Hyundai i-30: Air bag - supplemental restraint system / What to expect after an air bag
inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates,
it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windscreen or
being able to steer. Curtain air bags
may remain partially inflated for
some time after they deploy.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take
the following precautions:
- Open your windows and doors
as soon as possible after
impact to reduce prolonged
exposure to the smoke and
powder released by the inflating
air bag.
- Do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air
bag has inflated. The parts
that come into contact with an
inflating air bag may be very
hot.
- Always wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly with cold
water and mild soap.
- We recommend that a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment. Air bags are
designed to be used only once.
Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and may produce smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing
because of the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If
you experience breathing problems
after an air bag deployment, seek
medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they 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.
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat

Never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated
WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module/
Driver’s knee air bag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module
(3) Side air bag modules/
Side impact sensors
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Rear Retractor pre-tensioner
(6) Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
(7) Air bag warning light
(8) SRS control module (SRSCM)/
Rollover sensor
(9) Front impact sensors
(10) Side pressure sensors
(11) Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF indicator
(12) Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment...
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts...
Other information:
The ISLW displays the speed limit
information and overtaking restriction
through the instrument cluster
and the navigation. The ISLW
detects the traffic signs through a
front view camera, which is attached
on the upper part of the inner front
windscreen...
To signal a turn, push down on the
lever for a left turn or up for a right
turn in position (A). To signal a lane
change, move the turn signal lever
slightly and hold it in position (B).The
lever will return to the OFF position
when released or when the turn is
completed...
