Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and may produce
smoke and powder in the air inside of
the vehicle. This is normal and is a
result of the ignition of the air bag
inflator. After the air bag inflates, you
may feel substantial discomfort in
breathing because of the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and
the air bag, as well as from breathing
the smoke and powder. The powder
may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an air bag deploy-
ment, seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and seek
medical attention if the symptoms
persist.
Do not install a child restraint
on the front passenger seat
Never install a child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat. An inflating air bag
can forcefully strike a child or restraint
resulting in serious or fatal injury.
•
Always wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly with cold
water and mild soap.
•
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer replace
the air bag immediately after
deployment.
Air bags are
designed to be used only once.
