Where Are The Airbags - Hyundai IONIQ 6 2023 Owner's Manual

WARNING
AIRBAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and Child
Restraint Systems - every trip, every time,
everyone! Even with airbags, you can be
seriously injured or killed in a collision if
you are improperly belted or not wearing
your seat belt when the airbag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint
System or booster seat in the front
passenger seat, unless the airbag is
deactivated.
An inflating airbag could forcefully strike
the infant or child causing serious or fatal
injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age
13 in the back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride. If a child age 13
or older 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.
All occupants should sit upright with the
seatback in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor until the vehicle is parked and
the vehicle is turned off. If an occupant is
out of position during an accident, the
rapidly deploying airbag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing serious or
fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbags
or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible
from front airbags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. The U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow
at least 10 in. (25 cm) between the center
of the steering wheel and the chest.

Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and
lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and
passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of airbags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The airbags are labeled with the letters
"AIRBAG" embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered by
the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine if
the driver and front passenger's seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
