The Hyundai TUCSON is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System AIR-BAG to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
When handling airbag components (removal, installation or inspection, etc.), always follow the directions given in the repair manual for the relevant model to prevent the occurrence of accidents and airbag malfunction.
Also take the following precautions when repairing the body:
1. Work must be started after approximately 30 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The airbag system is equipped with a back-up power source so that if work is started within 30 seconds of disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative(-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by the audio memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the audio system as before and adjust the clock.
2. When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-bag connectors under the steering column near the MULTI­FUNCTION SWITCH and the passenger's side crash pad before starting work.
3. Store the air-bag modules where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
4. WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached to the periphery of the air-bag components. Refer to the TUCSON SHOP MANUAL
