Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and on the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to B240A03F-GAT (If Installed)!
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts mustbe worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploymentthreshold speed.
provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec-tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and inthe glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.

Driver's Airbag
!WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
NOTE:
o Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor andin the glove box.

combined with pre-tensioner seatbelts to help provided enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front airbags are not in-tended to deploy in light colli- sions in which protection can be provided by the pre-tensioner seatbelt.
tion than that offered by the seat-beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. The Dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather information about the driver's and front passenger's seatposition, the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage and im- pact severity.The driver's and front passenger's seat position sensors determine if the seats are fore or aft of a reference position.Similarly, the seat belt usage sensors determine if the driver and front passenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment's pressure based on how close the driver's seat isto the steering wheel, how close the passenger's seat is to the instrument panel and whether or not the seat beltsare fastened. The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. A lower pressure levelis provided for moderate-severity im- pacts. A higher-pressure level is pro- vided for more severe impacts.
