B0059KO15
B0059KO16
A: 2nd row seat (8- seater), B: 3rd seat
The rear seat belt buckles can be stowed
in the pocket between the rear seatback
and cushion when not in use.
B0059KO17
Routing the seat belt webbing through
the rear seat belt guides will help keep
the belts from being trapped behind or
under the seats.
After inserting the seat belt, tighten the
belt webbing by pulling it up.
CAUTION
When using the seat belt, use it after
taking it out of the guides.
If you pull the seat belt when it is stored
in the guideas, it may damage the
guides and/or belt webbing.

6. Push and pull on the Child Restraint System to confirm that the seat belt
is holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps
2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot,
the retractor is in the "Automatic
Locking" mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the previous pages
for more information.
Information
When the seat belt is allowed to retract to
its fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock
mode for normal adult usage.
WARNING
If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint
is not properly anchored in the car,
including manually pulling the seat belt
all the way out to shift the retractor to
the “Automatic Locking” mode.
To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the Child Restraint System and allow the
seat belt to retract fully.

Main components of the Occupant
Classification System

[A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.

[ Electronic system to determine
whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.

[ An indicator light located on the
overhead console which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.

[ The overhead console air bag
indicator light is interconnected with
the OCS.
The OCS is designed to help detect
the presence of a properly-seated
front passenger and determine if the
passenger’s front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk
of injury or death from an inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For smaller adults it may turn
OFF, however, if the occupant does not
sit in the seat properly (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor to
turn the air bag OFF. You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator on the overhead console
panel. This system detects the conditions
1-4 in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the seat belt.
The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:

[
Failing to sit in an upright position.

[ Leaning against the door or center
console.

[ Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.

[ Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.

[ Wearing the seat belt improperly.

[ Reclining the seatback.

[ Wearing thick clothes like ski wear or
hip protection wear.

[ Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.

[ Putting electrical devices (for
example, notebook, satellite radio) on
the seat with inverter charging.

WARNING
Riding in an improper position or placing weight on the front passenger’s seat when
it is unoccupied by a passenger adversely affects the OCS. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death:
B0073KO04

[NEVER put a heavy load in the front seat or seatback
pocket, or hang any items on the front passenger
seat.
B0073KO13

[NEVER place your feet on the front passenger
seatback.
B0073KO05

[NEVER sit with your hips shifted towards the front of
the seat.
B0073KO07

[NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the
vehicle is moving.
B0073KO06

[NEVER place your feet or legs on the dashboard.

Seats & Safety System
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger's
Seat
B0073EU02
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 place a rearward-facing or
forward-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 children in
an appropriate child restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
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.

[ Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine HYUNDAI parts. This may
adversely affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.

[ Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.

[ Have all air bag repairs be conducted
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
