Information
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
generally illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position. But, if the ignition switch
is in the ON or START position within 3
minutes after the engine is turned OFF,
the indicator does not illuminate. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the OCS
classifies the front passenger after
several seconds.
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger's seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a Child
Restraint System in the front passenger's
seat. An inflating airbag may forcefully
strike a child or child restraint resulting in
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
Never use a rearward facing Child
Restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it. It may result
in death or serious injury to the CHILD.
Children should always ride in the rear
seats.
Why didn't my airbag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag would not deploy
including rear impacts and second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed impacts.
Damage to the vehicle indicates a
collision energy absorption, and is not an
indicator of whether or not an airbag
should have inflated.
Airbag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an airbag deploying
unexpectedly and causing serious injury
or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where airbags or
sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on or
around the airbag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
changed, the airbags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy.
• Do not install bumper guards with non
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts. It may adversely affect the
collision and airbag deployment
performance.
• Move the ignition switch to the OFF or
ACC position and wait for 3 minutes
before the vehicle is towed to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
• Have all airbag repairs are conducted
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
