Operate?
OQX039027
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
6.  Air bag warning light
7.  SRS control module (SRSCM)/Rollover  sensor
8.  Front impact sensors
9.  Side impact sensors
10. Side pressure sensors
11. Occupant classification system
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint 
System Control Module) continually 
monitors all SRS components while 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 w
 arning light on the instrument 
panel displays the air bag symbol 
depicted in the illustration. The system 
checks the air bag electrical system for

there is a potential malfunction with your 
air bag system, which could include your 
side and curtain air bags used for rollover 
protection.
 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 
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON 
position.
[  The light stays on after illuminating 
for approximately six seconds.
[  The light comes on while the vehicle 
is in motion.

running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
inspect the SRS as soon as possible if 
any of these conditions occur.
