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 windshield 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 lukewarm
water and mild soap.
- Always have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer 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 they leave 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.
