How does the air bags system
operate?
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 assem-
blies
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side impact sensors
(10) Side pressure sensors
(11) Driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belt buckle sensors.
(if equipped)
The SRSCM continually monitors
SRS components except for buckle
sensor 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 air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is tur ned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.
ODH033104L/Q
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 condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
•The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Fur ther
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the front pas-
senger'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 visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.

■Passenger’s front air bag
To prevent objects from becom-
ing 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 passenger's panel above
the glove box where the pas-
senger's air bag is located.
•Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
WARNING

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 an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend any work on the
SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen-
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
OLF034058
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death take the follow-
ing precautions:
•Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
•Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passen-
ger'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 covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.
•We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
