Passenger’s front air bag
WARNING
• Do not install or place any
accessories (drink holder, CD
or discs holder, sticker, etc.)
on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a
vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects may
become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When installing a container of
liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if
the passenger's air bag
inflates.WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there
may be a loud noise followed
by a fine dust released in the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and are not hazardous
- the air bags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust gen-
erated during air bag deploy-
ment may cause skin or eye
irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with luke-
warm water and a mild soap
after an accident in which the
air bags were deployed.
• The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant classification systemYour 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.(Continued)
If the SRS air bag warning light
" " does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on after
illuminating for about 6 sec-
onds or blinks when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON
position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driv-
ing, 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.

Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant classification
system
*1) The system judges a person of
adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the system may rec-
ognize him/her as a child
depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. When a
larger child who has outgrown a
child restraint system sits in the
front passenger seat, the system
may recognize him/her as an
adult depending upon his/her
physique or sitting position.*3) Never install a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat.
*4) The PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indi-
cator may turn on or off when a
child above 12 months to 12
years old (with or without child
restraint system) sits in the front
passenger seat. This is a normal
condition.
WARNING - OCS system
Riding in an improper position
adversely affects the occupant
classification system (OCS) and
may result in the deactivation of
front passenger airbag. It is
important for the driver to
instruct the passenger as to the
proper seating instructions as
contained in this manual.

Safety features of your vehicle
When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the PASS AIR
BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK or 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 engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow
the system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag.If the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator
is still on, ask the passenger to move
to the rear seat.
✽NOTICE
The PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant classification
sensor will then classify the front pas-
senger after several more seconds.

Proper position
WARNING
Do not hang onto the front pas-
senger seat. Do not hang any
items, such as a seatback table
or entertainment system, on the
front passenger seatback. Do
not place feet on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place
any items under the front pas-
senger seat. Any of these could
interfere with proper sensor
operation.
WARNING - AIR BAG
"OFF" light
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
PASS AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
is illuminated, because the air
bag will not deploy in the event
of a crash. The driver must
instruct the passenger to repo-
sition himself in the seat.
Failure to properly position
yourself may lead to airbag
deactivation resulting in airbag
non-deployment in a collision. If
the PASS AIR BAG “OFF” indi-
cator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions
themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, it is recom-
mended the passenger move to
the rear seat because the pas-
senger's front air bag will not
deploy.

WARNING
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A deploying air bag can force-
fully strike a child resulting in
serious injuries or death. Any
child age 12 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children
too large for child restraints
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• If the PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is illuminated when
the front passenger's seat is
occupied by an adult and
he/she sits properly (sitting
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), have that person sit in
the rear seat.
• Do not modify or replace the
front passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach
anything such as a blanket or
seat heater to the front pas-
senger seat. This can adverse-
ly affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
• Do not sit on sharp objects
such as tools when occupying
the front passenger seat. This
can adversely affect the occu-
pant classification system.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Do not use accessory seat
covers on the front seats.
• Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as
opposed to the front seat. It is
recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear
seat, including an infant riding
in a rear-facing infant seat, a
child riding in a forward-fac-
ing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
• Air bags can only be used
once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.

Safety features of your vehicle
Driver's and passenger's front
air bagWARNING
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illu-
minate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with
the occupant classification sys-
tem. If there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator will not illuminate and
the passenger's front air bag
will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is no occu-
pant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 sec-
onds or blinks when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.
(Continued)
• A smaller-stature adult in the
front passenger’ seat who is
not seated correctly (for exam-
ple: seat excessively reclined,
leaning on the door or center
console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a
condition where the occupant
classification system senses
less weight than if the occu-
pant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being mis-
classified as a child and illu-
mination of the PASS AIR BAG
"OFF" indicator.

✽NOTICE
• Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the sun visor.
• Advanced air bags are combined
with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provide enhanced occupant
protection in frontal crashes.
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in collisions in which pro-
tection can be provided by the pre-
tensioner seat belt.WARNING
Do not place any objects under-
neath the front seats as they
could interfere with the occu-
pant classification system.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with advanced air bags, improp-
erly and unbelted occupants
can be severely injured when
the air bag inflates.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual. To reduce the chance of
serious or fatal injuries and
receive the maximum safety ben-
efit from your restraint system:
• Never place a child in any child
or booster seat in the front seat.
• ABC – Always Buckle Children
in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.

WARNING
If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, please contact the
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• If the SRS air bag warning
light remains illuminated while
the vehicle is being driven,
have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the air bag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
• Air bags can only be used once
– have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace the air bag
immediately after deployment.
• The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when
frontal impact is sufficiently
severe and when the impact
angle is toward from the for-
ward longitudinal axis of the
vehicle. Additionally, the air
bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
• Front air bags are not intended
to deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
(Continued)(Continued)
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
• Never place covers, blankets
or seat warmers on the pas-
senger seat as these may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Front and side air bags can
injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
• You and your passengers
should never sit or lean unnec-
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned driver
and passengers can be severe-
ly injured by inflating air bags.
• Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in
an upright position.
• Do not allow a passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor is illuminated, because the
air bag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe
frontal crash.
