Safety features of your vehicle
How does the air bag system
operate
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see  the deflated  air bags  hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.
WARNING
Even  in  vehicles  with  air   bags,
you  and  your  passengers   must
always wear  the safety belts  pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary)   only   when   the   ignition
switch is  turned  to the  ON or  START
position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of
serious frontal or side collision in order
to help protect the occupants from seri-
ous physical injury.
•  In order to help  provide protection in a
severe  collision,   the  air   bags  must
inflate  rapidly.  The  speed  of  air  bag
inflation is a  consequence of extreme-
ly short time in which a collision occurs
and   the  need   to   get   the   air  bag
between the occupant  and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures.This speed of inflation
reduces  the   risk  of   serious  or   life-
threatening  injuries  in  a severe  colli-
sion and is thus a necessary part of air
bag design.
However,  air   bag  inflation   can  also
cause injuries which can  include facial
abrasions,  bruises and  broken  bones
because the inflation speed also caus-
es the air  bags to expand with a  great
deal of force.
SRS  and   pretensioners  contain
explosive chemicals.
If   scraping   a   vehicle   without
removing SRS  and pretensioners
from a  vehicle, it may  cause fire.
Before scraping a vehicle, we rec-
ommend   that   you   contact   an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Keep  the SRS  parts and  wirings
away from  water or  any  liquid. If
the SRS components are inopera-
tive due  to exposure  to  water or
liquids, it may cause fire or severe
injury.
There is  no single speed at  which the
air bags will inflate.
Generally,  air  bags  are   designed  to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and  its direction. These two  fac-
tors  determine   whether  the  sensors
produce   an   electronic   deployment/
inflation signal.
Air  bag    deployment  depends   on  a
number  of   factors  including   vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty  and   stiffness   of  the   vehicles  or
objects which  your  vehicle hits  in the
collision. The  determining, factors  are
not limited to those mentioned above.
There
are
even
circumstances
under which contact  with the steer-
ing  wheel  air  bag  can  cause  fatal
injuries,  especially if  the  occupant
is  positioned  excessively  close  to
the steering wheel.
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.
