Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
is designed to 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 driver's front air
bag is not affected or controlled by
the occupant classification system.
Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located within
the front passenger seat frame.
Electronic system to determine
whether the front passenger air
bag system should be activated or
deactivated.
An indicator light located on the
instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicating the front passenger air
bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indi-
cator light is interconnected with
the occupant classification system.
(Continued)
If the SRS air bag warning light
" " does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on after
illuminating for about 6 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position, or
after the engine is started,
comes on while driving, the
SRS is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key for ignition
key, and turn the engine
start/stop button to the OFF
position for smart key. Never
remove or replace the air bag
related fuse(s) when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON posi-
tion. Failure to heed this warn-
ing will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.
