Hyundai Santa Fe: Where are the air bags? / Side air bags
.png)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front seat. The purpose
of the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s driver and the front passenger with additional
protection than that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The side air bags on both sides of the vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sensor. (if equipped with rollover sensor)
The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating side air bag
and front center air bag, take the following precautions:
- 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 minimize 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 it may
cause vehicle damage or personal injury especially when air bag is inflated.
- Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air bag
and yourself. Also, do not attach any objects around the area the air bag 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 air bag inflates.
- Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air
bags.
- 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 air bags to inflate.
- If the seat or seat cover is damaged, have the system be serviced
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and lap/shoulder
belts at both the driver and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are located in the center of the steering
wheel and the passenger’s side front panel pad above the glove box...
Curtain air bags 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...
Other information:
Vehicle Stability Management is a function of the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system. It helps the vehicle stay stable when accelerating or braking suddenly
on wet, slippery and rough roads where traction over the four tires can suddenly
become uneven...
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate normally under the following
circumstances:
The navigation is not working properly
Speed limit and road information in the navigation is not updated
The map information and the actual road is different because of real-time
GPS data or map information error
The navigation searches for a route while driving
GPS signals are blocked in areas such as a tunnel
The navigation is updated while driving
Map information is not transmitted due to infotainment system's abnormal
operation
A road that divides into two or more roads and joins again
The driver goes off course the route set in the navigation
The route to the destination is changed or canceled by resetting the navigation
The vehicle enters a service station or rest area
The speed limit of some sections changes according to the road situations
Android Auto or Car Play is operating
The navigation cannot detect the current vehicle position (ex: elevated
roads including overpass adjacent to general roads or nearby roads exist in
a parallel way)
The navigation is being updated while driving
The navigation is being restarted while driving

WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag deploying unexpectedly and causing serious
injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sensors is altered, the air bags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy when they should.
Installing bumper guards with nongenuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the collision and airbag deployment performance.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF or ACC position and
wait for 3 minutes when the vehicle is being towed to prevent inadvertent air
bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs performed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
