Noise and smoke
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
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing due to the
contact of your chest with both the seat
belt and the air bag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. Open
your doors and/or windows as soon as
possible after impact in order to reduce
discomfort and prevent prolonged
exposure to the smoke and powder.
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 cold water
immediately and consult with the doctor
if the symptom persists.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air bag
related parts in the steering wheel
are very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the air bag storage areas internal
components immediately after an air
bag has inflated.
Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat
(if equipped)
OYDESA2042OYDESA2042
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-
facing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passenger’s
seat either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.

SRS components and functions
OBI3030006OBI3030006
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver’s front air bag module
(2) Passenger’s front air bag module
(3) Pre-tensioner seatbelt system*
(4) Air bag warning light
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(6) Front impact Sensor
(7) Side air bag modules*
(8) Curtain air bag modules *
(9) Side impact sensors *
* : if equippedThe SRSCM continuously monitors all
SRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
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. WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
of the SRS. We recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• 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.
• The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.

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.

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.
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.

Your vehicle is equipped with a
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 “AIR BAG” engraved 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.
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
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.
• 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
drivers and passengers can be
severely injured by inflating air bags.

4-46
Safety system
• Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright
position.
• No objects (such as crash pad cover,
cellular phone holder, cup holder,
perfume or stickers) should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instrument
panel, windshield glass, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove
box. Such objects could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
• Do not attach any objects on the
front windshield and inside mirror.
• 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, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Air bags can only be used once –
we recommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• The SRS is designed to deploy the
front air bags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe. 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, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, front air
bags will not deploy in frontal crashes
below the deployment threshold.• 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 seat back 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.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-inflation
conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional
protection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.
Side air bag (if equipped)
OIB034021OIB034021
OJK032063OJK032063
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle’s driver and/or 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, angle, speed and point
of impact. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window, or
place objects between the doors and
passengers when they are seated
on seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
WARNING
• The side air bag is supplemental 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 air bags
deploy only in certain side impact
conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
• 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 fastened. 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.
• Do not use any accessory seat covers.
• Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
• Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bag.

4-49
04
WARNING
• In order for side impact and
curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in a
proper child restraint system in the
rear seat.
• When children are seated in the rear
outboard seats, they must be seated
in the proper child restraint system.
Make sure to put the child restraint
system as far away from the door
side as possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked position.
• 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 breakable
objects. In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury.
• Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window, or
place objects between the doors and
passengers when they are seated
on seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain
air bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain air
bag system. We recommend that the
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above mentioned
instructions can result in injury or death
to the vehicle occupants in an accident.Why didn’t my air bag go off in a

Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bags (side impact and/or curtain
air bags) are designed to inflate when
an impact is detected by side collision
sensors depending on the crash severity,
speed or angles of impact resulting from
a side impact collision.
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
collisions if the front impact sensor
detect a sufficient impact. Side air bags
(side impact 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.
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 surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
OBC3030029OBC3030029
• 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 in such collisions.
OBC3030030OBC3030030
• 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 be able to
provide any additional benefit.

4-55
04
• 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.
• If the air bags inflate, we recommend
that the system be replaced 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 accidental inflation
of the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. An
authorized HYUNDAI dealer knows
these precautions and can give you
the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and
procedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you shouldn’t try to start
the engine; we recommend that
you contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Additional safety precautions
• 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.
• Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle
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 out of the
vehicle.
• 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.
• 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.
• Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
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.
• 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.

4-56
Safety system
• Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front air
bag covers could interfere with the
proper operation of the air bags.
• Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components air bags.
• 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 harnesses.
• Never hold an infant or child on
your lap. The infant or child could be
seriously 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.
WARNING
• Sitting improperly or out of position
can cause occupants to be shifted
too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be
thrown from the vehicle resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended and
your feet on the floor.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your air bag-equipped vehicle
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.
