•	NEVER lean on the door or center console or sit on 
one side of the front passenger seat.
OJX1039069
•	Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heavily 
padded clothes such as ski wear and hip protector.
OJX1039070
•	Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets 
and cushions which cover up the car seat surface.
OJX1039071
•	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.
OJX1039072
•	If large quantity of liquid has been spilled on the 
passenger seat, the air bag warning light may 
illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the seat has been completely 
dried before driving the vehicle.
•	 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 or seat cover, use original items only. 
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.

Do not install a Child Restraint 
System on the Front Passenger’s 
Seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped 
with the OCS, never install a child 
restraint in the front passenger’s seat. 
An inflating air bag 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.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a 
collision?
There are certain types of accidents in 
which the air bag would not be expected 
to provide additional protection. These 
include rear impacts, second or third 
collisions in multiple impact accidents, 
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to 
the vehicle indicates a collision energy 
absorption, and is not an indicator of 
whether or not an air bag should have 
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag 
deploying unexpectedly and causing 
serious injury or death:
•	Do not hit or allow any objects to 
impact the locations where air bags 
or sensors are installed.
•	 Do not perform maintenance on or 
around the air bag sensors. If the 
location or angle of the sensors is 
altered, the air bags may deploy 
when they should not or may not 
deploy when they should.
•	 Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent 
parts may adversely affect the 
collision and airbag deployment 
performance.
•	 Press the Engine Start/Stop button to 
the OFF or ACC position and wait for 
3 minutes when the vehicle is being 
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag 
deployment.
•	 We recommend that all air bag 
repairs are conducted by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
OTM030014
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate 
in a frontal collision depending on the 
severity of impact of the front collision.
OTM030013
OTM030033
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed 
to inflate when an impact is detected 
by side collision sensors depending on 
the severity, speed or angles of impact 
resulting from a side impact collision.
Although the driver’s and front 
passenger’s air bags are designed to 
inflate in frontal collisions, they also may 
inflate in other types of collisions if the 
front impact sensors detect a sufficient 
impact. Side and curtain air bags are 
designed to inflate in side impact 
collisions, but they may inflate in other 
collisions if the side impact sensors 
detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are 
designed to inflate when a rollover 
is detected by a rollover sensor. (if 
equipped with rollover sensor)
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by 
bumps or objects on unimproved roads, 
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully 
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not 
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent 
unintended air bag deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
OTM030015
In certain low-speed collisions the air 
bags may not deploy. The air bags are 
designed not to deploy in such cases 
because they may not provide benefits 
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
OTM030016
Front air bags are not designed to inflate 
in rear collisions, because occupants 
are moved backward by the force of the 
impact. In this case, inflated air bags 
would not provide any additional benefit.
OTM030017
Front air bags may not inflate in side 
impact collisions, because occupants 
move in the direction of the collision, 
and thus in side impacts, front air bag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags 
and front center air bag may inflate 
depending on the severity of impact.
OTM030034
In an angled collision, the force of impact 
may direct the occupants in a direction 
where the air bags would not be able to 
provide any additional benefit, and thus 
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

OTM030018
Just before impact, drivers often brake 
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the 
front portion of the vehicle causing it 
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher 
ground clearance. Air bags may not 
inflate in this “underride” situation 
because deceleration forces that are 
detected by sensors may be significantly 
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OTM030041
Front air bags may not inflate in 
rollover accidents because front air bag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
However, the side and curtain air bags 
and front center air bag may inflate in a 
rollover situation, when it is detected by 
the rollover sensor.
OTM030019
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle 
collides with objects such as utility poles 
or trees, where the point of impact is 
concentrated and the collision energy is 
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Inside rearview mirror
Before driving your vehicle, check to 
see that your inside rearview mirror is 
properly positioned. Adjust the rearview 
mirror so that the view through the rear 
window is properly centered.
 WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not 
obstructed. Do not place objects in the 
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear 
headrests which could interfere with 
your vision through the rear window.
 WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an 
accident or deployment of the air bag, 
do not modify the rearview mirror and 
do not install a wide mirror.
 WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving. 
This may cause loss of vehicle control 
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper 
towel or similar material dampened 
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass 
cleaner directly on the mirror as this 
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter 
the mirror housing.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)  
(if equipped)
OTM050019[A] : Indicator
Some vehicles come equipped with an 
electrochromic mirror that helps control 
glare while driving at night or under low 
light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the glare is 
automatically controlled by the sensor 
mounted in the rearview mirror. The 
sensor detects the light level around the 
vehicle, and automatically adjusts to 
control the headlamp glare from vehicles 
behind you.
Whenever the the gear is shifted to R 
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically 
go to the brightest setting in order to 
improve the driver’s view behind the 
vehicle.
