Hyundai 2009 Entourage Owner's Manual page 97

WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every time,
everyone! Air bags inflate with con-
siderable force and in the blink of
an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-
pants in proper position to obtain
maximum benefit from the air bag.
Even with advanced air bags,
improperly and unbelted occupants
can be severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, air bags
and occupant safety contained in
this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries and receive the maxi-
mum safety benefit from your
restraint system:
• Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat (see
child restraints 3-71).
• ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to
ride.
• Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.

(Continued)
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
• Never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the front or side air bags
• Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
• Do not allow a passenger to ride
in the front seat when the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated, because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of
a moderate or severe frontal
crash.
• Never place objects over or near
any air bag module (front or side
impact air bags), because these
objects can injure passengers in
a crash.
• Never place covers, blankets or
aftermarket seat warmers on the
passenger seat as these may
interfere with the occupant classi-
fication system.

Features of your vehicle
(Continued)
• Do not tamper or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components.
Injuries could result from inadver-
tent deployment or failure of the
air bag to deploy in a crash.
• If the SRS air bag warning light
(see page 3-119) remains illumi-
nated while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the air
bag system as soon as possible.
• Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai deal-
er replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
• The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and
when the impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitu-
dinal axis of the vehicle. The front
air bags will not deploy in side,
rear or rollover impacts.
Additionally, the air bags will only
deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.
