Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
•
Air bags can only be used once
– we recommend that the sys-
tem be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•
The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longi-
tudinal axis of the vehicle.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
•
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
•
A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an
air bag deployment in case of an
accident.

•
Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil-
dren to ride in the front passen-
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he or
she must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
•
For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
whether or not an air bag 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 unnec-
essarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.

•
Sitting improperly or out of posi-
tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
•
The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu-
pant is out of position because
of not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or
fatal injuries.
