How does the air bags system
operate?
OBC3030023R
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver’s front air bag module
(2) Passenger’s front air bag module*
(3) Side air bag modules*
(4) Curtain air bag modules*
(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side impact sensors*
(10) Side pressure sensors*
(11) Passenger’s front air bag OFF
indicator (front passenger’s seat
only) *
(12) Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch *
* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors SRS
components whilst the ignition switch
is in the ON position 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 (Supplement 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.
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 six seconds when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.

[The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately six seconds.

[The light comes on whilst the vehicle
is in motion.

[The light blinks when the engine is
running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the SRS
as soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.

During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If the
rate of deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact.

[Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

[Air bags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.

[Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and it’s direction etc. These
two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.

[The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually 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 occupant 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 space to inflate.
It is recommended that drivers sit as far
as possible between the centre of the
steering wheel and the chest whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle.

Safety system
OIK037081R
„Driver's front air bag (1)
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front air
bags.
OIK037082R
„Driver's front air bag (2)
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 front passenger’s forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
OIK037083R
„Driver's front air bag (3)
OIK037084R
„Passenger’s front air bag
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
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 passenger’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 air bag inflates, it
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation
will not prevent the driver from seeing
out of the windscreen or being able
to steer. Curtain air bags may remain
partially inflated for some time after they
deploy.
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 cold water and mild
soap.

[We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer replace the air
bag immediately after deployment.
Air bags are designed to be used only
once.
Noise and smoke from inflating air
bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact 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 attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, 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.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
OBC3030029
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
OBC3030030
Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of
the impact. In this case, inflated air
bags would not provide any additional
benefit.
OBC3030028R
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
OGB034038
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not
be able to provide any additional benefit,
and thus the sensors may not deploy any
air bags.

Additional safety precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats whilst 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
be ejected from the vehicle.
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
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch is in the ON position may cause
the air bags to inflate.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your air bag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle’s air bag system.
Air bag warning labels
(if equipped)
OAC3039035R
Air bag warning labels are attached to
alert the passengers of potential risks of
the air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the information
about the air bags that are installed on
your vehicle in this Owner’s Manual.
