‡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.

„Driver's front air bag (3)
OIK037084R
„Passenger’s front air bag
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.
WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger’s air bag inflates:
‡Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger’s panel above the glove
box where the passenger’s air
bag is located.
‡Do not install a container of liq-
uid air freshener near the instru-
ment cluster or on the instru-
ment panel surface.
What to expect after an air bag
inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates,
it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windscreen or
being able to steer. Curtain air bags
may remain partially inflated for some
time after they deploy.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions:
‡Open your windows and doors
as soon as possible after impact
to reduce prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder released
by the inflating air bag.
‡Do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag
may be very hot.
‡Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and
mild soap.
‡We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer replace the
air bag immediately after deploy-
ment. Air bags are designed to
be used only once.

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.

Safety system
Why didn’t my air bag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional pro-
tection. These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehi-
cle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing serious injury or death:
‡Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
‡Do not perform maintenance on
or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sen-
sors is altered, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
may not deploy when they
should.
‡Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
‡Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position,
when the vehicle is being towed
to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
‡We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Air bag inflation conditions
OAC3039027TU
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on

the severity of impact of the front col-
lision.
OAC3039028R
OAC3039029R
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected
by side collision sensors depending
on the severity of impact resulting
from a side impact collision. Although
the driver’s and front passenger’s air
bags are designed to inflate only in
frontal collisions, they also may inflate
in other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side impact
collisions or rollover situations (if
equipped with rollover sensor), but
they may inflate in other collisions if
the side impact sensors detect a suf-
ficient impact. If the vehicle chassis is
impacted by bumps or objects on unim-
proved roads, the air bags may deploy.
Drive carefully on unimproved roads or
on surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

3-55
03
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.

3-56
Safety system
OAC3039033TU
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 significantly reduced by such
“underride” collisions.
OHI038166
Front air bags may not inflate in roll-
over accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional occupant protection.
i Information
‡ 9ehicles equipped with rollover sen-
sor
7he side and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover situation, when it
is detected by the rollover sensor.
‡ 9ehicles not equipped with rollover
sensor
7he side and/or curtain air bags may
inflate when the vehicle is rolled over
by a side impact collision, if the vehi-
cle is equipped with side and/or cur-
tain air bags.
OAC3039034TU
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger’s panel,
front seats and roof rails be per-
formed by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. Improper handling of the
SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death take the following precau-
tions:
‡Do not attempt to modify or dis-
connect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure.
‡Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and
the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box.
‡Clean the air bag pad covers with
a soft cloth moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag cov-
ers and proper deployment of
the system.
‡We recommend that inflated air
bags be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
‡If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, cer-
tain safety precautions must be
observed. Consult a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for the nec-
essary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal
injury.

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.
