Do not sit on the passen-
ger seat wearing heavily
padded clothes such as
ski wear and hip protector.
Do not use car seat
accessories such as thick
blankets and cushions
which cover up the car
seat surface.
Do not place electronic
devices such as laptops,
DVD player, or conductive
materials such as water
bottles on the passenger
seat.
Do not use electronic
devices such as laptops
and satellite radios which
use inverter chargers.
If large quantity of liquid
has been spilled on the
passenger seat, the air
bag warning light may
illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the
seat has been completely
dried before driving the
vehicle.
Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the occupant detection sys-
tem, if they puncture the seat cushion.
Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.
When changing or replacing the seat or seat cover, use original items only. The OCS has been devel-
oped based on using original HYUNDAI car seats only. Altering or changing the authentic parts may
result in system malfunction and increase risk of injury when in collision. Any of the above could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the OCS sensor thereby increasing the risk of an injury in an accident. (continued)

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 POWER button in the OFF posi-
tion 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 vehicle 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 passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for approxi-
mately 4 seconds after the POWER
button is in the ON position or after
the vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the OCS will then classi-
fy 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 result-
ing 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 illuminat-
ed. During a collision, the air bag
will not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passen-
ger reposition himself in the
seat. If the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator remains illu-
minated 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.

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 protection. These include
rear impacts, second or third colli-
sions in multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts. Damage
to the vehicle indicates a collision
energy absorption, and is not an indi-
cator 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 chil-
dren in an appropriate child
restraint in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing 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 sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors 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 deploy-
ment performance.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Place the POWER button in
the OFF or ACC position when
the vehicle is being towed to
prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
Have all air bag repairs conduct-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver’s knee
air bag are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the the
severity of impact of the front colli-
sion.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.Although the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of col-
lisions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

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 of impact.

In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.
