Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and wear-
ing the seat belt properly for the most
effective protection by the air bag and the
seat belt.
The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:
Failing to sit in an upright position.
Leaning against the door or centerconsole.
Sitting towards the sides of the front of the seat.
Putting their legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
Wearing the seat belt improperly.
Reclining the seatback.
Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear or hip protection wear.
Putting an additional thick cushion on the seat.
Putting electrical devices (e.g. note- book, satellite radio) on the seat with
inverter charging.Condition and operation in the front passenger Occupant Classification

Proper seated position for OCS
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator is on when an adult is seated in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position 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. If the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is still on, ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat.The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for approximate-
ly 4 seconds after the ignition switch
is in the ON position or after the
engine is started. If the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, the OCS will
then classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.
Do Not Install a Child Restraint
in the Front Passenger's Seat
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger's seat. An
inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
NOTICE
B990A01O
Never allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front passenger seat
when the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is illuminated.
During a collision, the air bag will
not inflate if the indicator is illumi-
nated. Have your passenger reposi-
tion himself in the seat. If the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the pas-
senger repositions himself proper-
ly and the vehicle is restarted, have
the passenger move to the rear
seat because the air bag will not
inflate.

Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off
in a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision. There are certain types of
accidents in which the air bag would not
be expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a colli-
sion energy absorption, and is not an
indicator of whether or not an air bag
should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
NEVER place a rear-facing or
front-facing child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat of the
vehicle.
An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting
in serious injury or death.
Always properly restrain children
in an appropriate child restraint
in the rear seat of the vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and caus-
ing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance on
or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sen-
sors is altered, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
may not deploy when they
should.
Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine HYUNDAI parts. This
may adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment perform-
ance.
Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position when
the vehicle is being towed to pre-
vent inadvertent air bag deploy-
ment.
Have all air bag repairs conduct-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Information
An inappropriately disposed bat-tery can be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) and regulation(s).
Immobilizer System
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly coded
key (or other device) is used, the
engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the immobilizer system indi-
cator should come on briefly, then go off.
If the indicator starts to blink, the system
does not recognize the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the igni-
tion switch to the ON position again.
The system may not recognize your key’s
coding if another immobilizer key or other
metal object (i.e., key chain) is near the
key. The engine may not start because
the metal may interrupt the transponder
signal from transmitting normally. If the system repeatedly does not recog-
nize the coding of the key, it is recom-
mended that you contact your HYUNDAI
dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add
other devices to it. Electrical problems
could result that may make your vehicle
inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer sys-
tem. It is designed to give years of
trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.
Information

NOTICE

vehicle, do not leave spare keys
