Seats & safety system
• Make sure the seat has been
completely dried before driving the
vehicle. If large quantity of liquid has
been spilled on the front passenger
seat, the airbag warning light may
illuminate or malfunction.
OHI038162
• Do not place sharp objects on the front
passenger seat. These may damage the
occupant detection system, if they
puncture the seat cushion.
• Do not place any items under the front
passenger seat.
• When changing or replacing the seat or
seat cover, use original items only. The
OCS has been developed based on
using original HYUNDAI car seats only.
Altering or changing the authentic parts
may result in system malfunction and
increase risk of injury in a collision. Any
of the above may interfere with the
proper operation of the OCS sensor
thereby increasing the risk of an injury
in an accident.

Proper seated position for OCS

If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is on when an adult is seated in
the front passenger seat, move the
ignition switch to the OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit 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).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This allows the
system to detect the person and to enable
the passenger airbag. If the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is still on, ask the
passenger to move to the rear seat.
WARNING
Never allow an adult passenger to ride in
the front passenger seat when the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
illuminated. During a collision, the airbag
does not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. If the indicator is illuminated
while an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, follow the steps in the
previous paragraph to have the
passenger reposition themselves in the
seat.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator remains illuminated after the
passenger sits in the proper seating
position, have the passenger sit in the
rear seat of the vehicle instead.
