B990B01TG-EAT Side Impact Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. Theair bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing while thevehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine could overheat because this belt also drivesthe water pump.!
If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stopping distance willbe increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not bedriven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repairered and is functioning normally.The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derivedfrom the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts willbe substantially increased.
