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:
ś
The light does not turn on for
approximately three to six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
ś
The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately three to six
seconds.
ś
The light comes on while the vehicle
is in motion.
ś
The light blinks when the engine is
running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur.
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the
vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the control
unit will inflate the front air bags, at the
time and with the force needed.
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 by supporting the side upper
body area.
ś
Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position,
and it can be activated within about 3
minutes after the engine is turned off.
ś
Air bags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
ś
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision, its direction, or etc. These
two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
ś
The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see the
air bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
