Air Bag Warning Light; Srs Components And Functions - Hyundai tucson 2012 Owner's Manual

Air bag warning light

The purpose of the air bag warning light in
your instrument panel is to alert you of a
potential problem with your airbag system,
which could include your side and/or cur-
tain airbags used for rollover protection.
When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the warning light should illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.

If the airbag warning light remains illumi-
nated for more than 6 seconds after the
ignition is turned on, or if it illuminates
during vehicle operation, an SRS compo-
nent may not be functioning properly and
you should have your vehicle checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction in the airbag
system. Have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
