FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. If you are
sitting too close to the airbag, it
can cause death or serious injury
when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, because
any such object could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental firing of the airbags or by
rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint system
must never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an
airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If older chil-
dren (teenagers and older) must
ride in the front seat, make sure
they are always properly belted
and that the seat is moved back as
far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should always
wear their seat belts whether or
not an airbag is also provided at
their seating position to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or
lean unnecessarily close to the
airbag while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro-
tection in a crash. If an occupant is
out of position because of not
wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant
causing serious or fatal injuries.
