1 - Driver airbag
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with an additional passive safety system (inflatable airbags) SRS. The presence of this system can be determined by the presence of the inscription "SRS AIR BAG" located on the airbag cover in the steering wheel and on the panel trim on the front passenger side above the glove box.
Hyundai's SRS Supplemental Restraint System consists of airbags installed under the lining in the middle of the steering wheel and in the panel on the front passenger side above the glove box. The task of the additional passive safety system (airbags) SRS is designed to provide additional safety for the driver and/or front passenger in addition to the seat belt system in the event of moderate to severe frontal impacts.
Note: Be sure to read the SRS information on the labels located on the back of the sun visor on the driver's side and inside the glove compartment.
1 - Back kick
2 - Side kick
3 - Flipping
Warning:
- As the name of the SRS system indicates, this system is designed to complement and work in conjunction with, and is not a replacement for, the driver's and front passenger's three-point seat belts. Therefore, while in the car, you should always wear your seat belts. Furthermore, the airbags will only deploy in very severe frontal impacts sufficient to cause serious injury to vehicle occupants.
- The SRS Supplementary Restraint System is designed to deploy the airbags only in very severe impacts, when the impact occurs at an angle of 30°from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the airbags will not deploy in side and rear impacts or when the vehicle is rolled onto the roof. Also, the airbags only deploy once. Therefore, you must always wear seat belts.
- Airbags are not designed to deploy in rear, side, or rollover impacts. In addition, the airbags will not deploy in a frontal impact at speeds below a certain threshold vehicle speed.
- The driver should adjust the seat so that he is as far away from the airbag as possible, but has easy access to all vehicle controls. Do not lean or sit too close to the airbag when the vehicle is moving - serious injury may result when the airbag deploys.
- Do not place any objects on or near the airbag modules - on the steering wheel, instrument panel and front passenger panel, they may injure you when the airbags deploy.
- If the airbags have deployed, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
- Do not allow any impact or disconnect any wires and components of the additional passive restraint system (SRS) - this may cause the airbags to deploy unexpectedly or the system to malfunction, o No child restraints of any kind are allowed (child seats) in the front seat. In the event of an accident, the deployment of the front passenger's airbag could injure or kill the occupant in the restraint (child seat) child.
- Keep children out of the area in front of the front seat. If an adult child is seated in the front seat and the seat belt must be fastened and the seat must be moved back as far as possible, o For maximum protection in all types of collisions, all occupants, including the driver, must always wear their seat belts, whether or not airbags in this seat to minimize the risk of injury or death in the event of an accident (accidents).
- In order to provide protection in a collision, the SRS airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. If the occupant is not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may hit the occupant hard, resulting in serious or even fatal injury.
Functions and elements of the SRS system
Additional passive safety system (SRS) includes the following components:
- 1 - Driver front airbag assembly
- 2 - Front passenger airbag assembly
- 3 - SRS warning lamp (SRI)
- 4 - SRS electronic control unit (additional passive safety system) (SRSCM)
SRS electronic control unit (additional passive safety system) (SRSCM) constantly monitors all system components. when the ignition key is in position "ON" (On) and determines whether a frontal or near frontal impact was strong enough to deploy the airbags.
SRS warning lamp (SRI) on the instrument panel will flash for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" (On) or after starting the engine, after which this lamp should go out.
The airbags are located in the middle of the steering wheel and in the panel opposite the front passenger seat above the glove box. When the SRS ECM (additional passive safety system) (SRSCM) detects a frontal impact of sufficient force, it automatically deploys the airbags.
1 - Front passenger airbag
During the deployment of the airbags, the airbag expanding when inflated with gas knocks out the cover, which breaks along a special seam.
A fully deployed airbag in combination with a properly fastened seat belt slows the forward movement of the driver or front passenger, thereby reducing the risk of head and chest injury.
Attention: Do not place any additional equipment (cup holder, cassette holder, stickers, etc.) not next to the instrument panel, nor on the surface of the instrument panel trim above the stowage (glove) If the airbag deploys, such items may be thrown into the vehicle with force and cause serious injury to vehicle occupants.
1 - Front passenger airbag
Once the airbag is fully inflated, it immediately begins to deflate, providing the driver with forward visibility.
Attention: When placing a container with liquid air freshener in the car, do not place it near the instrument panel on the surface of the instrument panel lining. If liquid leaks from the air freshener bottle and comes into contact with these parts (instrument panel, instrument panel overlay or ventilation system deflector), it may damage these parts. If liquid from the air freshener bottle gets into these areas, immediately rinse them with water.
Warning:
- When the SRS airbag deploys, a sharp loud pop is heard and some smoke and dust is emitted (powder). These phenomena are not dangerous and are normal. However, dust (powder), produced when the airbags are inflated, can irritate the skin. After deploying the airbags, be sure to wash your face and hands with soap and warm water.
- The SRS only works when the ignition key is in the "ON" (On). If the SRS warning light does not come on or stays on after flashing for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to "ON" (On), after starting the engine or lights up while driving, this indicates a malfunction of the SRS system. Contact your authorized Hyundai dealer immediately to have the SRS system checked.
- Before changing the fuse or disconnecting the wire from the battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" ("blocking") or remove the key from the ignition. Never remove the SRS fuse with the ignition key in the "ON" (On), otherwise the SRS warning light will come on.
Side airbags
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with side airbags for each front seat. The purpose of the side airbag is to provide protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the seat belts. The side airbags are only designed to deploy in some side impacts, depending on the severity of the impact, the angle of impact, the speed of the vehicle, and the location of the impact. The side airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
1 - Side impact sensor
Warning:
- For the best protection against side airbags, the driver and front passenger should be seated with their seat belts fastened and the seatbacks should be in a nearly upright position. The driver's hands should be on the steering wheel in the position "9.00" And "3.00" hours. The front passenger's hands must be placed on their knees.
- Do not use additional seat covers.
- The use of seat covers will reduce the efficiency of the system.
- Do not install any additional equipment on or near the side airbags.
- Do not apply excessive force to the side of the seat.
- Do not place any objects on top of the airbag or between you and the airbag.
- Do not place any items (umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. When the side airbag deploys, these objects can be thrown into the vehicle interior and cause serious injury.
- Do not strike the side airbag sensor in any way when the ignition key is in the "ON" (On).
