1 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 40 ! WARNING: ! WARNING: ! WARNING: o Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupation classification system, never install a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A deploying airbag can forcefully strike a child resulting in serious injuries or death. Any child under 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat. Children too large for child restraints should use the available lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type of crash, children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat. o The Occupant Classification system can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated when the front passenger's seat is occupied by an adult 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 Occupant Classification system may not be working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer. o If luggage or other objects are placed on the front passenger's seat or if the temperature of the seat changes, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may blink. These conditions do not indicate a problem. o If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator blinks continuously when the front passenger's seat is occupied by an adult 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) have that person sit in the rear seat. If this occurs, have the Occupant Classification system checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. o If you change the weight on the seat, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be turned on or off for a few seconds, temporarily disabling or enabling the passenger airbags. o Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. Don't place anything on or attach anything to the front passenger seat. This can adversely affect the Occupant Classification system. o Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools when occupying the front passenger seat. This can adversely affect the Occupant Classification system. o Do not use accessory seat covers on the front seats.
