grown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize
him/her as an adult depending upon his/her physique or sitting position.

Proper seated position for OCS
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is on when an adult is seat-ed in the front passenger seat, place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFFposition and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centeredon 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 allowthe system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag. If
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
B990A01ONever allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front passenger
seat when the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illu-
minated. During a collision, the
air bag will not inflate if the indi-
cator is illuminated. Have your
passenger reposition them-
selves in the seat. If the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indica-tor remains illuminated after the
passenger repositions himself
properly and the vehicle is
restarted, have the passenger
move to the rear seat because
the air bag will not inflate.
WARNING (Continued)
Do not put an electronic
device (ex. Laptop computer,
after market navigation, satel-
lite audio, video game
machine, MP3, AC inverter,
etc.) in the front passenger
seatback pocket or on the
front passenger seat.
Do not place a sitting mat on
the front passenger seat.
Do not place any items under
the front passenger seat.
Do not place sharp objects on
the front passenger seat.
These may damage the occu-
pant detection system. If theypuncture the seat cushion.
Avoid spilling liquids on the
front seat; this may cause the
OCS not to work properly.
Keep the front seat dry at alltimes.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
benefits beyond the protection of the
seat belts.Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not provide
any additional benefit.
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-tional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the severi-
ty, vehicle speed and angles ofimpact.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi-
cle is moving.A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a
crash or emergency stop can be
thrown against the inside of the vehi-
cle, against other occupants, or be
ejected from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or reposi-tion the seat belt can reduce the pro-
tection provided by the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious injury
in a crash
Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens-
ing components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraintsystem sensing components and
wiring harnesses. Do not cause impact to the doors.Impact to the doors when the ignition
switch or the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton is in the ON position may cause
the air bags to inflate. Modifications to accommodate dis- abilities.
If you require modification to your
vehicle to accommodate a disability,
contact the HYUNDAI Auto Canadaat 1-888-216-2626.
Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag equipped vehi- cle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the oper-
ation of your vehicle's air bag sys-tem.
(Continued)
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for the nec-
essary information. Failure to
follow these precautionscould increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
