The curtain airbags 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 curtain airbag,
take the following precautions:
• All occupants must wear seat belts at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Properly secure Child Restraint System as far away from the door as possible.
• Do not place any objects over the airbag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the airbag 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 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 seats.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the side curtain airbags yourself. If
necessary, have the airbag inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
How does the Airbags System
Operate?
A3002401
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver’s front airbag module
(2) Passenger’s front airbag module
(3) Side airbag modules
(4) Curtain airbag modules
(5) Retractor pretensioner
(6) Airbag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)/Rollover sensor
(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side impact sensors (acceleration)
(10) Side impact sensors (pressure)
(11) Occupant classification system
(12) Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors.
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
Start/Stop button is ON to determine if a
crash impact is severe enough to require
airbag deployment or pretensioner seat
belt deployment.

SRS warning light
B3002501
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbag warning light on the instrument
cluster the airbag symbol depicted in the
illustration. The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions. The
light indicates that there is a potential
problem with your airbag system, which
could include your side and/or curtain
airbags used for rollover protection.
WARNING If your SRS malfunctions, the airbag 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 about 3-6 seconds when the Start/Stop button is
in the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminating for about three to 6 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the (ready indicator) is displayed on the
instrument cluster.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehicle’s
rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the control
unit will inflate the front airbags, at the
time and with the force needed.
The front airbags 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 airbags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact or
rollover by supporting the side upper
body area.
• Airbags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON or START position,
and it can be activated within about 3
minutes after the vehicle is turned off.
• Airbags inflate in the event of certain frontal or side collisions to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
• Generally, airbags are designed to inflate based upon the severity of a
collision, its direction, or etc. These two
factors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
• The front airbags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually
impossible for you to see the airbags
inflate during an accident. It is much
more likely that you will simply see the
deflated airbags hanging out of their
storage compartments after the
collision.
• In addition to inflating in serious side collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain
airbags will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain
airbags 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 airbags must inflate rapidly. The speed of
airbag inflation is a consequence of
extremely short time in which to inflate
the airbag 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 airbag
design.
However, the rapid airbag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and broken
bones because the inflation speed also
causes the airbags to expand with a
great deal of force.
• There are even circumstances under which contact with the airbag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the airbag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the
airbag. An airbag needs about 10 in. (25
cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA
recommends that drivers allow at least 10
in. (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• NEVER place a child restraint in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children under
age 13 in the rear seats of the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and driver's seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
• Hold the steering wheel with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. • Never place anything or anyone
between the airbag and the seat
occupant.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
Driver’s front airbag (1)
OLMB033054
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front
airbags.
Driver’s front airbag (2)
OLMB033055
Upon deployment, tear seam molded
directly into the pad cover will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the

motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
Driver’s front airbag (3)
OLMB033056Passenger’s front airbag
OLMB033057
After complete inflation, the airbag
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 airbag inflates:
• Do not install or place any objects (drink holder, CD holder, stickers, etc.) on the
front passenger’s panel above the
glove box where the passenger’s airbag
is located.
• Do not install a container of liquid air freshener near the instrument cluster or
on the instrument panel surface.
What to Expect After an
Airbag Inflates
After a frontal or side airbag inflates, it will
deflate very quickly. Airbag inflation will
not prevent the driver from seeing out of
the windshield or being able to steer.
Curtain airbags may remain partially
inflated for some time after they deploy.
WARNING After an airbag 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 airbag.
• Do not touch the airbag storage area’s internal components immediately after
an airbag has inflated. The parts that
come into contact with an inflating
airbag may be very hot.
• Always wash exposed skin areas thoroughly with cold water and mild
soap.
• Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer replaced the airbag immediately after
deployment. Airbags are designed to
be used only once.

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.
Proper seated position for OCS
B3003103
If the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seated in
the front passenger seat, place the
Start/Stop button in the OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting
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).
Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to enable
the passenger airbag. If the “PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF” indicator is still on, ask the
passenger to move to the rear seat.
WARNING NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride in
the front passenger seat when the
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated. During a collision, the airbag
will not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, have the passenger move to the rear seat because the airbag
will not inflate.

System on the Front Passenger’s
Seat
B3002401
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat. An
inflating airbag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

Why didn’t My Airbag Go Off in
a Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag 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 collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an airbag should have
inflated.
Airbag collision sensors
WARNING To reduce the risk of an airbag deploying
unexpectedly and causing serious injury
or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where airbags or
sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on or around the airbag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the airbags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy
when they should.
• Installing bumper guards with non-genuine Hyundai parts may
adversely affect the collision and airbag
deployment performance.
To ensure correct function of the airbag
system, have the bumper replaced with
genuine Hyundai part specified for your
vehicle.
• Press the Start/Stop button to the OFF or ACC position and wait for 3 minutes
when the vehicle is being towed to
prevent inadvertent airbag
deployment.
• Have all airbag repairs conducted by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

B3003409
Front airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
The side and curtain airbags may inflate in
a rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
B3003410
Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the
Start/Stop button is in the ON position, or
continuously remains on, have the
system be immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.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 performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. 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 precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or disconnect
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 airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove box.
• Clean the airbag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• Have the inflated airbags replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions could increase the
risk of personal injury.
