Additional Safety Precautions
o
Never let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat.
All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
o
Passengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing.
A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the ve-
hicle.
o
Each seat belt is designed to restrain one
occupant.
If more than one person uses the
same seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
o
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts.
Devices claiming to improve occu-
pant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
o
Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects
on your lap or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an airbag inflates.
!
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
WARNING:
!
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
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 inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can give
you the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of personal
injury.
