Side air bags (if equipped)
OAC3039019TU
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.
The side 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 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.
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.
‡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.
‡Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
‡Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bags.

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.
‡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.
‡Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or break-
able objects. In an accident, it
may cause vehicle damage or
personal injury.
‡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.
‡Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.
How does the air bags system
operate?
OAC3039023R
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver’s front air bag module
(2) Passenger’s front air bag module*
(3) Side air bag modules*
(4) Curtain air bag modules*
(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assem-
blies*
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)/
Rollover sensor*
(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side impact sensors*
(10) Side pressure sensors*
(11) Passenger’s front air bag OFF
indicator (front passenger’s seat
only) *
(12) Passenger’s front air bag ON/
OFF switch *
* : 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.

Safety system
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).
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air
bag may not inflate properly dur-
ing an accident increasing the risk
of serious injury or death.
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 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.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.
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.
‡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.
‡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.

3-49
03
‡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)
‡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.
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.
‡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.
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.
OIK037081R
„Driver's front air bag (1)
When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.
OIK037082R
„Driver's front air bag (2)
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.
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.

Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
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.
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.
Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger seat
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.
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.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
OAC3039030TU
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.
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.
OAC3039028R
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.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the severity
of impact.
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.

Safety system
Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats whilst the vehi-
cle is moving. A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a crash
or emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or be eject-
ed from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or reposi-
tion the seat belt can reduce the pro-
tection provided by the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious injury
in a crash
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens-
ing components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may
cause the air bags to inflate.
Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag equipped vehi-
cle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle’s frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the opera-
tion of your vehicle’s air bag system.
Air bag warning labels
(if equipped)
OAC3039035R
Air bag warning labels are attached
to alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the information
about the air bags that are installed
on your vehicle in this Owner’s
Manual.

Whilst driving
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN
when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tyre tread decreas-
es, refer to “Tyre replacement” in
chapter 8.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is moving
slowly.
