SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRA-
INT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
HFC1073
Driver's Airbag
B240A02F-EAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em-
bossed on the airbag pad cover in the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags
installed 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 protec-
tion than that offered by the seat belt
system alone, in case of a frontal im-
pact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the reverse side of the sun visor and
in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is
designed to work with, and be
supplemental to, the driver's and
the passenger's three point seat
belt systems and is not a substi-
tute for them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times
whilst the vehicle is in motion. In
addition, the airbags deploy only
in certain frontal impact condi-
tions severe enough to likely
cause significant injury to the ve-
hicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impact
is sufficiently severe and when
the impact angle is less than 30°
from the forward longitudinal axis
of the vehicle and will not deploy
in side, rear or rollover impacts.
Additionally, the airbags will only
deploy once. Thus, seat belts must
be worn at all times.
