Safety features of your vehicle
If the  PASS AIR BAG  "OFF" indi-
cator   is  illuminated    when   the
front  passenger's  seat  is  occu-
pied by an  adult and  he/she  sits
properly (sitting  upright with  the
seatback  in an  upright  position,
centered   on  the   seat   cushion
with their seat  belt on, legs com-
fortably  extended  and  their  feet
on the floor), have that person sit
in the rear seat.
Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat.  Don't place any-
thing on  or attach anything such
as a blanket or  seat heater to the
front  passenger   seat.  This  can
adversely   affect   the   occupant
classification system.

•  Accident    statistics   show   that
children   are   safer   if  they   are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to  the   front  seat.   It  is   recom-
mended  that  child  restraints  be
secured in  a rear  seat, including
an  infant  riding  in a  rear-facing
infant seat, a child riding in a  for-
ward-facing   child  seat   and   an
older  child   riding  in  a  booster
seat.
•  Do not place an electronic device
such as a laptop computer on the
front  passenger  seat.    Its  elec-
tronic field may cause the OCS to
switch to  the "on" condition  and
thus allow the  passenger air bag
to  deploy  needlessly  in  a  colli-
sion,

•  A   smaller-stature   adult   in  the
front passenger’  seat who is  not
seated   correctly   (for  example:
seat excessively reclined, leaning
on the door or center  console, or
hips shifted  forward  in the  seat)
can cause  a condition where  the
occupant   classification   system
senses  less  weight   than  if  the
occupant  were   seated  properly
(sitting upright with  the seatback
in  an  upright  position, centered
on  the  seat   cushion  with  their
seat  belt   on,   legs  comfortably
extended  and  their   feet  on  the
floor).
•  Air bags can only be used once –
have   an   authorized    HYUNDAI
dealer replace  the air  bag imme-
diately after deployment.
The  occupant classification  sys-
tem  may   not   work  properly   if
water, coffee  or  any other  liquid
including  rain  gets on  the  seat.
Keep  the   front  seat   dry  at   all
times.
Do not sit  on sharp objects such
as   tools   when  occupying    the
front  passenger   seat.  This  can
adversely   affect   the   occupant
classification system.
Do  not use  accessory  seat cov-
ers on the front seats.

This  condition  can  result  in  an

fied as a child and illumination of
