FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1 51 B990A03TG-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 airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The driver's front airbag is not affected or controlled by the Occupant Classification system. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly (sitting upright with the seat in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended, feet on the floor, and wearing the safety belt properly) for the most effective protection by the air bag and the safety belt. o The OCS may not function properly if the passenger takes actions which can defeat the detection system. These include: (1) Failing to sit in an upright position. (2) Leaning against the door or center console. (3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat. (4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations which reduce the passenger weight on the front seat. (5) Improperly wearing the safety belt. (6) Reclining the seatback. B990A01TG-A Main components of occupant classification system o A detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion. o Electronic system to determine whether passenger airbag systems (both front and side) should be activated or deactivated. o A warning light located on the instrument panel which illuminates the words "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicating the front passenger airbag system is deactivated. o The instrument panel airbag warning light is interconnected with the occupant classification system. If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person that the system determines to be of adult size sitting 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 "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator will be turned off and the front passenger's airbag will be able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes. You will find the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator on the center facia panel. The following table summarizes the functioning of the system depending on the front passenger seat occupant.
