Hyundai Venue: Where Are the Air Bags? / Side air bags
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.
The side and curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a rollover
or possible rollover is detected.
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,
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 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 put any objects between the side airbag label and seat cushion.
It could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
- Do not cause impact to the doors when the ignition switch button is in
the ON position as this may cause the side air bags to inflate.
- If the seat or seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle checked and repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.
Do not install bumper guards or replace the bumper with a nongenuine
HYUNDAI parts. This may adversely affect the collision and air bag deployment
performance.
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position when the vehicle
is being towed to prevent inadvertent air bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs conducted by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
