Noise and smoke from inflating
airbag
When the airbags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the airbag inflator. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact of your chest with both the seat
belt and the airbag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an airbag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to the
skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention if
the symptoms persist.
Occupant Classification
System (OCS)
B3003102
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System (OCS) in
the front passenger’s seat.
Main components of the Occupant
Classification System
• A detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion.
• Electronic system to help determine whether the passenger airbag systems
should be activated or deactivated.
• An indicator light located on the overhead console which illuminates the
words “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger airbag
system is deactivated.
• The instrument cluster airbag 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 airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk of
injury or death from an inflating airbag to
certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the airbag
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 airbag to turn off.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger airbag 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 airbag off.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIRBAG
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 airbag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 44

wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the airbag
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 clothing 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:
• NEVER put a heavy load in the front seat or seatback pocket, or hang any
items on the front passenger seat.
B3003104
• NEVER place your feet on the front passenger seatback.
B3003107
• NEVER sit with your hips shifted towards the front of the seat.
B3003105
• NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is moving.
B3003108
• NEVER place your feet or legs on the dashboard.

Seats & Safety System
3-48
• NEVER lean on the door or center console or sit on one side of the front
passenger seat.
B3003109
• Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heavily padded clothes such as
ski wear or hip protector.
B3003110
• Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets and cushions which
cover up the car seat surface.
B3003112
• Do not place electronic devices such as laptops, DVD player, or conductive
materials such as water bottles on the
passenger seat. Do not use electronic devices such as laptops and satellite
radios which use inverter chargers.
B3003111
• If large quantity of liquid has been spilled on the passenger seat, the
airbag warning light may illuminate or
malfunction. Therefore, make sure the
seat has been completely dried before
driving the vehicle.
B3003113
• Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the
occupant detection system, if they
puncture the seat cushion.
• Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.
• When changing or replacing the seat only use Genuine Hyundai Parts. The
OCS has been developed based on
using original HYUNDAI car seats only.
Altering or changing the authentic parts
may result in system malfunction and

increase risk of injury when in collision.
Any of the above could interfere with
the proper operation of the OCS sensor
thereby increasing the risk of an injury
in an accident.

Proper seated position for OCS
B3003103
If the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seated in
the front passenger seat, place the
Start/Stop button in the OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to enable
the passenger airbag. If the “PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF” indicator is still on, ask the
passenger to move to the rear seat.
WARNING NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride in
the front passenger seat when the
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated. During a collision, the airbag
will not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, have the passenger move to the rear seat because the airbag
will not inflate.

Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger’s
Seat
B3002401
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat. An
inflating airbag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
