What To Expect After An Air Bag Inflates - Hyundai Verna Owner's Manual

Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the front pas-
senger's forward motion, reducing
the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger's air bag inflates:
•
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD holder,
stickers, etc.) on the front pas-
senger's panel above the glove
box where the passenger's air

bag is located.
•
Do not install a container of liq-
uid air freshener near the instru-
ment cluster or on the instru-
ment panel surface.

After a frontal or side air bag inflates,

it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windshield or
being able to steer. Curtain air bags
may remain partially inflated for
some time after they deploy.
