai dealer.

o Before you replace a fuse or dis-

connect a battery terminal, turn

the ignition key to the 'LOCK'

position or remove the ignition

key. Never remove or replace the

air bag related fuse(s) when the

ignition key is in the 'ON' posi-

tion. Failure to heed this warning

will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-

nate.

B990B04Y-AAT

Side Impact Airbag (If installed)

Your Hyundai is equipped with a side

impact airbag in each front seat. The

purpose of the airbag is to provide the

vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-

senger with additional protection than

that offered by the seat belt alone. The

side impact airbags are designed to

deploy only during certain side-impact

collisions, depending on the crash se-

verity, angle, speed and point of im-

pact. The side impact air bags are not

designed to deploy in all side impact

situations.

B990B02JM

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Do not place any objects (an um-

brella, bag, etc.) between the front

door and the front seat. Such ob-

jects may become dangerous pro-

jectiles and cause injury if the

supplemental side impact air bag

inflates.

o To prevent unexpected deploy-

ment of the side impact air bag

that may result in personal

injury,avoid impact to the side

airbag sensor when the ignition

key is on.

o For best protection from the side

impact airbag system and to

avoid being injured by the de-

ploying side impact airbag, both

front seat occupants should sit

in an upright position with the

seat belt properly fastened. The

driver's hands should be placed

on the steering wheel at the 9:00

and 3:00 o'clock positions. The

passenger's arms and hands

should be placed on their laps.

o Do not use any accessory seat

covers.

o Use of seat covers could reduce

or prevent the effectiveness of

the system.

o Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side impact

airbag.

o Do not use excessive force on

the side of the seat.

o Do not place any objects over the

airbag or between the airbag and

yourself.

B990C01LZ-GAT

Curtain Airbag (If installed)

Curtain airbags are located along both

sides of the roof rails above the front

and rear doors.

It is designed to help protect the heads

of the front seat occupants and the

rear outboard seat occupants in cer-

tain side impact collisions.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an airbag

in front of it.

o 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.

B240C01HP

The curtain airbags are designed to

deploy only during certain side impact

collisions, depending on the crash se-

verity, angle, speed and impact. The

curtain airbags are not designed to

deploy in all side impact situations,

collisions from the front or rear of the

vehicle or in most rollover situations.

B240C01JM-GAT

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and so there are no parts you can

safely service by yourself. If the SRS

SRI (Service Reminder Indicator) does

not come on, or continuously remains

on, have your vehicle immediately in-

spected by your Hyundai dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel must be

performed by a qualified Hyundai tech-

nician. Improper handling of the SRS

system may result in serious personal

injury.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Do not install a child restraint sys-

tem in the front passenger seat

position.

o A child restraint system must

never be placed in the front seat.

The infant or child could be se-

verely injured by an airbag de-

ployment in case of an accident.

o If components of the airbag sys-

tem must be discarded, or if the

vehicle must be scrapped, cer-

tain safety precautions must be

observed. Your Hyundai dealer

knows these precautions and can

give you the necessary informa-

tion. Failure to follow these pre-

cautions and procedures could

increase the risk of personal in-

jury.

o If you sell your vehicle, make

certain that this manual is trans-

ferred to the new owner.

o If your car was flooded and has

soaked carpeting or water on

flooring, you shouldn't try to start

engine; have the car towed to

authorized Hyundai dealer.

o For cleaning the airbag 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 airbag covers and proper

deployment of the system.

o No objects should be placed over

or near the airbag modules on

the steering wheel, instrument

panel, and the front passenger's

panel above the glove box, be-

cause any such object could

cause harm if the vehicle is in a

crash severe enough to cause

the airbags to inflate.

o If the airbags inflate, they must

be replaced by an authorized

Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or discon-

nect SRS wiring, or other com-

ponents of the SRS system. Do-

ing so could result in injury, due

to accidental firing of the airbags

or by rendering the SRS inopera-

tive.

o Do not replace the bumper or the

bumper guard with the one other

than the Hyundai genuine parts.

Otherwise, it can adversely af-

fect SRS performance and lead

to unexpected injury.
