operate?
OTMH030008N
The SRS consists of the following 
components:
(1)
 Driver's fr
ont air bag module
(2)
 Passenger's fr
ont air bag module
(3)
 Side air bag modules
(4)
 Curtain air bag modules
(5)

Rollover sensor
(8)
 Fr
ont impact sensors
(9)
 Side impact sensors
(10) Side pressure sensors
(11) Seat belt buckle sensor
(12) Emergency fastening device system
(13) Occupant classification system
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS 
components while the ignition switch 
is ON to determine if a crash impact 
is severe enough to require air bag 
deployment or pre-tensioner seat belt 
deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) 
air bag warning light on the instrument 
panel displays the air bag symbol 
depicted in the illustration. The system 
checks the air bag electrical system for 
malfunctions. The light indicates that 
there is a potential problem with your 
air bag system, which could include 
your side and/or curtain air bags used 
for rollover protection (if equipped with 
rollover sensor).
 WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag 
may not inflate properly during an 
accident increasing the risk of serious 
injury or death.
If any of the following conditions occur, 
your SRS is malfunctioning:
•	 The light does not turn on for 
approximately three to six seconds 
when the Engine Start/Stop button is 
in the ON position.
•	 The light stays on after illuminating 
for approximately three to six 
seconds.
•	 The light comes on while the vehicle 
is in motion.
•	 The light blinks when the engine is 
running.
We recommend that an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS 
as soon as possible if any of these 
conditions occur.
