Hyundai SX2 Owner's Manual page 85

Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Airbag System for the driver's and front
passenger's seats.
The front airbags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For these
airbags to provide protection, seat belts must be properly worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a seat belt.
Airbags are built into the vehicle as a supplementary system. They are not intended as a
replacement for wearing 3-point seat belts. Also, airbags are not designed to deploy in
every collision. In some accidents, the seat belts are the only restraint protecting you.
WARNING
AIRBAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always use seat belts 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.
• Make sure that all occupants sit upright with the seatback in an upright position,
centreed 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.
• Never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbags or lean against the door or centre
console.
• Move your seat as far back as possible from front airbags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
