B990C02JM-AATCurtain Air bagCurtain air bags 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 in certain
side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to de-
ploy only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact. The curtain air
bags are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations, collisions from the front
or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.

Curtain Air bag
!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact air bag.
o Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your-
self.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side
impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact air bag that may
result in personal injury, avoid impact
to the side impact sensor when the
ignition key is on.

ways refer to the "Child Restraint
System" section to ensure correct
installation and occupant protection
is maximized.
o Make sure that the occupant does not
have any body parts (head, arms &
legs) protruding outside the restrain-
ing system. If an inflating air bag was
to strike an infant child on the head, it
may cause serious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Curtain Air
Bag System remains unobstructed
at all times, so that the air bags can
inflate properly if needed.Important Safety Notes for Curtain
Air Bag SystemsFollowing are a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury

there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder
Indicator) does not illuminate, or continu-
ously remains on, have your vehicle im-
mediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury.

doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the air bag in any way.o Do not install any accessories or

pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.

tain Air Bag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the air bag and
associated components (such as roof
lining and side trims) should always
be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
