Your vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and passenger seating positions.
The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" or “AIR
BAG" embossed on the air bag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's
side front panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed under the pad covers in the center of
the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box.
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 system alone in case
of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. The SRS uses sensors to gather information
about the driver's seat position, the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.
WARNING
If the occupant classification system is not working properly, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the SRS air bag warning light is connected with the
occupant classification system. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, remains illuminated after
approximately 6 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine if the driver and front passenger's seat
belts are fastened. These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment
based on whether or not the seat belts are fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to control the air bag inflation within two
levels. A first stage level is provided for moderate- severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe impacts. According to the impact severity
and seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
Additionally, your vehicle is equipped with an occupant classification system
in the front passenger's seat. The occupant classification system detects the presence
of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's
air bag under certain conditions. For more detail, see "Occupant classification
system" in this section.
WARNING
Do not place any objects underneath the front seats as they could interfere
with the occupant classification system.
WARNING
If you are considering modification of your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1- 800-633-5151.
✽ NOTICE
- • Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on
the sun visor.
- • Advanced air bags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help
provide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front air bags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in which protection can be provided by
the pre-tensioner seat belt.
WARNING
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 advanced air bags, improperly and unbelted occupants can be severely injured
when the air bag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, air bags
and occupant safety contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the maximum
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.
- • Front and side air bags can injure occupants improperly positioned
in the front seats.
- • 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 unnecessarily close
to the air bags. Improperly positioned driver and passengers can be severely
injured by inflating air bags.
- • Never lean against the door or center console – always sit in an upright
position.
- • Do not allow a passenger to ride in the front seat when the PASS AIR
BAG "OFF" indicator is illuminated, because the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe frontal crash.
- • 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.
- • Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the passenger seat
as these may interfere with the occupant classification system.
- • Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
- • 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.
- • Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replace the air bag immediately 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
longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Additionally, the air bags will only deploy
once. Seat belts must be worn at all times.
- • Front air bags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rearimpact
or rollover crashes. In addition, front air bags will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deployment threshold.
- • Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant classification
system, do not install a child restraint system 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 air bag deployment
in case of an accident.
- • Children age 12 and under must always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger 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.
- • For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants
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 unnecessarily close
to the air bag while the vehicle is in motion.
- • Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. 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 ignition key is removed.
- • The SRS air bag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection
in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.
