o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or
rollover crashes. In addition, airbags
will not deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. If you are sitting too
close to the airbag, it can cause death
or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in-
stalled under the pad covers in the center of
the steering wheel and the passenger’s side
front panel above the glove box. The purpose
of the SRS is to provide the vehicle’s driver
and the front passenger with additional pro-
tection when used together with the seat belt,
in case of a frontal impact.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of
the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supplemen-
tal to, the driver’s and the passenger’s
three point seat belt systems and is not
a substitute for them. Therefore, your
seat belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in motion. The
airbags deploy only in certain frontal
impact conditions severe enough to
likely cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact an-
gle is less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will
not deploy in side, rear or rollover im-
pacts. Additionally, the airbags will only
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident. Do not allow children to ride
in the front passanger seat. If older
children (teenagers and older) must ride
in the front seat, make sure they are
always propely belted and that the seat
is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants includ-
ing the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy
very rapidly to provide protection in a
crash. If an occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the occu-
pant causing serious or fatal injuries.
