•
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.
•
Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
•
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such as
the door, side door glass, front
and rear pillar.
•
Do not place any objects
between the door and the seat.
They may become dangerous
projectiles if the side air bag
inflates.
•
Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bags.

To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the following
precautions:
•
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•
Do not allow passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.

WARNING
(Continued)
•
Do not put any objects between
the side air bag label and seat
cushion. It could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
•
Do not cause impact to the
doors when the ignition switch
is in the ON position or this
may cause the side air bags to
inflate.
•
If the seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
