Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.

The SRS service reminder indicator(SRI) on the instrument panel will illu-minate for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
B240B01NF-GAT SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Front Airbag Module
- Passenger's Front Airbag Module
- Knee bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01L

B990C01JM-GAT Curtain Airbag (If Installed)
Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants incertain side impact collisions. The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash se- verity, angle, speed and impact. Thecurtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations, collisions from the front or rear of thevehicle or in most rollover situations. HLZ2051

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This meansyou still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systemsworking, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car willnot stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shiftto a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
