operate?
OBC3030023 OBC3030023
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)/
Rollover sensor*
(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 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 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, which could include
your side and/or curtain air bags used
for rollover protection (if equipped with
rollover sensor).
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 while the vehicle
is in motion.
• The light blinks when the engine is
running.
We recommend that an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS
as soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.
