Driver's Airbag
WARNING:
Rear impact
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.  In addi-
tion, the  airbags deploy only  in certain
frontal impact conditions severe enough
to likely  cause significant  injury to  the
vehicle occupants.
Side Impact
Rollover
B240C01FC
o
o
Front  airbags  are  not intended  to  de-
ploy   in  side-impact,    rear-impact    or
rollover  crashes.  In   addition,  airbags
will   not   normally   deploy   in   frontal
crashes  below the  deployment thresh-
old speed.
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.
HFC1073
Your Hyundai is equipped  with a Supplemen-
tal Restraint (Airbag) System.  The indications
of the system's presence are the  letters "SRS
AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag  pad cover
in  the  steering  wheel  and   the  passenger's
side front  panel pad  above the glove  box.
o
The  SRS   is  designed   to  deploy   the
airbags  only  when an  impact  is  suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact angle
is less than  30° from the forward  longi-
tudinal axis  of the  vehicle and  will not
deploy in side, rear or  rollover impacts.
Additionally,  the  airbags  will  only  de-
ploy  once.  Thus,   seat  belts  must  be
worn at  all times.
The  Hyundai   SRS  consists   of  airbags  in-
stalled under  the pad covers  in the  centre 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/or  the   front  passenger  with   additional
protection  than that  offered  by the  seat  belt
system  alone, in  case of  a  frontal impact  of
sufficient  severity.
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.
