Hyundai Azera 2017 Owner's Manual page 66

Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front and/or rear seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to pro-
vide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front and outboard rear passenger
with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact.
The side air bags 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 air bag, take the following
precautions:
•
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
OIG036036 •
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.
•
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.
•
Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
