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.
