Do not install a Child Restraint 
System on the Front Passenger’s 
Seat
OHI039193N
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.
 WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing Child 
Restraint on a seat protected by an 
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH 
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can 
occur.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a 
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 
collisions in multiple impact accidents, 
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to 
the vehicle indicates a collision energy 
absorption, and is not an indicator of 
whether or not an air bag should have 
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
 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 sensors. 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.
•	 Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent 
parts may adversely affect the 
collision and airbag deployment 
performance.
•	 Press the Engine Start/Stop button to 
the OFF or ACC position and wait for 
3 minutes when the vehicle is being 
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag 
deployment.
•	 We recommend that all air bag 
repairs are conducted by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
