WARNING:
Always use seat belts and child restraints
– every trip, every time, everyone!
Airbags 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 airbag.
Even with advanced airbags, improp-
erly and unbelted occupants can be se-
verely injured when the airbag inflates.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries and receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint system:
o Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat (see
child restraints 1-26).
o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the
back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride.
o Front and side impact airbags can
injure occupants improperly posi-
tioned in the front seats.
o Move your seat as far back as prac-
tical from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat position
sensor and cause the airbag to de-
ploy at a different level than should be
provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats which could damage
the seat position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seats. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat position sensor.
NOTE:
o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the
backside of the sun visor.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in light colli-
sions in which protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side airbags.
o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright
position.
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “Pas-
senger Airbag OFF” indicator is illu-
minated, because the airbag will not
deploy in the event of a moderate or
severe frontal crash.
o Never place objects over or near any
airbag module (front or side impact
airbags), because these objects can
injure passengers in a crash.
o Never place covers, blankets or af-
termarket seat warmers on the pas-
senger seat as these may interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components. Injuries
could result from inadvertent deploy-
ment or failure of the airbag to deploy
in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg
1-50) remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
airbag system as soon as possible.
