1 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 36 B990A04E-AAT ! OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM WARNING: The Occupant Classification system is designed to detect the presence of a properlyseated front passenger and determine if the passenger's front airbag and side impact airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The system is designed to prevent the front passenger's front and side impact airbags from inflating if the passenger seat is occupied by someone of light weight or the seat is occupied by a passenger who is not seated properly. The driver's front airbag and the driver's side impact airbag are not affected or controlled by the Occupant Classification system. o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer. o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illuminate. If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person that the system determines to be of adult size, and they are seated properly (sitting upright, centered on the seat cushion, with their seat belt on and legs comfortably extended, feet on the floor, and with the seat in an upright position), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will be turned off and the front passenger's airbag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes. NOTE: o The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, and then turns off in a few seconds. o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates, the passenger's front airbag will not inflate in frontal crashes. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator does not illuminate, the passenger's front airbag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes. o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates, the passenger's side impact airbag will not inflate in side impact crashes. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator does not illuminate, the passenger's side impact airbag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in side impact crashes. NOTE: Your vehicle's Supplemental Restraint System Control Module is equipped a recording device which may record the use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver and front passenger in certain collisions.
