C020100AUN-EASeat belt restraint systemThe use of seat belts reduces the risk ofaccident injury by avoiding collision withthe interior of the car and by preventingthe occupants from being thrown out ofthe car.This makes them the most impor-tant safety feature available for you andyour passengers. Adequate protection isafforded only when the belt is worn cor-rectly. You should always fasten andadjust your seatbelts before the car is putin motion and encourage your passen-gers to do the same.

SEAT BELTS

WARNING For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts mustalways be used whenever the caris moving.

Seat belts are most effectivewhen seatbacks are in theupright position.

Children age 12 and youngermust always be properlyrestrained in the rear seat. Neverallow children to ride in the frontpassenger seat. If a child over 12must be seated in the front seat,he/she must be properly beltedand the seat should be moved asfar back as possible.

Never wear the shoulder beltunder your arm or behind yourback. An improperly positionedshoulder belt can cause seriousinjuries in a crash. The shoulderbelt should be positioned midwayover your shoulder across yourcollarbone.

(Continued)

(Continued) Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job aswell. In a collision, it could evencut into you. Be sure the beltwebbing is straight and not twist-ed.

Be careful not to damage the beltwebbing or hardware. If the beltwebbing or hardware is dam-aged, replace it.

WARNINGSeat belts are designed to bearupon the bony structure of thebody, and should be worn lowacross the front of the pelvis or thepelvis, chest and shoulders, asapplicable; wearing the lap sectionof the belt across the abdominalarea must be avoided.Seat belts should be adjusted asfirmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protectionfor which they have been designed.A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.

NOTICESmall children are best protected frominjury in an accident when properlyrestrained in the rear seat by a childrestraint system that meets the require-ments of the Safety Standards of yourcountry. Before buying any childrestraint system, make sure that it has alabel certifying that it meets SafetyStandards of your country. The restraintmust be appropriate for your child'sheight and weight. Check the label onthe child restraint for this information.Refer to Child restraint system in thissection.

(Continued) Always wear the seat belts when

driving or riding in a motor vehi-cle.

If the vehicle or pre-tensionerseat belt must be discarded, con-tact an authorised Hyundai deal-er.

WARNINGAll occupants of the vehicle mustwear their seat belts at all times.Seat belts and child restraintsreduce the risk of serious or fatalinjuries for all occupants in theevent of a collision or sudden stop.Without a seat belt, occupantscould be shifted too close to adeploying air bag, strike the interiorstructure or be thrown from thevehicle. Properly worn seat beltsgreatly reduce these hazards.Always follow the precautionsabout seat belts, air bags and occu-pant seat contained in this manual.

WARNINGEvery person in your vehicle needsto be properly restrained at alltimes, including infants and chil-dren. Never hold a child in yourarms or lap when riding in a vehi-cle. The violent forces created dur-ing a crash will tear the child fromyour arms and throw the childagainst the interior. Always use achild restraint appropriate for yourchild's height and weight.

3 23


C020301AUN-EALarger childrenChildren who are too large for childrestraint systems should always occupythe rear seat and use the availablelap/shoulder belts. The lap portion shouldbe fastened snug on the hips and as lowas possible. Check belt fit periodically. Achild's squirming could put the belt out ofposition. Children are afforded the mostsafety in the event of an accident whenthey are restrained by a proper restraintsystem in the rear seat. If a larger child(over age 12) must be seated in the frontseat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoulderbelt and the seat should be placed in therearmost position. Children age 12 andunder should be restrained securely inthe rear seat. NEVER place a child age12 and under in the front seat. NEVERplace a rear facing child seat in the frontseat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-es the childs neck or face, try placing thechild closer to the centre of the vehicle. Ifthe shoulder belt still touches their faceor neck they need to be returned to achild restraint system.

C020302AKMRestraint of pregnant women Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-der belt assemblies whenever possibleaccording to specific recommendationsby their doctors. The lap portion of thebelt should be worn AS SNUGLY ANDLOW AS POSSIBLE.

C020303AUNInjured personA seat belt should be used when aninjured person is being transported.When this is necessary, you should con-sult a physician for recommendations.

C020304AUNOne person per beltTwo people (including children) shouldnever attempt to use a single seat belt.This could increase the severity ofinjuries in case of an accident.

WARNING - Shoulder beltson small children

Never allow a shoulder belt to bein contact with a childs neck orface while the vehicle is inmotion.

If seat belts are not properly wornand adjusted on children, there isa risk of death or serious injury.

WARNING - Pregnantwomen

Pregnant women must never placethe lap portion of the safety beltover the area of the abdomenwhere the fetus is located or abovethe abdomen where the belt couldcrush the fetus during an impact.

WARNING When you return the rear seatbackto its upright position after the rearseatback was folded down, be care-ful not to damage the seat belt web-bing or buckle. Be sure that thewebbing or buckle does not getcaught or pinched in the rear seat.A seat belt with damaged webbingor buckle will not be as strong andcould possibly fail during a colli-sion or sudden stop, resulting inserious injury.

C020305AFD-EADo not lie downTo reduce the chance of injuries in theevent of an accident and to achieve max-imum effectiveness of the restraint sys-tem, all passengers should be sitting upand the front seats should be in anupright position when the car is moving. Aseat belt cannot provide proper protectionif the person is lying down in the rear seator if the front seat is in a reclined position.

C020400AUN-EACare of seat beltsSeat belt systems should never be disas-sembled or modified. In addition, careshould be taken to assure that seat beltsand belt hardware are not damaged byseat hinges, doors or other abuse.

Maintenance of seat beltsWhen cleaning the seat belts, as recom-mended, avoid getting solutions into thebuckle where they may attack the lubri-cant or cause corrosion. Do not attemptto bleach or re-dye belts, as this mayaffect the webbing strength.

NOTICEDo not attempt any form of modifica-tions or repairs to seat belt components.If the retractor or other components donot operate correctly, call an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer, who will take thenecessary corrective action. Your autho-rised dealer will inspect all seat beltcomponents at regular intervals andadvise if replacement is required.Between these inspections you shouldmake regular checks to ensure that for-eign objects are not preventing completebuckle engagement.

WARNINGRiding with a reclined seatbackincreases your chance of seriousor fatal injuries in the event of a col-lision or sudden stop. The protec-tion of your restraint system (seatbelts and air bags) is greatlyreduced by reclining your seat.Seat belts must be snug againstyour hips and chest to work proper-ly. The more the seatback isreclined, the greater the chancethat an wearers hips will slideunder the lap belt causing seriousinternal injuries or the wearersneck could strike the shoulder belt.Drivers and passengers shouldalways sit well back in their seats,properly belted, and with the seat-backs upright.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMC030000BUN-EAChildren riding in the car should sit in therear seat and must always be properlyrestrained to minimise the risk of injury inan accident, sudden stop or suddenmanoeuvre. According to accident statis-tics, children are safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seats than in thefront seat. Larger children not in a childrestraint should use one of the seat beltsprovided.If the child is old enough to sit alone andthe car is not equipped with a properchild or infant seat, the child should beplaced in the rear seat and restrainedwith a lap/sash belt.You should be aware of the specificrequirements in your country. Child and/orinfant safety seats must be properlyplaced and installed in the rear seat. Youmust use a commercially available childrestraint system that meets the require-ments of the Safety Standards of yourcountry. Child restraint systems aredesigned to be secured in vehicle seats bylap belts or the lap belt portion of alap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchorand/or ISOFIX anchors (if equipped).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies, achild seat or infant seat must be used.Before buying a particular child restraintsystem, make sure it fits your car seatand seat belts, and fits your child.

Follow all the instructions provided by themanufacturer when installing the childrestraint system.

WARNING A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat on thefront passenger's seat. Should anaccident occur and cause thepassenger side air bag to deploy,it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infantor child seat. Thus only use achild restraint in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.

A seat belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it isleft in a closed vehicle on a sunnyday, even if the outside tempera-ture does not feel hot. Be sure tocheck the seat cover and bucklesbefore placing a child there.

When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the lug-gage area or fasten it with a seatbelt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a suddenstop or an accident.

(Continued)

(Continued) A child restraint system should

be placed in the vehicle's rearseat since this can make animportant contribution to safety.

Unrestrained children should notbe carried in the car. Holding achild in your arms is not a satis-factory substitute for a childrestraint system. A child held inthis manner can be crushedbetween your body and the interi-or of the car.

Children may be seriously injuredor killed by an inflating air bag.All children, even those too largefor child restraints, must ride inthe rear seat.

Before installing Child RestraintSystem to vehicles fitted withCurtain Airbags, always refer tosafety notices for Curtain Airbagsystems on this manual.Whenever installing childrestraints, use only approveddevices and refer to "ChildRestraint System" to ensure cor-rect installation and occupantprotection is maximised.

(Continued) Never leave children unattended

in a vehicle not even for a shorttime. The car can heat up veryquickly, resulting in seriousinjuries to children inside. Evenvery young children may inadver-tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-dows, or lock themselves or oth-ers inside the vehicle.

Never allow two children, or anytwo persons, to use the sameseat belt.

Children often squirm and repo-sition themselves improperly.Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm orbehind their back. Always prop-erly position and secure childrenin rear seat.

Never allow a child to stand-up orkneel on the seat or floorboard ofa moving vehicle. During a colli-sion or a sudden stop, the childcan be violently thrown againstthe vehicles interior, resulting inserious injury.

(Continued)

(Continued) Never use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks"over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.

Under all circumstances theattaching bolt must be engagedat least 5 full threads in theanchorage. If you are in doubtwith any aspect of this installa-tion please contact an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer.

Seat belts can become very hot,especially when the car is parkedin direct sunlight. Always checkseat belt buckles before fasten-ing them over a child.

Always store or secure a childseat, even when it is not in use.During a collision or a suddenstop, the child seat could bethrown inside the vehicle.

WARNINGTo reduce the chance or serious orfatal injuries: Children of all ages are safer

when restrained in the rear seat.A child riding in the front passen-ger seat can be forcefully struckby an inflating air bag resulting inserious or fatal injuries.

Always follow the instructions forinstallation and use of the childrestraint manufacturer.

Always make sure the child seatis secured properly in the car andyour child is securely restrainedin the child seat.

Never hold a child in your arms orlap when riding in a vehicle. Theviolent forces created during acrash will tear the child from yourarms and throw the child againstthe cars interior.

Never put a seat belt over your-self and a child. During a crash,the belt could press deep into thechild causing serious internalinjuries.

Upon deployment, tear seams moldeddirectly into the pad covers will separateunder pressure from the expansion of theair bags. Further opening of the coversthen allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combinationwith a properly worn seat belt, slows thedriver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, reducing the risk of head andchest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bagimmediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility andthe ability to steer or operate other con-trols.

C040400AFD-EADriver's and passenger's front airbag (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with aSupplemental Restraint (Air Bag) Systemand lap/shoulder belts at both the driverand passenger seating positions. Theindications of the system's presence arethe letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed onthe air bag pad cover in the steeringwheel and the passenger's side frontpanel pad above the glove box.

The SRS consists of air bags installedunder the pad covers in the centre of thesteering wheel and the passenger's sidefront panel above the glove box.

WARNING If an air bag deploys, there may

be a loud noise followed by a finedust released in the vehicle.These conditions are normal andare not hazardous - the air bagsare packed in this fine powder.The dust generated during airbag deployment may cause skinor eye irritation as well as aggra-vate asthma for some persons.Always wash all exposed skinareas thoroughly with lukewarmwater and a mild soap after anaccident in which the air bagswere deployed.

(Continued)

(Continued) The SRS can function only when

the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS air bag warn-ing light does not illuminate, orcontinuously remains on afterilluminating for about 6 secondswhen the ignition key is turned tothe ON position, or after theengine is started, comes on whiledriving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have yourvehicle immediately inspected byan authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Before you replace a fuse or dis-connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition switch to the LOCKposition and remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace theair bag related fuse(s) when theignition switch is in the ON posi-tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS air bag warn-ing light to illuminate.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen-ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficientseverity.

(Continued) Move your seat as far back as

practical from the front air bags,while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.

You and your passengers shouldnever sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the air bags. Improperlypositioned drivers and passen-gers can be severely injured byinflating air bags.

Never lean against the door orcentre console always sit in anupright position.

(Continued)

WARNINGAlways use seat belts and childrestraints every trip, every time,everyone! Air bags inflate withconsiderable force and in the blinkof an eye. Seat belts help keepoccupants in proper position toobtain maximum benefit from theair bag. Even with air bags, improp-erly and unbelted occupants can beseverely injured when the air baginflates. Always follow the precau-tions about seat belts, air bags andoccupant safety contained in thismanual.To reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries and receive the maxi-mum safety benefit from yourrestraint system: Never place a child in any child or

booster seat in the front seat. ABC Always Buckle Children in

the back seat. It is the safestplace for children of any age toride.

Front and side air bags can injureoccupants improperly positionedin the front seats.

(Continued) No objects should be placed over

or near the air bag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box,because any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to causethe air bags to deploy.

Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci-dental deployment of the air bagsor by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.

If the SRS air bag warning lightremains illuminated while thevehicle is being driven, have anauthorised HYUNDAI dealerinspect the air bag system assoon as possible.

(Continued)

(Continued) Air bags can only be used once

have an authorised HYUNDAIdealer replace the air bag imme-diately after deployment.

The SRS is designed to deploythe airbags only when the impactis sufficiently severe and whenthe impact is in the front orfrontal angle of the vehicle, andwill not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, theairbags will only deploy once.Thus, seat belts must be worn atall times.

Front air bags are not intended todeploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. Inaddition, front air bags will notdeploy in frontal crashes belowthe deployment threshold.

C040600AFD-EASide air bag (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with a side airbag in each front seat. The purpose ofthe air bag is to provide the vehicle's driv-er and/or the front passenger with addi-tional protection than that offered by theseat belt alone.

(Continued) Sitting improperly or out of posi-

tion can result in serious or fatalinjury in a crash. All occupantsshould sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, cen-tred on the seat cushion withtheir seat belt on, legs comfort-ably extended and their feet onthe floor until the vehicle isparked and the ignition key isremoved.

The SRS air bag system mustdeploy very rapidly to provideprotection in a crash. If an occu-pant is out of position because ofnot wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact theoccupant causing serious or fatalinjuries.

(Continued) A child restraint system must

never be placed in the front seat.The infant or child could beseverely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.

Children age 12 and under mustalways be properly restrained inthe rear seat. Never allow chil-dren to ride in the front passen-ger seat. If a child over 12 mustbe seated in the front seat, he orshe must be properly belted andthe seat should be moved as farback as possible.

For maximum safety protection inall types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver shouldalways wear their seat beltswhether or not an air bag is alsoprovided at their seating positionto minimise the risk of severeinjury or death in the event of acrash. Do not sit or lean unneces-sarily close to the air bag whilethe vehicle is in motion.

The side air bags are designed to deployonly during certain side-impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle,speed and point of impact. The side airbags are not designed to deploy in allside impact situations.

Important safety notes on the side airbag systemFollowing is a number of safety pointsconcerning this system which shouldalways be observed to ensure risk ofinjury is reduced in an accident.

(Continued) Do not install any accessories on

the side or near the side air bag. Do not place any objects over the

air bag or between the air bagand yourself.

Do not place any objects (anumbrella, bag, etc.) between thefront door and the front seat.Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and causeinjury if the supplemental side airbag inflates.

To prevent unexpected deploy-ment of the side air bag that mayresult in personal injury, avoidimpact to the side impact sensorwhen the ignition key is on.

If seat or seat cover is damaged,have the vehicle checked andrepaired by an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer. Inform that yourvehicle is equipped with side airbags.

WARNING The side air bag is supplemental

to the driver's and the passen-ger's seat belt systems and is nota substitute for them. Thereforeyour seat belts must be worn atall times while the vehicle is inmotion. The air bags deploy onlyin certain side impact conditionssevere enough to cause signifi-cant injury to the vehicle occu-pants.

For best protection from the sideair bag system and to avoid beinginjured by the deploying side airbag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright positionwith the seat belt properly fas-tened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheelat the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.The passenger's arms and handsshould be placed on their laps.

Do not use any accessory seatcovers.

Use of seat covers could reduceor prevent the effectiveness ofthe system.

WARNING Before installing child restraints,

always refer to "Child RestraintSystem" to ensure correct instal-lation and occupant protection ismaximised.

Make sure that the occupantdoes not have any body parts(head, arms & legs) protrudingoutside the restraining system. Ifan inflating airbag was to strikean infant child on the head, it maycause serious injury.

(Continued)

(Continued) Ensure the opening for the

Curtain Airbag System remainsunobstructed at all times, so thatthe airbags can inflate properly ifneeded.

The built in coat hooks shouldonly be used for light weightclothing, ensure that pockets arefree of any heavy or sharpobjects. When using coat hooks,do not hang clothes on coathangers.

The space between the occupantand the curtain airbag must neverbe occupied by children, passen-gers or pets. Occupants shouldnever lean out or have any partsof their body protruding from thewindow whilst the engine is run-ning.

Do not move the sun visor out tocover the side window if there isan item attached to it such asgarage door remote control,pens, air fresheners or the like.These objects may cause injury ifthe Curtain Airbag is deployed.

WARNING In order for side and curtain air

bags to provide its best protec-tion, both front seat occupantsand both outboard rear occu-pants should sit in an uprightposition with the seat belts prop-erly fastened. Importantly, chil-dren should sit in a proper childrestraint system in the rear seat.

When children are seated in therear outboard seats, they must beseated in the proper childrestraint system. Make sure toput the child restraint system asfar away from the door side aspossible, and secure the childrestraint system in a locked posi-tion.

(Continued)

(Continued) Do not allow the passengers to

lean their heads or bodies ontodoors, put their arms on thedoors, stretch their arms out ofthe window, or place objectsbetween the doors and passen-gers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/orcurtain air bags.

Never try to open or repair anycomponents of the side curtainair bag system. This should onlybe done by an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer.

Failure to follow the above men-tioned instructions can result ininjury or death to the vehicle occu-pants in an accident.

(Continued) Where sun blinds are fitted to the

rear doors, these must notobstruct or impair the airbag inany way.

Do not install any accessories orchildrens toys in the CurtainAirbag deployment zones, as thismay impair the operation of thesystem or throw parts of theminto the vehicle cabin causinginjury to occupants if the systemis deployed.

To maintain the integrity of theCurtain Airbag system, any work,removal or installation of theairbag and associated compo-nents (such as roof lining andside trims) should always be per-formed by a qualified vehiclerepairer.

C040800AFD-EAWhy didnt my air bag go off in acollision? (Inflation and non-infla-tion conditions of the air bag)There are many types of accidents inwhich the air bag would not be expect-ed to provide additional protection.These include rear impacts, second orthird collisions in multiple impactaccidents, as well as low speedimpacts. In other words, just becauseyour vehicle is damaged and even if itis totally unusable, dont be surprisedthat the air bags did not inflate.

WARNING Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air bagor sensors are installed.This may cause unexpected airbag deployment, which couldresult in serious personal injuryor death.

If the installation location orangle of the sensors is altered inany way, the air bags may deploywhen they should not or they maynot deploy when they should,causing severe injury or death.Therefore, do not try to performmaintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the vehiclechecked and repaired by anauthorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Side air bags (if equipped)

Side and/or curtain air bags aredesigned to inflate when an impact isdetected by side collision sensorsdepending on the strength, speed orangles of impact resulting from a sideimpact collision or rollover.

Although the front air bags (drivers andfront passengers air bags) are designedto inflate only in frontal collisions, theyalso may inflate in other types of colli-sions if the front impact sensors detect asufficient impact. Side air bags (sideand/or curtain air bags) are designed toinflate only in side impact collisions, butthey may inflate in other collisions if theside impact sensors detect a sufficientimpact.If the vehicle chassis is impacted bybumps or objects on unimproved roadsor sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drivecarefully on unimproved roads or on sur-faces not designed for vehicle traffic toprevent unintended air bag deployment.

C040802AUNAir bag non-inflation conditions In certain low-speed collisions the air

bags may not deploy. The air bags aredesigned not to deploy in such casesbecause they may not provide benefitsbeyond the protection of the seat beltsin such collisions.

OED036099M

Frontal air bags are not designed toinflate in rear collisions, because occu-pants are moved backward by theforce of the impact. In this case, inflat-ed air bags would not be able to pro-vide any additional benefit.

Front air bags may not inflate in sideimpact collisions, because occupantsmove to the direction of the collision,and thus in side impacts, frontal air bagdeployment would not provide addi-tional occupant protection.However, side or curtain air bags mayinflate depending on the intensity, vehi-cle speed and angles of impact.

In a slant or angled collision, the forceof impact may direct the occupants in adirection where the air bags would notbe able to provide any additional bene-fit, and thus the sensors may notdeploy any air bags.

OED036100M 1JBA3521M1JBA3516M

Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy braking lowers thefront portion of the vehicle causing it toride under a vehicle with a higherground clearance. Air bags may notinflate in this "under-ride" situationbecause deceleration forces that aredetected by sensors may be signifi-cantly replaced by such under-ridecollisions.

Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-dents because air bag deploymentwould not provide protection to theoccupants.However, side and/or curtain air bagsmay inflate when the vehicle is rolledover by a side impact collision, if thevehicle is equipped with side air bagsand curtain air bags.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehiclecollides with objects such as utilitypoles or trees, where the point ofimpact is concentrated to one area andthe full force of the impact is not deliv-ered to the sensors.

C040900AUNHow does the air bag systemoperate Air bags are activated (able to inflate if

necessary) only when the ignitionswitch is turned to the ON or STARTposition.

Air bags inflate instantly in the event ofserious frontal or side collision (ifequipped with side air bag or curtainair bag) in order to help protect theoccupants from serious physical injury.

There is no single speed at which theair bags will inflate.Generally, air bags are designed toinflate by the severity of a collision andits direction. These two factors deter-mine whether the sensors send out anelectronic deployment/inflation signal.

Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the densi-ty and stiffness of the vehicles orobjects which your vehicle hits in thecollision. Though, factors are not limit-ed to those mentioned above.

The front air bags will completelyinflate and deflate in an instant.

It is virtually impossible for you to seethe air bags inflate during an accident.It is much more likely that you will sim-ply see the deflated air bags hangingout of their storage compartments afterthe collision.

In order to help provide protection in asevere collision, the air bags mustinflate rapidly. The speed of air baginflation is
