o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do- ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive. o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the frontseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts tominimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion. o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu- pant causing serious or fatal in- juries.

!WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. B990B01TG
Side airbag sensor
B990B01TG-GAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each seat. The pur-pose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and passengers with additional protection than that offeredby the seat belt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions,depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact airbags are not designed todeploy in all side impact situations, collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover situations.
B990B02LZo Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passenger's airbag ON/OFF switch, do not in-stall a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A child re- straint system must never beplaced in the front seat. Children who are too large for child re- straint systems should alwaysoccupy the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. Chil- dren are afforded the most safetyin the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
o As soon as deactivation is no longer needed, reactivate thefront passenger's airbag. Important Safety Notes on the Side Impact Airbag system Following is a number of safety points concerning this system which should always be observed to ensure risk ofinjury is reduced in an accident.

o The built in coat hooks should
only be used for light weight cloth- ing, ensure that pockets are free of any heavy or sharp objects. When using coat hooks, do not hangclothes on coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant
and the curtain airbag must neverbe occupied by children, passen- gers or pets. Occupants should never lean out or have any parts oftheir body protruding from the window while the engine is run- ning.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover the side window if there isan item attached to it such asgarage door remote control, pens, air fresheners or the like. These objects may cause injury if theCurtain Airbag is deployed.
o Where sun blinds are fitted to the
rear doors, these must not ob-struct or impair the airbag in any way. o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Airbag deployment zones, as thismay impair the operation of the system or throw parts of them into the vehicle cabin causing injury tooccupants if the system is de- ployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Curtain Airbag system, any work,removal or installation of the airbag and associated compo-nents (such as roof lining and side trims) should always be performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
!WARNING:
o Before installing child restraints , always refer to “Child Restraint System” to ensure correct instal- lation and occupant protection is maximized.
o Make sure that the occupant does not have any body parts (head,arms & legs) protruding outsidethe restraining system. If an inflat- ing airbag was to strike an infant child on the head, it may causeserious injury.
o Ensure the opening for the Cur-
tain Airbag System remains unob-structed at all times, so that the airbags can inflate properly if needed.
Important Safety Notes for Cur- tain Airbag Systems Following is a number of safety points concerning this system which shouldalways be observed to ensure risk of injury is reduced in an accident.
