WARNING

[Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is loose
or twisted. A loose or twisted seat
belt will not protect you properly in
an accident.

[Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to function
improperly.

[Always replace your pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.

[NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated. When
the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the pre-
tensioners become hot and can burn
you.
OLMB033040
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are shown
in the illustration above:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner
3. SRS control module
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-tensioner
seat belts. The SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is in the ON position,
and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belts and SRS air bags as soon as
possible.

How Does the Air Bag System
Operate?
OQX039027
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
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. Occupant classification system
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
ignition switch is in the ON position to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require air bag deployment or
pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
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 electrical system for
malfunctions. The light indicates that
there is a potential malfunction with your
air bag system, which could include your
side and curtain air bags used for rollover
protection.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag
may not inflate properly during an
accident increasing the risk of serious
injury or death.
If any of the following conditions occur,
your SRS is malfunctioning:

[The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.

[The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately six seconds.

[The light comes on while the vehicle
is in motion.

[The light blinks when the engine is
running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur.

3-37
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.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact
or rollover.

[Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.

[Air bags inflate in the event of certain
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, its 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 accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
[In addition to inflating in certain side
collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and curtain air
bags will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and
curtain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection
from ejection, especially when used in
conjunction with the seat belts.

[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, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to help 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 about 10
inches (25 cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA
recommends that drivers allow at least
10 inches (25 cm) between the center of
the steering wheel and the chest.

For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be
turned OFF, however, if the occupant
does not sit in the seat properly (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on the edge of the seat, or by otherwise
being out of position), this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator on the center fascia
panel. This system detects the conditions
1-4 in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the seat belt.
The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:

[Failing to sit in an upright position.

[Leaning against the door or center
console.

[Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.

[Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.

[Wearing the seat belt improperly.

[Reclining the seatback.

[Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear or
hip protection wear.

[Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.

[Putting electrical devices (e.g.
notebook, satellite radio) on the seat
with inverter charging.

Safety System
3-44

[NEVER lean on the door or center console or sit on
one side of the front passenger seat.
OLMB033104
[Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heavily
padded clothes such as ski wear and hip protector.
ODH035900K
[Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets
and cushions which cover up the car seat surface.
ODH035901K
[Do not place electronic devices such as laptops, DVD
player, or conductive materials such as water bottles
on the passenger seat.

[Do not use electronic devices such as laptops and
satellite radios which use inverter chargers.
OQX039046
[If large quantity of liquid has been spilled on the
passenger seat, the air bag warning light may
illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the seat has been completely
dried before driving the vehicle.
OQX039047

[Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the
occupant detection system, if they puncture the seat cushion.

[Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.

[When changing or replacing the seat or seat cover, use original items only.
The OCS has been developed based on using original HYUNDAI car seats only.
Altering or changing the authentic parts may result in system malfunction and
increase risk of injury when in collision. Any of the above could interfere with the
proper operation of the OCS sensor thereby increasing the risk of an injury in an
accident.

Safety System
3-46
Do Not Install a Child Restraint in the
Front Passenger’s Seat
1JBH3051
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING

[NEVER place a rear-facing or front-
facing child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat of the vehicle.

[An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting in
serious injury or death.

[Always properly restrain children in
an appropriate child restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
Why Didn’t My Air Bag Go Off in
a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision. There are certain 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. Damage to the vehicle 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 causing
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 sensors 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 HYUNDAI parts. This may
adversely affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.

[Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.

[Have all air bag repairs conducted by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
OQXI039030
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
OQX039042L
OQX039053
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,
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,
the 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
OQXI039031
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.

03
3-49
OQXI039032
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.
OQX039042L
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 additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
OQX039040L
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.
OQXI039034
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 “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
