FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o The driver should sit back as far
as possible while still maintain-
ing control of the vehicle. If you
are sitting too close to the airbag,
it can cause death or serious
injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box,
because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must
be replaced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com-
ponents of the SRS system. Do-
ing so could result in injury, due
to accidental firing of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat position. A child restraint
system must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or child
could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case
of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If older
children (teenagers and older)
must ride in the front seat, make
sure they are always properly
belted and that the seat is moved
back as far as possible.
o 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 airbag is also
provided at their seating posi-
tion to minimize the risk of se-
vere injury or death in the event
of a crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag 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
airbag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fa-
tal injuries.
