What to expect after an air bag
inflates
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.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take
the following precautions:
•
Open your windows
doors as soon as possible
after impact to reduce pro-
longed exposure to the smoke
and powder released by the
inflating air bag.
•
Do not touch the air bag stor-
age area's internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated. The parts
that come into contact with an
inflating air bag may be very
hot.

•
Always wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly with cold
water and mild soap.
and •
We recommend that an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer replace
the air bag immediately after
deployment. Air
designed to be used only once.
