Safety system of your vehicle
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 elec-
trical system for malfunctions. The
light indicates that there is a potential
problem with your air bag system,
which could include your side and/or
curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection (if equipped with rollover sen-
sor).

WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident, increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
•
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
•
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
•
The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
•
The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle's rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driv-
er 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 or rollover 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 cer-
tain frontal or side collisions 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 deter-
mine whether the sensors produce
an electronic deployment/inflation
signal.
