Seats & Safety System3-54
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 air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.

[ An indicator light located on the
overhead console which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.

[ The overhead console air bag
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 air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk
of injury or death from an inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag 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 air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag 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 air bag OFF. You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
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 air bag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
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 clothes like ski wear or
hip protection wear.

[ Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.

[ Putting electrical devices (e.g.
notebook, satellite radio) on the seat
with inverter charging.

OHI038158

[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 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.

[ Have all air bag repairs performed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
ONX4030046
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a fr
ontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
ONX4030050
OTM030033
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
t
o inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity.
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.

Seats & Safety System3-62
Air bag non-inflation conditions
ONX4030047
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.
ONX4030048
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.
ONX4030049
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
the 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.

03
3-63
ONX4030051
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.
ONX4030053
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
ONX4030052
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.
