1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 52 B990A01CM-AAT Occupant Classification System Your vehicle is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger's seat. The Occupant Classification system is designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated front passenger and determine if the passenger's front air bag should be enabled (may inflate or not). The driver's front air bag is not affected or controlled by the Occupant Classification System. If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person that the system determines to be of adult size, and he/she sits properly (sitting upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on the floor), the passenger air bag off indicator will be turned off (The "OFF" will not illuminate) and the front passenger's air bag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes. You will find the passenger air bag off indicator on the center facia panel. When this indicator is ON, (The "OFF" will illuminate) the front passenger's air bag will not deploy. The side air bag will not deploy if the front passenger seat is unoccupied. The side air bag may deploy if the front seat is occupied by a small occupant. The following table summarizes the functioning of the system depending on the front passenger seat occupant.

When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture. *2) Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture, or objects in the lap of the child. *3) Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
