Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting  
in a safe, comfortable position plays an 
important role in driver and passenger 
safety, together with seat belts and air 
bags, in an accident.
 WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces  
friction between the seat and the 
passenger. The passenger’s hips may 
slide under the lap portion of the seat 
belt during an accident or a sudden 
stop. 
Serious or fatal internal injuries could  
result because the seat belt cannot 
operate properly. Air bags 
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air bag. 
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly 
increases the risk of injury in the event 
the air bag inflates. Move your seat as 
far back as possible from front air bags, 
while still maintaining control of the 
vehicle.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions: •	 Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the  
rear as possible while maintaining 
the ability to control the vehicle.
•	 Adjust the front passenger seat as far 
to the rear as possible.
•	 Hold the steering wheel by the rim 
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 
o’clock positions to minimize the risk 
of injuries to your hands and arms.
•	 NEVER place anything or anyone 
between you and the air bag.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger to 
place feet or legs on the dashboard 
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.

 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating side air bag, 
take the following precautions: •	 Seat belts must be worn at all times  
to help keep occupants positioned 
properly.
•	 Do not allow passengers to lean their 
heads or bodies onto doors, put their 
arms on the doors, stretch their arms 
out of the window, or place objects 
between the doors and seats.
•	 Hold the steering wheel at the 9 
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to 
minimize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
•	 Do not use any accessory seat covers. 
This could reduce or prevent the 
effectiveness of the system.
•	 Do not hang other objects except 
clothes. In an accident they may cause 
vehicle damage or personal injury 
especially when air bag is inflated.
•	 Do not place any objects over the 
air bag or between the air bag and 
yourself. Also, do not attach any 
objects around the area the air bag 
inflates such as the door, side door 
glass, front and rear pillar. 
•	 Do not place any objects between the 
door and the seat. They may become 
dangerous projectiles if the side air 
bag inflates.
•	 Do not put any objects between the 
side airbag label and seat cushion. 
They could cause harm if the vehicle 
is in a crash severe enough to cause 
the air bags to deploy.
•	 Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air bags.
•	 Do not cause impact to the doors 
when the START/STOP button is in the 
ON position as this may cause the side 
air bags to inflate.
•	 If the seat or seat cover is damaged, 
we recommend that the system be 
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer. Curtain air bags
OOS037042
OOS037043
Curtain air bags are located along both  
sides of the roof rails above the front and 
rear doors. 
They are designed to help protect the  
heads of the front seat occupants and 
the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions. 
The curtain air bags are designed to  
deploy during certain side impact 
collisions, depending on the crash 
severity. 
For vehicles equipped with a rollover  sensor the side and/or curtain air bags 
and pre-tensioners on both sides of 
the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or 
possible rollover is detected. 
The curtain air bags are not designed  
to deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations.   

03
3-49
•	
In addition to inflating in serious side  
collisions, vehicles equipped with a 
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain air 
bags will inflate if the sensing system 
detects a rollover. 
When a rollover is detected, curtain  
air bags will remain inflated longer to 
help provide protection from ejection, especially when used in conjunction 
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a 
rollover sensor)
•	 To help provide protection, the air 
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed 
of air bag inflation is a consequence 
of extremely short time in which 
to inflate the air bag between the 
occupant and the vehicle structures 
before the occupant impacts those 
structures. This speed of inflation 
reduces the risk of serious or 
lifethreatening injuries and is thus a 
necessary part of air bag design. 
However, the rapid air bag inflation  can also cause injuries which can 
include facial abrasions, bruises and 
broken bones because the inflation 
speed also causes the air bags to 
expand with a great deal of force.
•	 There are even circumstances under 
which contact with the air bag can 
cause fatal injuries, especially if the 
occupant is positioned excessively 
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of 
being injured by an inflating air bag. The 
greatest risk is sitting too close to the air 
bag. An air bag needs space to inflate. 
It is recommended that drivers sit as far 
as possible between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest while still 
maintaining control of the vehicle.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions: •	 NEVER place a child restraint in the  
front passenger seat. 
Always properly restrain children  
under age 13 in the rear seats of the 
vehicle.
•	 Adjust the front passenger’s and 
driver’s seats as far to the rear as 
possible while allowing you to 
maintain full control of the vehicle.
•	 Hold the steering wheel with 
hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions.
•	 Never place anything or anyone 
between the air bag and the seat 
occupant.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.
