Noise and powder from inflating
airbag
When the airbags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may release powder inside
the vehicle. After the airbag inflates, you
may feel discomfort while breathing. This
may be due to the impact of the airbag or
the seat belt with your chest and it may
also be due to breathing residual powder
in the air and around your vehicle. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an airbag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the powder is nontoxic, it may
cause irritation to the skin, eyes, nose,
throat, etc. If this is the case, wash and
rinse with cold water immediately and
seek medical attention if the symptoms
persist.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbag warning light on the instrument
panel displays the airbag symbol in the
illustration. The light indicates if there is a
potential problem with your airbag
system, which could include your side
and/or curtain airbags used for rollover
protection.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the airbags may
not inflate properly during a collision
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death.
Your SRS malfunctions in the following
conditions:
• The light does not turn on for about
three to six seconds when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminating for
about three to six seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehicle is
moving.
• The light blinks when the engine is
running.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the SRS as soon as possible.
