WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal airbag
system senses less weight than if the
occupant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor). This condition can result
in an adult potentially being
misclassified and illumination of the
"PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the "PASS
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated,
because the airbag will not deploy in
the event of a crash. If the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator remains illumi-
nated after the passenger repositions
themselves properly and the car is
restarted, Hyundai recommends that
passenger move to the rear seat be-
cause the passenger's front airbag
will not deploy.

!
CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger's front airbag is connected
with the occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will illuminate and
the passenger's front airbag will not in-
flate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupation classification
system, never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying airbag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in serious inju-
ries or death. Any child under 13
years of age should ride in the rear
seat. Children too large for child re-
straints should use the available lap/
shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
o If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.
!
NOTE:The "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 8 seconds after the ignition
is turned on. o The "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
will not change according to the occu-
pants posture after the vehicle has
been running for 30 seconds. Front
seat passengers must stay properly
seated to avoid serious injury from a
deploying airbag. For more informa-
tion see page 1-51.

WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat, the "PASS AIR BAG
OFF" indicator may be turned on or off
for a few seconds, disabling or en-
abling the passenger airbags.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
o Airbags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the airbag immediately after deploy-
ment.

Side impact sensor
Important Safety Notes on the Side
Impact Airbag SystemFollowing is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should al-
ways be observed to ensure risk of injury
is reduced in an accident.
B990B02TG-AATSide Impact Airbags (If Installed)Your Hyundai is equipped with seat-
mounted side impact airbag in each front
seat and in the outboard rear seating po-
sitions. The purpose of the airbag is to
provide the vehicle's occupants with addi-
tional protection than that offered by the
seat belt alone. The side impact airbags
are designed to deploy only during certain
side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. The side impact airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situ-
ations, collisions from the front or rear of
the vehicle or in most rollover situations.
B990B02LZ

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI56
!
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and your-
self.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side
impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side impact airbag that may
result in personal injury, avoid impact
to the side impact sensor when the
ignition key is on.
WARNING:
B990C01JM-AATCurtain AirbagCurtain airbags 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 airbags are designed to de-
ploy only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact. The curtain
airbags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
HLZ2051
Curtain Airbag
WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemen-
tal to the driver's and the passenger's
seat belt systems and is not a substi-
tute for them. Therefore 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 injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
o For best protection from the side im-
pact airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side impact
airbag, occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt prop-
erly fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steering
wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat cov-
ers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. 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
out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one person
uses the same seat belt, they could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant 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.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap or in your mouth can
result in injuries if an airbag inflates.oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifi-
cation of the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing components
or side impact airbags.
oDo 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 har-
nesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can cause occupants to be shifted too
close to a deploying airbag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown from
the vehicle resulting in serious injury
or death.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with your seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and your
feet on the floor.Adding Equipment to or Modifying
Your Airbag-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
airbag system.
