WARNING:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with the occu-
pant classification system. If there is a
malfunction of the occupant classifica-
tion system, the "PASSENGER 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
occupant 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 illu-
minated after approximately 6 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the occu-
pant classification system and the SRS
air bag system as soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that chil-
dren 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-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
o Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replace the air bag immediately after
deployment.
o The occupant classification system
may not work properly if water, cof-
fee or any other liquid including rain
gets on the seat. Keep the front seat
dry at all times.
o Do not place an electronic device
such as a laptop computer on the
front passenger seat. Its electronic
field may cause the OCS to switch to
the "on" condition and thus allow the
passenger airbag to deploy need-
lessly in a collision, increasing your
repair costs.

Side Impact Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side im-
pact airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.
