B990B04Y-EAT Side Impact Airbag (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity,angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. B990B02Y-Do The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, or comeson whilst driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi- tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
!WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor-mal and are not hazardous. How- ever, the fine dust generated dur- ing airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
