B990B01MC-AAT Side Impact Airbag (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide thevehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact colli- sions, depending on the crash severity,angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

o Even though your vehicle is equipped with the passenger's airbag ON/OFF switch, do not in-stall a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A child re- straint system must never beplaced in the front seat. Children who are too large for child re- straint systems should alwaysoccupy the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. Chil- dren are afforded the most safetyin the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
o As soon as deactivation is no longer needed, reactivate the frontpassenger's airbag.!WARNING:
o The driver is responsible for the proper position of the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch.
o Deactivate the front passenger's
airbag only when the ignitionswitch is switched off, or the mal- function may occur in the SRSCM (SRS Control Module). And theremay be a danger that the driver's and/or passenger's front and/or side and curtain airbag may fail totrigger, or not trigger correctly during a collision.
o Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passenger'sseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.

!o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the frontdoor and the front seat. Such ob- jects may become dangerous pro-jectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal injury,avoid impact to the side impact airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supple- mental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. There-fore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion.The airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
impact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying side impact airbag, both front seatoccupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt proper- ly fastened. The driver's handsshould be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's armsand hands should be placed on their laps.

Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personalinjury.o To maintain the integrity of the
Curtain Airbag system, any work, removal or installation of the airbag and associated compo- nents (such as roof lining and sidetrims) should only be performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the bodystructure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean- ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because anysuch object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags toinflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.o Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by render-ing the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be ob- served. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa- tion. Failure to follow these pre-cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in- jury.
