Hyundai Elantra: Air bag warning light
The display settings in your Hyundai Elantra allow you to customize how information is shown on the instrument panel. This section guides you through brightness, unit settings, and other visual preferences.
The purpose of air bag warning light in your instrument panel is to alert you of a potential problem with your air bag - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). When the ignition switch is turned ON, the indicator light should illuminate for approximately 6 seconds, then go off. Have the system checked if:
- The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON.
- The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
- The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
- The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.
Side airbags in your Hyundai Elantra serve a vital role during lateral impacts, helping to protect the torso and pelvis in seconds when it matters most. This section underscores the importance of not placing hard objects or aftermarket covers on seats where these airbags are installed. Their discreet integration into the seat structure allows for immediate deployment with minimal interference. Appreciating their placement and purpose gives you a deeper respect for how safety is built seamlessly into your everyday driving environment.
