Additional safety precautions
•
Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area 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.
•
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving.
A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
•
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.
•
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts.
Devices claiming to improve
occupant 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.
•
Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them-
selves and the air bags.
Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap or in
your mouth can result in injuries if an
air bag inflates.
•
Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers.
All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers.
Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side impact air bag covers could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the air
bags.
•
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
•
Do not place items under the front
seats.
Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
•
Never hold an infant or child on your
lap.
The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.
(Continued)
• If the air bags inflate, they must
be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental inflation of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
• If components of the air bag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed.
An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and pro-
cedures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; have the car towed to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
