When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator is on, turn the ignition
key to "LOCK" and ask the passenger to
sit properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor). Restart the engine and have
the person remain in that position for
about 30 seconds.Proper seating position

This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger
airbag. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is still on, turn the ignition key to
"LOCK" and ask the passenger to sit prop-
erly and restart the engine again. If the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
still on, ask the passenger to move to 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 recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. When a larger
child who has outgrown a child re-
straint system sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the system may recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/
her physique or posture, or objects in
the lap of the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat. Condition and operation in the front pas-

CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front airbags are connected with the
occupant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not illuminate
and the passenger's front airbags will
inflate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
NOTE:The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant classification
sensor will then classify the front pas-
senger within approximately 10 seconds
after the ignition is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification
system, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying airbag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious
injuries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear
seat. Children too large for child
restraints should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter what
type of crash, children of all ages are
safer when restrained in the rear
seat.
o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor), have that person sit in
the rear seat.

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. There-
fore your seat belts must be worn at
all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and to avoid
being injured by the deploying side
impact airbag, both front seat occu-
pants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should be
placed on the steering wheel at the
9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands should
be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat cov-
ers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.

Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Airbag SystemFollowing is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and
yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front
door and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the supplemental
side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid im-
pact to the side impact sensor when
the ignition key is on.
