anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.

WARNING
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can force-
fully 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.
The occupant classification system may not work properly
if water, coffee or any other
liquid on the front passenger
seat. Keep the front seat dry
at all times.
(Continued)
(Continued)
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, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor), have that
person sit in the rear seat.
Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach
anything such as a blanket or
seat heater to the front pas-
senger seat. This can adverse-
ly affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools when occupying
the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not use accessory seatcovers on the front seats.
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-fac-
ing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
