WARNING:
Always use seat belts and child restraints
– every trip, every time, everyone!
Airbags inflate with considerable force
and in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help
keep occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the airbag.
Even with advanced airbags, improperly
belted and unbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the airbag inflates.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety
contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries and receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint system:
o Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat (see
child restraints 1-26).
o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the
back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride.
o Front and side impact airbags can
injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
o Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front airbags, while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side airbags.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track position
sensor and cause the airbag to deploy
at a different level than should be pro-
vided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could damage
the seat track position sensor or
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
o Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seat.
These may cause a malfunction of the
seat track position sensor.NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side of the sun visor.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in frontal
crashes. Front airbags are not intended
to deploy in collisions in which sufficient
protection can be provided by the pre-
tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assis-
tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright posi-
tion.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the “Passenger
Airbag OFF” indicator is illuminated,
because the airbag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe frontal
crash.
o Never place objects over or near any
airbag module (front or side impact
airbags), because these objects can
injure passengers in a crash.
o Never place covers, blankets or after-
market seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with the
occupant classification system.
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiring
or other components. Injuries could
result from inadvertent deployment or
failure of the airbag to deploy in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg
1-50) remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
airbag system as soon as possible.
o Airbags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the airbag immediately after
deployment.
WARNING:

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI42
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. This will
allow the system to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag.
o Never excessively recline the front
passenger seatback.

o Never place feet on the dashboard.
o Never sit with hips shifted towards
the front of the seat.

WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious
injuries or death. Any child age 12 and
under 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 (sitting
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.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blanket
or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools
when occupying the front passenger
seat. This can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
o Accident statistics show that children
are safer if they are restrained in the
rear, as opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child
riding in a forward-facing child seat and
an older child riding in a booster seat.
o Air bags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the air bag immediately after
deployment.
o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated
correctly (for example: seat excessively
reclined, leaning on the center console,
or hips shifted forward in the seat) can
cause a condition where the advanced
frontal air bag system senses less
weight than if the occupant were seated
properly (sitting 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). This condition can result in an
adult potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator.
B990B05Y-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, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side impact airbags
are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.
