Srs Care - Hyundai Santa Fe Owner's Manual

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.

SRS care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
OTM038073
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel,
front seats and roof rails be performed
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death take the follow-
ing precautions:
•
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
WARNING
•
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove
box.
•
Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
•
We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
Consult a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer for the neces-
sary information. Failure to
follow these precautions
could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
