Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”  
indicator is on when an adult is seated 
in the front passenger seat, place the 
Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF 
position 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 engine 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 passenger to 
move to the rear seat.
 WARNING
NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride  
in the front passenger seat when the 
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator 
is illuminated. During a collision, the 
air bag will not inflate if the indicator 
is illuminated. Have your passenger 
reposition themselves in the seat. If the 
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator 
remains illuminated after the passenger 
repositions themselves properly 
and the vehicle is restarted, have 
the passenger move to the rear seat 
because the air bag will not inflate.
NOTICE
The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”  
indicator generally illuminates for 
approximately 4 seconds after the 
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON 
or START position. But, if the Engine 
START/STOP button is pressed to the 
ON or START position within 3 minutes 
after the engine is turned OFF, the 
indicator does not illuminate. If the 
front passenger seat is occupied, 
the OCS will then classify the front 
passenger after several more seconds.

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. 
To ensure correct function of the  
airbag system, have the bumper 
replaced with genuine Hyundai part 
or the equivalent (of the genuine 
part) specified for your vehicle.
•	 Press the 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.
•	 Have all air bag repairs conducted by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free  
and there are no parts you can safely 
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag 
warning light does not illuminate 
when the Start/Stop button is in the 
ON position, or continuously remains 
on, have the system be immediately 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer. 
We recommend any work on the SRS  
system, such as removing, installing, 
repairing, or any work on the steering 
wheel, the front passenger’s panel, front 
seats and roof rails be performed by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Improper 
handling of the SRS system may result in 
serious personal injury. WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death take the following precautions: •	 Do not attempt to modify or  
disconnect the SRS components or 
wiring, including the addition of any 
kind of badges to the pad covers or 
modifications to the body structure.
•	 Do not place objects over or near 
the air bag modules on the steering 
wheel, instrument panel, and the 
front passenger’s panel above the 
glove box.
•	 Clean the air bag pad covers with 
a soft cloth moistened with plain 
water. Solvents or cleaners could 
adversely affect the air bag covers 
and proper deployment of the 
system.
•	 Have the inflated air bags be 
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
•	 If components of the air bag system 
must be discarded, or if the vehicle 
must be scrapped, certain safety 
precautions must be observed. 
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer for the necessary information. 
Failure to follow these precautions 
could increase the risk of personal 
injury.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out of  
or change seats while the vehicle 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 vehicle, against other occupants, or 
be ejected from the vehicle. 
Do not use any accessories on seat  belts.  Devices claiming to improve 
occupant comfort or reposition the seat 
belt can reduce the protection 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 sensing 
components or side air bags. 
Do not place items under the front  
seats.  Placing items under the front seats 
could interfere with the operation of the 
supplemental restraint system sensing 
components and wiring harnesses. 
Do not cause impact to the doors.  
Impact to the doors when the Start/Stop  
button is in the ON or START position 
may cause the air bags to inflate. 
Modifications to accommodate  disabilities.  If you require modification 
to your vehicle to accommodate 
a disability, contact the HYUNDAI 
Customer Connect Center at 800-633-5151. 
Adding equipment to or modifying  
your air bag equipped vehicle 
If you modify your vehicle by changing  
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system, 
front end or side sheet metal or ride 
height, this may affect the operation of 
your vehicle’s air bag system.
