Seven(7) airbags are installed in the Niro EV, located in the areas shown in the image
below. Before performing any emergency procedure, make sure the vehicle ignition switch
is turned off and disconnect the negative connector from the 12V auxiliary battery (located
in the left side engine compartment) to prevent accidental deployment of undeployed
airbags.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
In the Niro EV, the driver's and front passenger's seat belts are equipped with
pretensioners. When the seat belt pretensioners are activated in a collision, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the
passenger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazardous.
The seat belt
pretensioner assembly mechanisms may become hot during activation, and
may need several minutes to cool down after they have been activated.
