B990B03Y-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purposeof the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offeredby the seatbelt alone. The side impactairbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in allside impact situations.o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously re- mains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, orcomes on while driving, the SRSis not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle imme- diately inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
