2C_SideAirbagDeployment
Side airbags are located in each front
seat.
The side airbags are designed to deploy
during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact.
For the vehicle equipped with a rollover
sensor, the side and/or curtain airbags
and pretensioners on both sides of the
vehicle may deploy if a rollover or
possible rollover is detected.
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side airbag:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to
help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
• Do not use any accessory seat covers. It
may reduce or prevent the
effectiveness of the system.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes. In an accident it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury
especially when airbag is inflated.
• Do not place any objects over the
airbag location or between the airbag
and yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the airbag
inflates such as door, side door glass,
and front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between the
door and the seat. They may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side airbags.
• Do not cause an impact to the doors
when the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON or START position because the
side airbags can inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
