Where are the airbags?

Driver's and passenger's front airbags

The SRS consists of airbags located in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box.

The airbag locations are embossed with the letters, "AIRBAG".

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and front passenger with additional supplemental protection that the seat belt system does not provide in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from inflating front airbags:

Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front airbags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to minimize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the dashboard.
Never place any objects (such as dashboard cover, mobile phone holder, cup holder, perfume or stickers) over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, windshield glass, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box. Such objects may cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
Do not attach any objects on the front windshield and inside mirror.

Passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch

The purpose of the switch is to disable the passenger’s front airbag to help reduce the risk of injury or death from an inflating airbag to certain front passenger seat occupants due to age, size, or medical condition.

Passenger airbag ON
Passenger airbag OFF

Insert the key or a similar rigid device into the passenger’s front airbag ON/ OFF switch and turn it to the OFF position [B]. The passenger airbag OFF indicator (ő) illuminates and stays on until the passenger’s front airbag is reactivated.

To reactivate the passenger’s front airbag:

Insert the key or a similar rigid device into the passenger’s front airbag ON/OFF switch and turn it to the ON position [A]. The passenger airbag ON indicator (Ő) illuminates.

The passenger’s front airbag ON/OFF indicator illuminates for about 4 seconds after the Start/Stop button is in the ON position. If the Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position within 3 minutes after the vehicle was turned off, the indicator does not illuminate.

Never allow an adult passenger to ride in the front passenger seat when the passenger airbag OFF indicator is illuminated. During a collision, the airbag does not inflate if the indicator is illuminated. Turn on the passenger’s front airbag or have your passenger move to the rear seat.

Side airbags

Side airbags are located in each front seat.

The side airbags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity.

For the vehicle equipped with a rollover sensor, side and/or curtain airbags and pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle are designed to deploy if a rollover or possible rollover is detected.

The side airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating side airbag:

Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors, put their arms on the doors, stretch their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and seats.
Do not use any accessory seat covers. It may reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
Do not hang other objects except clothes. In an accident it may cause vehicle damage or personal injury especially when air bag is inflated.
Do not place any objects over the airbag location or between the airbag and yourself. Also, do not attach any objects around the area the airbag inflates such as door, side door glass, and front and rear pillar.
Do not place any objects between the door and the seat. They may become dangerous projectiles if the side airbag inflates.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbags.
Do not cause an impact to the doors when the Start/Stop button is in the ON or START position because the side airbags can inflate.
If the seat or seat cover is damaged, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Curtain airbags

Curtain airbags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.

They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.

The curtain airbags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity.

For the vehicle equipped with a rollover sensor, the side and/or curtain airbags and pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or possible rollover is detected.

The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating curtain airbag:

Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.
Properly secure a Child Restraint System as far away from the door as possible.
Do not place any objects over the air bag. Also, do not attach any objects around the area the air bag inflates such as door, side door glass, front and rear pillar, and roof side rail.
Do not hang other objects except clothes, especially hard or breakable objects near air bag locations. In an accident, it may cause vehicle damage or personal injury.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors, put their arms on the doors, stretch their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and seats.
Do not open or repair the side curtain airbags yourself. If necessary, we recommend that the airbag be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
