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 warning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol depict-
ed in the illustration. The system checks
the air bag electrical system for malfunc-
tions. The light indicates that there is a
potential malfunction with your air bag
system, which could include your side
and curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection.
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.
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 or
rollover.
• 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 col-
lision, its direction, etc. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
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 illuminat-
ing for approximately six sec-
onds.
•
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
•
The light blinks when the engine
is running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er inspect the SRS as soon as pos-
sible if any of these conditions
occur.
