Safety system of your vehicle
• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle impacts
during a collision. The determining fac-
tors are not limited to those mentioned
above.
• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is vir-
tually impossible for you to see the air
bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after the
collision.
• To help provide protection, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of air
bag inflation is a consequence of
extremely short time in which to inflate
the air bag between the occupant and
the vehicle structures before the occu-
pant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk of
serious or life-threatening injuries and
is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and broken
bones because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with a
great deal of force.• There are even circumstances under
which contact with the air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating air bag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the air
bag. An air bag needs about 25 cm (10
inches) of space to inflate. It is recom-
mended that drivers allow at least 25 cm
(10 inches) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front air
bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver's or the passenger's forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other con-
trols.

WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger's air bag inflates:
• Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger's panel above the glove
box where the passenger's air
bag is located.
• Do not install a container of liquid
air freshener near the instrument
cluster or on the instrument
panel surface.

What to expect after an air bag
inflates
After a frontal or side impact air bag
inflates, it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver from see-
ing out of the windshield or being able to
steer. Curtain air bags may remain partially
inflated for some time after they deploy.
Noise and smoke from inflating air
bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing because of the con-
tact of your chest with both the seat belt
and the air bag, as well as from breathing
the smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If you
experience breathing problems after an
air bag deployment, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are non-
toxic, they may cause irritation to the
skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention
if the symptoms persist.
Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch (if equipped)
The purpose of the switch is to disable
the passenger’s front air bag in order to
transport occupants who are at
increased risk for air bag-related injury
due to age, size, or medical condition.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions:
• Open your windows and doors as
soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder released
by the inflating air bag.
• Do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag
may be very hot.
• Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water
and mild soap.
• We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after deploy-
ment. Air bags are designed to be
used only once.

To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag:
Insert the master key or a similar rigid
device into the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch and turn it to the OFF
position. The passenger air bag OFF
indicator ( ) will illuminate and stay on
until the passenger’s front air bag is reac-
tivated.To reactivate the passenger’s front air
bag:
Insert the master key or a similar rigid
device into the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch and turn it to the ON
position. The passenger air bag ON indi-
cator ( ) will illuminate and stay on for
60 seconds.
✽NOTICE
The passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position.

WARNING
Never allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front passenger seat
when the passenger air bag OFF
indicator is illuminated. During a
collision, the air bag will not inflate
if the indicator is illuminated. Turn
on the passenger’s front air bag or
have your passenger move to the
rear seat.

Do not install a child restraint on the
front passenger seat
Never install a child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag can
forcefully strike a child or restraint result-
ing in serious or fatal injury.If your vehicle is equipped with the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch,
you can activate or deactivate the front
passenger’s air bag when necessary. For
more details, please refer to page 3-35.
WARNING
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the
following conditions may occur:
• The air bag warning light ( ) on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate.
• The passenger air bag OFF indi-
cator ( ) will not illuminate and
the ON indicator ( ) will come
on and go off after approximately
60 seconds. The passenger’s
front air bag will inflate in a
frontal impact even though the
passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch is set to the OFF position.
• We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch and the SRS air bag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
WARNING
NEVER place a rear-facing or front-
facing child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat of the vehicle. An
inflating frontal air bag could force-
fully strike a child resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Always proper-
ly restrain children in an appropri-
ate child restraint in the rear seat of
the vehicle.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision?
(Air bags are not designed to
inflate in every collision.)
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third col-
lisions in multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing serious injury or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on
or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sen-
sors is altered, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
may not deploy when they
should.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
• We recommend that all repairs
are conducted by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
