Safety features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front and out-
board rear seat. The purpose of the
air bag is to provide the vehicle's
driver and/or the front and outboard
rear passengers with additional pro-
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy during certain
side-impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed
and point of impact.
The side impact air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impact.
WARNING
The side impact air bag is sup-
plemental to the driver’s and
the passengers seat belt sys-
tems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.The air
bags deploy only in certain
side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
For best protection from the
side impact air bag system and
to avoid being injured by the
deploying side impact air bag,
both front and all rear (if
equipped) seat occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly
fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions.The passenger’ arms
and hands should be placed on
their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers.

WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
(Continued)
Use of seat covers could
reduce or prevent the effective-
ness of the system.
Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side
impact air bag.
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between
the door and the seat. Such
objects may become danger-
ous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
impact air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to the side
impact sensor when the igni-
tion switch is on.
If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
