WARNING:
o The side impact airbag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's seat beltsystems and is not a substitute for them.Therefore your seat belts must be worn atall times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain side impactconditions severe enough to cause sig-nificant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injuredby the deploying side impact airbag, bothfront seat occupants should sit in an up-right position with the seat belt properlyfastened. The driver's hands should beplaced on the steering wheel at the 9:00and 3:00 o'clock positions. Thepassenger's arms and hands should beplaced on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re- duce the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag.
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 umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause injury if thesupplemental side impact airbag inflates.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impactairbag in each front seat. The purpose of theairbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deploy only dur-ing certain side-impact collisions, depending onthe crash severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The side impact airbags are not de-signed to deploy in all side impact situations.
