Safety Precautions - Hyundai stargazer 2022 Owner's Manual

Safety precautions

Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers, along with seat
belts and air bags when in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces fric-
tion between the seat and the passen-
ger. The passenger's hips may slide un-
der the lap portion of the seat belt
during an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could re-
sult because the seat belt cannot oper-
ate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating air bag. Sit-
ting too close to an air bag greatly in-
creases the risk of injury in the event the
air bag inflates. Move your seat as far
back as possible from front air bags, while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating air bag, take the
following precautions:
• Adjust the driver's seat as far to the
rear as possible while maintaining
the ability to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions to minimize the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.
• NEVER place anything or anyone be-
tween you and the air bag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before start-
ing any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly re-
strained. Infants and small children must
be restrained in appropriate Child Re-
straint Systems. Children who have out-
grown a booster seat and adults must be
restrained using the seat belts.
