Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The occupant classification
system detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger's seat and will turn off the
front passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Classifi-
cation System" later in this section.
!
Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track position
sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at
a different level than should be pro-
vided.
Do not place any objects underneath the
front seats which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere with the
occupant classification system.
Do not place any objects that may cause
magnetic fields near the front seat. These
may cause a malfunction of the seat
track position sensor.

WARNING:
WARNING:
o
o
As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to,
the driver's and the passenger's three
point seat belt systems and is not a
substitute for them. Therefore, your seat
belts must be worn at all times. The
airbags deploy only in certain frontal
impact conditions severe enough to
cause significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
Sitting too close to a front airbag can
result in serious or fatal injury if the front
airbags inflate. Always sit as far back
from airbags as possible.
Ignoring the SRS indicator light can re-
sultinseriousorfatalinjuryiftheairbags,
occupant classification system or pre-
tensioners do not work properly. Have
your car checked by a dealer as soon as
possible if the SRS warning light alerts
you to a potential problem.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact angle
is less than 30° from the forward longi-
tudinal axis of the vehicle. The front
airbags will not deploy in side, rear or
rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once. Seat belts
must be worn at all times.

CAUTION:
If the seat track position sensor is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning
o
o
light
AIR on the instrument panel will
BAG
illuminate even if there is no malfunction of
the SRS airbag system, because the SRS
airbag warning light is connected with the
seat track position sensor. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position,
if it remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the seat
track position sensor and the advanced
SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about the
o
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide
enhanced occupant protection in fron-
tal crashes. Front airbags are not in-
tended to deploy in light collisions in
which protection can be provided by the
pre-tensioner seat belt.
If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please

tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
