1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 42 B990B04Y-AAT ! Side Impact Airbag WARNING: o A smaller-stature adult who is not seated correctly (for example: seat excessively reclined, leaning on the center console, hips shifted forward in the seat, or feet placed on the dashboard) can cause a condition where the advanced frontal air bag system senses less weight than if the occupant were seated properly (sitting upright with the seat back in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended 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. Side airbag sensor B990B02Y B990B01O Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The side impact airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. ! WARNING: o The side impact airbag is supplemental to the driver's and the passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The side airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
