virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that you
will simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.
•
Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
•
Air bags inflate in the event of cer-
tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
•
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision it’s direction etc.These two
factors determine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal.
