Side Impact Air Bags - Hyundai i10 Owner's Manual

Safety system of your vehicle
Side impact air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each seat. The purpose
of the air bag is to provide the vehicle's
driver and/or the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered by
the seat belt alone.

The side impact air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The side impact air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating side

impact air bag, take the following
precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
OIA033051 • Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.

• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag
and yourself. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area the
air bag inflates such as the door,
side door glass, front and rear pil-
lar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
• Do not put any objects between
the side air bag label and seat
cushion. It could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impact
air bags.
• Do not cause impact to the doors
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position or this may cause
the side air bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
