Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-inflation
conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional
protection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.
Side air bag (if equipped)
OIB034021OIB034021
OJK032063OJK032063
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle’s driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point
of impact. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window, or
place objects between the doors and
passengers when they are seated
on seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
WARNING
• The side air bag is supplemental to
the driver’s and the passenger’s seat
belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side impact
conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
• For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air bag,
both front seat occupants should sit
in an upright position with the seat
belt properly fastened. The driver’s
hands should be placed on the
steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger’s arms and
hands should be placed on their laps.
• Do not use any accessory seat covers.
• Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
• Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bag.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the
collision energy is absorbed by the
vehicle structure.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel, the front passenger’s
panel, front seats and roof rails be
performed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Improper handling of the SRS
system may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING
• Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the body
structure, can adversely affect SRS
performance and lead to possible
injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.

• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to inflate.
• If the air bags inflate, we recommend
that the system be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could result
in injury, due to accidental inflation
of the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. An
authorized HYUNDAI dealer knows
these precautions and can give you
the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and
procedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you shouldn’t try to start
the engine; we recommend that
you contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Additional safety precautions
• Never let passengers ride in the cargo
area or on top of a folded-down back
seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat
belts on and their feet on the floor.
• Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle
is moving. A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash
or emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the
vehicle.
• Each seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
• Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase
the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the air bags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an air
bag inflates.
• Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.
