WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side air bag and
front center air bag, 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 air bag is inflated.
[
Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
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 air bag inflates.

[ Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.

[ Do not cause impact to the doors
when the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON or START position as this
may cause the side air bags to inflate.

[ If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Curtain air bags
ONX4030040
OTM030032
Curtain air bags 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 air bags 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 air bags
and pre-tensioners on both sides of
the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or
possible rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags 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 curtain air bag,
take the following precautions:

[
All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.

[ Properly secure Child Restraint
System as far away from the door as
possible.

[ Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.

[ Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects.
In an accident, it may cause vehicle
damage or personal injury.

[ 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.

[ Do not attempt to open or repair
the side curtain air bags yourself. If
necessary, have the air bag inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

„Driver’s front air bag (3)
ODN8039079L
„Passenger’s front air bag
ODN8039080L
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 windshield 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.

[ Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replace the air bag immediately after
deployment. Air bags are designed to
be used only once.
