Side Impact Air Bag - Hyundai Creta 2016 Owner's Manual

Safety system of your vehicle

Side impact air bag

(if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat.
2-54
The purpose of the air bag is to pro-
vide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional pro-
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
impact air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the doors,
stretch their arms out of the win-
dow, or place objects between the
doors and passengers when they
are seated on seats equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.

WARNING
•
The side impact air bag is sup-
plemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side
impact conditions
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
•
For best protection from the side
impact air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side impact air bag,
both front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed
on the steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 positions. The passen-
ger's arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
