2011 Hyundai Accent seats

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI44
!
WARNING:
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side airbags.
o Never lean against the door or cen-
ter console – always sit in an upright
position.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “Pas-
senger Airbag OFF” indicator is illu-
minated, 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 im-
pact airbags), because these objects
can injure passengers in a crash.
o Never place covers, blankets or
aftermarket seat warmers on the
passenger seat as these may inter-
fere with the occupant classification
system.
!
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, improp-
erly belted and unbelted occupants can
be severely injured when the airbag in-
flates. 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 1-31).
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 posi-
tioned in the front seats.
!
WARNING:
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components. Injuries
could result from inadvertent deploy-
ment or failure of the airbag to de-
ploy in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see
pg 1-64) remains illuminated while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
o Airbags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
replace the airbag immediately after
deployment.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front airbags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the im-
pact angle is within a range as mea-
sured from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehicle. The front airbags
will not deploy in side, rear or rollover
impacts. Additionally, the airbags will
only deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.

!
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 (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.
B990A05O
- NEVER place feet on the dash-
board.
WARNING:
o If the front passenger seat is occu-
pied by a child who is not in a CRS,
the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" in-
dicator may or may not be on and the
passenger airbag may or may not
deploy in a collision. Have the child
move to a rear seat to increase their
safety.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or seat heater to the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not place sharp objects on the
front passenger seat. These may
damage the occupant classification
system, if they puncture the seat
cushion.
o Do not use accessory seat covers
on the front seats.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an airbag
inflates.
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or there is water
on the floor, do not start the engine;
have the car towed to an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can cause occupants to be shifted
too close to a deploying airbag, strike
the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle resulting in serious
injury or death.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended and
your feet on the floor. oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side impact airbag covers could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the
airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modi-
fication of the front seats could inter-
fere with the operation of the supple-
mental restraint system sensing com-
ponents or side impact airbags.
oDo not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.
Adding Equipment to or Modifying
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front
end or side sheet metal or ride height, this
may adversely affect the operation of your
vehicle's airbag system.

NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help
you load your vehicle the right
way.
The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
– like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else – they move as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strike the driver or a
passenger.
!
WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something in-
side the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

ANY QUESTIONS?E050A01A-AATIf you have any questions about the care
of your car, consult your Hyundai dealer.
E040D01A-AATCleaning the Seat BeltsTo clean the seat belts, use a cloth or
sponge with mild soap or detergent and
warm water. Do not use strong deter-
gents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials
on the seat belts as this may weaken the
fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for
excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other
signs of damage and replace them if
necessary.E040E01A-AATCleaning the WindowsYou may use any household window
cleaner on the windows. However, when
cleaning the inside of the rear window be
careful not to damage the rear window
defroster wiring.
E040C01A-AATCleaning the CarpetsUse a foam-type carpet cleaner. Clean-
ers of this type are available in aerosol
cans in liquid form or powder. Read the
instructions and follow them exactly. Us-
ing a vacuum cleaner with the appropri-
ate attachment, remove as much dirt from
the carpets as possible. Apply the foam
following the manufacturer's directions,
then rub in overlapping circles. Do not
add water. These cleaners work best
when the carpet is kept as dry as pos-
sible.
!
CAUTION:
When cleaning leather products (steer-
ing wheel, seats etc.), use neutral de-
tergents or low alcohol content solu-
tions. If you use high alcohol content
solutions or acid/alkaline detergents,
the color of the leather may fade or the
surface may get stripped off.
