Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System - Hyundai H-1 2005 Owner's Manual

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIRBAG) SYSTEM
B240A01F-GAT
(If installed)
Driver's Side Airbag
B240A01P
Your Hyundai is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) Sys-
tem. The indications of the system's
presence are the letters "SRS AIR
BAG" embossed 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
center 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 pro-
tection than that offered by the seat-
belt system alone, in case of a frontal
impact of sufficient severity.)
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the backside 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
while 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
vehicle occupants.
BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
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.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
whether or not an airbag is also
provided at their seating posi-
tion to minimize the risk of se-
vere injury or death in the event
of a crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu-
pant is out of position because
of not wearing a seat belt, the
airbag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fa-
tal injuries.
