2013 Hyundai Sonata Owner's Manual - Page 69

Safety features of your vehicle WARNING If you are considering modification of your vehicle due to a disability, please contact the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1800-633-5151. WARNING Always use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, everyone! Air bags inflate with considerable force and in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occupants in proper position to obtain maximum benefit from the air bag. Even with advanced air bags, improperly and unbelted occupants can be severely injured when the air bag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, air bags and occupant safety contained in this manual. To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the maximum safety benefit from your restraint system: • Never place a child in any child or booster seat in the front seat. • ABC - Always Buckle Children in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride. • Front and side air bags can injure occupants improperly positioned in the front seats. (Continued) ✽ NOTICE • Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the sun visor. • Advanced air bags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front air bags are not intended to deploy in collisions in which protection can be provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt. (Continued) • Move your seat as far back as practical from the front air bags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle. • You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags. Improperly positioned driver and passengers can be severely injured by inflating air bags. • Never lean against the door or center console - always sit in an upright position. • Do not allow a passenger to ride in the front seat when the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator is illuminated, because the air bag will not deploy in the event of a moderate or severe frontal crash.
