B990B01TG-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger withadditional protection than that offered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy onlyduring certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
