Where are the airbags?

Passenger’s front airbag

The SRS consists of airbags located in the centre 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, whilst still maintaining control of the vehicle.

  • Never lean against the door or centre console.

  • Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the instrument panel.

  • No objects (such as crash pad cover, mobile phone holder, cup holder, perfume or stickers) should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, windscreen glass, and the front passenger’s panel above the glove box. Such objects could 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 windscreen and inside mirror.

Side airbags are located in each front seat. Additionally, a front centre side airbag is located in the inboard side of the driver seatback.

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

For the vehicle equipped with a rollover sensor, the front centre side airbag, 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.

  • Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to minimise the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.

  • Do not use any accessory seat covers. This could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.

  • Do not hang other objects except clothes. In an accident these may cause vehicle damage or personal injury especially when airbag is inflated.

  • Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. Also, do not attach any objects around the area the airbag inflates such as the door, side door glass, 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 impact to the doors when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON or START position as this may cause the side airbags to inflate.

  • If the seat or seat cover is damaged, we recommend to have the vehicle serviced by an authorised 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.

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:

  • All seat occupants must wear seat belts at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.

  • Properly secure Child Restraint System as far away from the door as possible.

  • Do not place any objects over the airbag. Also, do not attach any objects around the area the airbag inflates such as the door, side door glass, front and rear pillar, roof side rail.

  • Do not hang other objects except clothes, especially hard or breakable objects near airbag locations.

    In an accident, these 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 authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
