FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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 protection 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.
