pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side airbag, take
the following precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to minimize the
risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat covers. This could reduce or prevent the
effectiveness of the system.
• Do not hang other objects except clothes. In an accident it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury
especially when airbag is inflated.
• Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the airbag inflates such
as the door, side door glass, front and
rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between the door and the seat. They may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbags.
• Do not impact the doors when the Start/Stop button is in the ON or START
position as this may cause the side
airbags to inflate. • If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Curtain airbags
B3003301
B3003302
Curtain airbags 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 airbags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain airbags and
pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.

• To help provide protection, the airbags must inflate rapidly. The speed of
airbag inflation is a consequence of
extremely short time in which to inflate
the airbag 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 airbag
design.
However, the rapid airbag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and broken
bones because the inflation speed also
causes the airbags to expand with a
great deal of force.
• There are even circumstances under which contact with the airbag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the airbag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the
airbag. An airbag needs about 10 in. (25
cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA
recommends that drivers allow at least 10
in. (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• NEVER place a child restraint in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children under
age 13 in the rear seats of the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and driver's seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
• Hold the steering wheel with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. • Never place anything or anyone
between the airbag and the seat
occupant.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.

Driver’s front airbag (1)
OLMB033054
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front
airbags.
Driver’s front airbag (2)
OLMB033055
Upon deployment, tear seam molded
directly into the pad cover will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver’s or the front passenger’s forward

Front airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
The side and curtain airbags may inflate in
a rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
B3003410
Airbags 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
there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the
Start/Stop button is in the ON position, or
continuously remains on, have the
system be immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.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 To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death take the following precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or disconnect
the SRS components or wiring,
including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove box.
• Clean the airbag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• Have the inflated airbags replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for the
necessary information. Failure to follow
these precautions could increase the
risk of personal injury.
