WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal
airbag system senses less weight
than if the occupant were seated
properly (sitting upright with the
seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably ex-
tended and their feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator.
B990A05O
- NEVER place feet on the dash-
board.
WARNING:
o Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the “PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated, because the airbag will
not deploy in the event of a crash. If
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator remains illuminated after
the passenger repositions them-
selves properly and the car is re-
started, Hyundai recommends that
passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front
airbag will not deploy.
o The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will not change according
to the occupants posture after the
vehicle has been running for 30 sec-
onds. Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid seri-
ous injury from a deploying airbag.
