Driver’s front airbag (3)

Passenger’s front airbag
OLMB033057
After complete inflation, the airbag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger’s airbag inflates:
• Do not install or place any objects (drink
holder, CD holder, stickers, etc.) on the
front passenger’s panel above the
glove box where the passenger’s airbag
is located.
• Do not install a container of liquid air
freshener near the instrument cluster or
on the instrument panel surface.
What to Expect After an
Airbag Inflates
After a frontal or side airbag inflates, it will
deflate very quickly. Airbag inflation will
not prevent the driver from seeing out of
the windshield or being able to steer.
Curtain airbags may remain partially
inflated for some time after they deploy.
WARNING
After an airbag inflates, take the following
precautions:
• Open your windows and doors as soon
as possible after impact to reduce
prolonged exposure to the smoke and
powder released by the inflating airbag.
• Do not touch the airbag storage area’s
internal components immediately after
an airbag has inflated. The parts that
come into contact with an inflating
airbag may be very hot.
• Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and mild
soap.
• Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replaced the airbag immediately after
deployment. Airbags are designed to
be used only once.
