C C urtain air bag (if equipped)
The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect
the heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or
OIB034022
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
WARNING
•
In order for side impact and cur-
tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu-
pants and both outboard rear
occupants should sit in an upright
OJK032066
position with the seat belts prop-
erly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
(Continued)
•
When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must
be seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi-
tion.
•
Do not allow the 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 passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
•
Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-

pants in an accident.
