1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 38 ! WARNING: ! WARNING: ! WARNING: o Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat track position sensor and cause the airbag to deploy at a different level than should be provided. o Do not place any objects underneath the front seats as they could damage the seat track position sensor or interfere with the occupant classification system. o Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the front seat. These may cause a malfunction of the seat track position sensor. NOTE: o Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box. o Advanced airbags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front airbags are not intended to deploy in collisions in which sufficient protection can be provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt. o If you are considering modification of your vehicle due to a disability, please contact the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-633-5151. o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all times. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants. o Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury if the front airbags inflate. Always sit as far back from airbags as possible. o Ignoring the SRS airbag warning light can result in serious or fatal injury if the airbags, occupant classification system or pre-tensioners do not work properly. Have your car checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS airbag warning light alerts you to a potential problem. o The SRS is designed to deploy the front airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The front airbags will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Seat belts must be worn at all times. o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, front airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deployment threshold.
