SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint System)
air bag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the air bag symbol depicted
in the illustration. The system checks the
air bag electrical system for malfunctions.
The light indicates that there is a potential
problem with your air bag system.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag
may not inflate properly during an
accident increasing the risk of seri-
ous injury or death.
If any of the following conditions
occur, your SRS is malfunctioning:
• The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds when
the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminat-
ing for approximately six sec-
onds.
• The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.

• The light blinks when the engine
is running.
We recommend that an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer inspect the SRS as
soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.
Safety system of your vehicle
During a moderate to severe frontal colli-
sion, sensors will detect the vehicle's
rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceler-
ation is high enough, the control unit will
inflate the front air bags, at the time and
with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact by
supporting the side upper body area.
• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
• Air bags inflate in the event of a severe
frontal or side collision to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
• There is no single speed at which the
air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags
are designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
These two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
