!
The occupant classification system is designed
to enable(may inflate) the right front passenger's
frontal air bag anytime the system senses that
a person of adult size is sitting properly in the
right front passenger's seat. When the passen-
ger sensing system has allowed the air bag to
be enabled, the indicator will turn off and stay
turned off to remind you that the air bag is active.
For some children who have outgrown child
restraints and for very small adults, the occu-
pant classification system may or may not turn
off the right front passenger's frontal air bag,
depending upon the person's seating posture
and body build.
If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front
passenger's seat, but the indicator is turned on,
it could be because that person isn't sitting
properly in the seat. The right front passenger
should sit upright, centered on the seat cushion,
with their seat belt on and legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and with the seat in
an upright position.
Aftermarket equipment, such as seat covers,
can affect how the occupant classification sys-
tem operates. Do not use seat covers or other
aftermarket equipment if your vehicle has the
occupant classification system.

B990B02JM-AATPassenger Air Bag Status IndicatorIf your vehicle has the occupant classification
system, your instrument panel will have a pas-
senger air bag status indicator.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or
START, the passenger air bag status indicator
will be turned on and off for several seconds as
a system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will be turned on
or off to let you know the status of the right front
passenger's frontal air bag.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
illuminated, it means that the right front
passenger's frontal air bag is disabled. If the
indicator is not illuminated, it means that the right
front passenger's frontal air bag is enabled.

CAUTION:
Stowing of articles under the passenger's
seat or between the passenger's seat cush-
ion and seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the occupant classifi-
cation system.
WARNING
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that person.

The occupant classification system can func-
tion only when the ignition key is in the "ON"
position. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an adult who
is seated properly sitting upright and with the
seat in an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with their seat belt on and legs comfort-
ably extended feet on the floor, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" status indi-
cator light is on or off under the following

WARNING:
o A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger's air bag inflates. Don't
use a rear-facing child restraint in the
right front passenger's seat.
o If the indicator and the air bag readiness
light ever illuminate at the same time, it
means that something may be wrong
with the air bag system. If this ever
happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly, because an adult-size person
sitting in the right front passenger seat
may not have the supplemental protec-
tion of the frontal air bag.
o If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
airbag is connected with the occupant
classification system.
o If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG" indicator will illuminate and
the front passenger's airbag will not
deploy in frontal crashes.
!
WARNING:
o If the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to "ON" position, if it remains illumi-
nated after coming on for approximately
6 seconds, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system with the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat. The
infant or child could be severely injured
or killed by an airbag deployment in case
of an accident. A child restraint system
must never be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. Children are afforded the
most safety in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a proper
restraint system in the rear seat. *1) The system judges a person of adult size as
an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the system may detect him/
her as a child depending on his/her physique
and posture.*2) When a larger child who has outgrown a child
restraint system sits in the passenger seat,
the system may detect him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique and posture.

WARNING:
o The occupant classification system can
function only when the ignition key is in
the "ON" position. If the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat is occu-
pied by an adult who is seated properly
(sitting upright with the seat in an up-
right position, centered on the seat cush-
ion, with the person's legs comfortably
extended, and feet on the floor), have
your vehicle immediately inspected by
your Hyundai dealer.
o If luggage or other objects are placed on
the front passenger's seat, the "Passen-
ger Airbag Off" indicator may be illumi-
nated. These conditions do not indicate
a problem.
o If an adult front seat passenger changes
their seating position(for example, not
sitting upright, sitting slouched , sitting
with legs spread, or otherwise being out
of position), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator may illuminate, and the
passenger's airbag may illuminate not
deploy in a collision. Always be sure to
sit properly in the front passenger seat
and wear the seat belt properly.o Do not modify or replace the front pas-
senger seat. Don't place or attach any-
thing on the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occupant clas-
sification system.
o Do not install accessory seat covers on
the front passenger seats.
B990B01JM-AATSide Impact AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side-impact collisions, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and point
of impact. The side impact airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING:
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Your seat belts must be worn at all
times while the vehicle is in motion. The
airbags deploy only in certain side im-
pact conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
o For best protection from the side impact
airbag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side impact airbag,
!
HTB072
Side airbag
sensorboth front seat occupants should sit in
an upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering wheel
at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on or near
the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of
the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury
if the supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of
the side impact air bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the side
airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
B990C01LZ-GATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags are located along both sides of
the roof rails above the front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of
the front seat occupants and the rear outboard
seat occupants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact.
The curtain airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
