Curtain air bags (if equipped)
OAC3039021TU
OAC3039029R
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 only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
The curtain air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact.
Do not hang heavy items on the coat
hooks for safety reasons.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating curtain air bags,
take the following precautions:
[ All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.
[ Properly secure child restraints as far
away from the door as possible.
[ Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
[ Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects. In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury.
[ 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.
[ Do not open or repair the side curtain
air bags.

Safety system
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat
OHI038169L
Never install a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. An inflating air
bag can forcefully strike a child or restraint
resulting in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
[ Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing Child Restraint
System on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
[ NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint System on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
[ Never put a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.
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.
To ensure correct function of the
airbag system we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
HYUNDAI part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.
[ Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.
[ We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
