• If the SRS air bag warning
light blinks or does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position,
or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, we
recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.(Continued)
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passen-
ger's front air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. 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.
• As soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.WARNING
• The driver is responsible for
the proper position of the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch.
• Deactivate the passenger's
front air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger’s and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctly
during a collision.
• Never install a rearward fac-
ing child seat on the front pas-
senger's seat unless the pas-
senger's front air bag has
been deactivated. The infant
or child could be severely
injured or killed by an air bag
deployment in case of an acci-
dent.

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 air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The curtain air bags do not only
deploy on the side of the impact but
also on the opposite side.
✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
Also, both sides of the side impact
air bags and curtain air bags deploy
in certain rollover situations.
• The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impacts.
(Continued)
• Do not allow the passengers
to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. We rec-
ommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.WARNING
• In order for side impact and
curtain air bags to provide the
best protection, both front
seat occupants and both out-
board rear occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
system in the rear seat.
• When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system.
Make sure to put the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible,
and secure the child restraint
system in a locked position.
