Driver’s front air bag (1)  
The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-  
ments while the ignition switch is ON to  
determine if a frontal or near-frontal  
impact is severe enough to require air  
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat  
belt deployment.  
SRS components and functions  
The SRS consists of the following com-  
ponents:  
1. Driver's front air bag module  
2. Passenger's front air bag module*  
3. Side air bag modules*  
4. Curtain air bag modules*  
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies*  
6. Air bag warning light  
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)  
8. Front impact sensors  
9. Side impact sensors*  
10. Passenger’s front air bag OFF indi-  
cator (front passenger's seat only)*  
11. Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF  
switch*  
The SRS air bag warning light on the  
instrument panel will illuminate for about  
6 seconds after the ignition switch is  
turned to the ON position, after which the  
air bag warning light should go out.  
If any of the following conditions occurs,  
this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.  
Have an authorised HYUNDAI dealer  
inspect the air bag system as soon as  
possible.  
• The light does not turn on briefly when  
you turn the ignition ON.  
• The light stays on after illuminating for  
approximately 6 seconds.  
B240B01L-R  
The air bag modules are located both in  
the centre of the steering wheel and in  
the front passenger's panel above the  
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a  
sufficiently severe impact to the front of  
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy  
the front air bags.  
*: if equipped  
• The light comes on while the vehicle is  
in motion.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded  
directly into the pad covers will separate  
under pressure from the expansion of the  
air bags. Further opening of the covers  
then allows full inflation of the air bags.  
A fully inflated air bag, in combination  
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the  
driver's or the passenger's forward  
motion, reducing the risk of head and  
chest injury.  
WARNING  
• Do not install or place any acces-  
sories (drink holder, cassette  
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front  
passenger's panel above the  
glove box in a vehicle with a pas-  
senger's air bag. Such objects  
may become dangerous projec-  
tiles and cause injury if the pas-  
senger's air bag inflates.  
After complete inflation, the air bag  
immediately starts deflating, enabling the  
driver to maintain forward visibility and  
the ability to steer or operate other con-  
trols.  
• When installing a container of liq-  
uid air freshener inside the vehi-  
cle, do not place it near the  
instrument cluster nor on the  
instrument panel surface.  
It may become dangerous projec-  
tiles and cause injury if the pas-  
senger's air bag inflates.

WARNING  
• The SRS can function only when  
the ignition key is in the "ON"  
position. If the SRS air bag warn-  
ing light does not illuminate, or  
continuously remains on after  
illuminating for about 6 seconds  
when the ignition key is turned to  
the ON position, or after the  
engine is started, comes on while  
driving, the SRS is not working  
properly. If this occurs, have your  
vehicle immediately inspected by  
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Before you replace a fuse or dis-  
connect a battery terminal, turn  
the ignition switch to the LOCK  
position and remove the ignition  
key. Never remove or replace the  
air bag related fuse(s) when the  
ignition switch is in the ON posi-  
tion. Failure to heed this warning  
will cause the SRS air bag warn-  
ing light to illuminate.  
• If an air bag deploys, there may  
be a loud noise followed by a fine  
dust released in the vehicle.  
These conditions are normal and  
are not hazardous - the air bags  
are packed in this fine powder.  
The dust generated during air  
bag deployment may cause skin  
or eye irritation as well as aggra-  
vate asthma for some persons.  
Always wash all exposed skin  
areas thoroughly with lukewarm  
water and a mild soap after an  
accident in which the air bags  
were deployed.

(Continued)  
WARNING  
• 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 drivers and passen-  
gers can be severely injured by  
inflating air bags.  
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 air bags, improp-  
erly and unbelted occupants can be  
severely injured when the air bag  
inflates. Always follow the precau-  
tions about seat belts, air bags and  
occupant safety contained in this  
manual.  
• Never lean against the door or  
centre console – always sit in an  
upright position.  
OFD037017R  
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the  
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-  
ger with additional protection than that  
offered by the seat belt system alone in  
case of a frontal impact of sufficient  
severity.  
(Continued)  
To reduce the chance of serious or  
fatal injuries and receive the maxi-  
mum 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.

Safety system of your vehicle  
Rear impact  
(Continued)  
(Continued)  
• No objects should be placed over  
or near the air bag modules on  
the steering wheel, instrument  
panel, and the front passenger's  
panel above the glove box,  
because any such object could  
cause harm if the vehicle is in a  
crash severe enough to cause  
the air bags to deploy.  
• Do not tamper with or disconnect  
SRS wiring or other components  
of the SRS system. Doing so  
could result in injury, due to acci-  
dental deployment of the air bags  
or by rendering the SRS inopera-  
tive.  
• Air bags can only be used once –  
have an authorised HYUNDAI  
dealer replace the air bag imme-  
diately after deployment.  
• The SRS is designed to deploy  
the airbags only when the impact  
is sufficiently severe and when  
the impact is in the front or  
frontal angle of the vehicle, and  
will not deploy in side, rear or  
rollover impacts. Additionally, the  
airbags will only deploy once.  
Thus, seat belts must be worn at  
all times.  
• Front air bags are not intended to  
deploy in side-impact, rear-  
impact or rollover crashes. In  
addition, front air bags will not  
deploy in frontal crashes below  
the deployment threshold.

• If the SRS air bag warning light  
remains illuminated while the  
vehicle is being driven, have an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer  
inspect the air bag system as  
soon as possible.

(Continued)  
• A child restraint system must  
never be placed in the front seat.  
The infant or child could be  
severely injured or killed by an air  
bag deployment in case of an  
accident.  
• Children age 12 and under must  
always be properly restrained in  
the rear seat. Never allow chil-  
dren to ride in the front passen-  
ger seat. If a child over 12 must  
be seated in the front seat, he or  
she must be properly belted and  
the seat should be moved as far  
back as possible.  
• For maximum safety protection in  
all types of crashes, all occu-  
pants including the driver should  
always wear their seat belts  
whether or not an air bag is also  
provided at their seating position  
to minimise the risk of severe  
injury or death in the event of a  
crash. Do not sit or lean unneces-  
sarily close to the air bag while  
the vehicle is in motion.  
• Sitting improperly or out of posi-  
tion can result in serious or fatal  
injury in a crash. All occupants  
should sit upright with the seat  
back in an upright position, cen-  
tred on the seat cushion with  
their seat belt on, legs comfort-  
ably extended and their feet on  
the floor until the vehicle is  
parked and the ignition key is  
removed.  
• The SRS air bag system must  
deploy very rapidly to provide  
protection in a crash. If an occu-  
pant is out of position because of  
not wearing a seat belt, the air  
bag may forcefully contact the  
occupant causing serious or fatal  
injuries.

Side air bag (if equipped)  
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air  
bag in each front seat. The purpose of  
the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driv-  
er and/or the front passenger with addi-  
tional protection than that offered by the  
seat belt alone.  
(Continued)  
3 40  
Safety system of your vehicle  
The side air bags are designed to deploy  
only during certain side-impact collisions,  
depending on the crash severity, angle,  
speed and point of impact. The side air  
bags are not designed to deploy in all  
side impact situations.  
(Continued)  
• Do not install any accessories on  
the side or near the side air bag.  
WARNING  
• The side air bag is supplemental  
to the driver's and the passen-  
ger's seat belt systems and is not  
a substitute for them. Therefore  
your seat belts must be worn at  
all times while the vehicle is in  
motion. The air bags deploy only  
in certain side impact conditions  
severe enough to cause signifi-  
cant injury to the vehicle occu-  
pants.  
• Do not place any objects over the  
air bag or between the air bag  
and yourself.  
• Do not place any objects (an  
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the  
front door and the front seat.  
Such objects may become dan-  
gerous projectiles and cause  
injury if the supplemental side air  
bag inflates.  
• To prevent unexpected deploy-  
ment of the side air bag that may  
result in personal injury, avoid  
impact to the side impact sensor  
when the ignition key is on.  
• If seat or seat cover is damaged,  
have the vehicle checked and  
repaired by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer. Inform that your  
vehicle is equipped with side air  
bags.  
Important safety notes on the side air  
bag system  
Following is a number of safety points  
concerning this system which should  
always be observed to ensure risk of  
injury is reduced in an accident.  
• For best protection from the side  
air bag system and to avoid being  
injured by the deploying side air  
bag, both front seat occupants  
should sit in an upright position  
with the seat belt properly fas-  
tened. The driver's hands should  
be placed on the steering wheel  
at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.  
The passenger's arms and hands  
should be placed on their laps.  
• Do not use any accessory seat  
covers.  
• Use of seat covers could reduce  
or prevent the effectiveness of  
the system.

Safety system of your vehicle  
The curtain air bags are designed to  
deploy only during certain side impact  
collisions, depending on the crash sever-  
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain  
air bags are not designed to deploy in all  
side impact situations, collisions from the  
front or rear of the vehicle or in most  
rollover situations.  
(Continued)  
• Ensure the opening for the  
Curtain Airbag System remains  
unobstructed at all times, so that  
the airbags can inflate properly if  
needed.  
• The built in coat hooks should  
only be used for light weight  
clothing, ensure that pockets are  
free of any heavy or sharp  
objects. When using coat hooks,  
do not hang clothes on coat  
hangers.  
• The space between the occupant  
and the curtain airbag must never  
be occupied by children, passen-  
gers or pets. Occupants should  
never lean out or have any parts  
of their body protruding from the  
window whilst the engine is run-  
ning.  
• Do not move the sun visor out to  
cover the side window if there is  
an item attached to it such as  
garage door remote control,  
pens, air fresheners or the like.  
These objects may cause injury if  
the Curtain Airbag is deployed.  
Important safety notes for curtain  
airbag systems  
Following is a number of safety points  
concerning this system which should  
always be observed to ensure risk of  
injury is reduced in an accident.  
OHD036125  
WARNING  
• Before installing child restraints,  
always refer to "Child Restraint  
System" to ensure correct instal-  
lation and occupant protection is  
maximised.  
OUN026090

Curtain air bag (if equipped)  
• Make sure that the occupant  
does not have any body parts  
(head, arms & legs) protruding  
outside the restraining system. If  
an inflating airbag was to strike  
an infant child on the head, it may  
cause serious injury.  
Curtain air bags are located along both  
sides of the roof rails above the front and  
rear doors.  
They are designed to help protect the  
heads of the front seat occupants and  
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-  
tain side impact collisions.

WARNING  
• Where sun blinds are fitted to the  
rear doors, these must not  
obstruct or impair the airbag in  
any way.  
• Do not install any accessories or  
children’s toys in the Curtain  
Airbag deployment zones, as this  
may impair the operation of the  
system or throw parts of them  
into the vehicle cabin causing  
injury to occupants if the system  
is deployed.  
• To maintain the integrity of the  
Curtain Airbag system, any work,  
removal or installation of the  
airbag and associated compo-  
nents (such as roof lining and  
side trims) should always be per-  
formed by a qualified vehicle  
repairer.  
• Do not allow the passengers to  
lean their heads or bodies onto  
doors, put their arms on the  
doors, stretch their arms out of  
the window, or place objects  
between the doors and passen-  
gers when they are seated on  
seats equipped with side and/or  
curtain air bags.  
• Never try to open or repair any  
components of the side curtain  
air bag system. This should only  
be done by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• In order for side and curtain air  
bags to provide its best protec-  
tion, both front seat occupants  
and both outboard rear occu-  
pants should sit in an upright  
position with the seat belts prop-  
erly fastened. Importantly, chil-  
dren should sit in a proper child  
restraint system in the rear seat.  
• When children are seated in the  
rear outboard seats, they must be  
seated in the proper child  
restraint system. Make sure to  
put the child restraint system as  
far away from the door side as  
possible, and secure the child  
restraint system in a locked posi-  
tion.  
Failure to follow the above men-  
tioned instructions can result in  
injury or death to the vehicle occu-  
pants in an accident.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a  
collision? (Inflation and non-infla-  
tion conditions of the air bag)  
There are many types of accidents in  
which the air bag would not be expect-  
ed to provide additional protection.  
These include rear impacts, second or  
third collisions in multiple impact  
accidents, as well as low speed  
impacts. In other words, just because  
your vehicle is damaged and even if it  
is totally unusable, don’t be surprised  
that the air bags did not inflate.

WARNING  
• Problems may arise if the sensor  
installation angles are changed  
due to the deformation of the  
front bumper, body or B pillar  
where side collision sensors are  
installed. Have the vehicle  
checked and repaired by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
Your vehicle has been designed  
to absorb impact and deploy the  
air bag(s) in certain collisions.  
Installing aftermarket bumper  
guards or replacing a bumper  
with non-genuine parts may  
adversely affect your vehicles  
collision and air bag deployment  
performance.  
• Do not hit or allow any objects to  
impact the locations where air bag  
or sensors are installed.  
This may cause unexpected air  
bag deployment, which could  
result in serious personal injury  
or death.  
• If the installation location or  
angle of the sensors is altered in  
any way, the air bags may deploy  
when they should not or they may  
not deploy when they should,  
causing severe injury or death.  
Therefore, do not try to perform  
maintenance on or around the air  
bag sensors. Have the vehicle  
checked and repaired by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions  
Front air bag  
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a  
frontal collision depending on the intensi-  
ty, speed or angles of impact of the front  
collision.  
(Continued)  
3 45  
Safety system of your vehicle  
Although the front air bags (driver’s and  
front passenger’s air bags) are designed  
to inflate only in frontal collisions, they  
also may inflate in other types of colli-  
sions if the front impact sensors detect a  
sufficient impact. Side air bags (side  
and/or curtain air bags) are designed to  
inflate only in side impact collisions, but  
they may inflate in other collisions if the  
side impact sensors detect a sufficient  
impact.  
1JBA3516M  
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by  
bumps or objects on unimproved roads  
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive  
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-  
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to  
prevent unintended air bag deployment.  
OED036099M  
C040802AUN  
Air bag non-inflation conditions  
• In certain low-speed collisions the air  
bags may not deploy. The air bags are  
designed not to deploy in such cases  
because they may not provide benefits  
beyond the protection of the seat belts  
in such collisions.  
OUN026090  
Side air bags (if equipped)  
Side and/or curtain air bags are  
designed to inflate when an impact is  
detected by side collision sensors  
depending on the strength, speed or  
angles of impact resulting from a side  
impact collision or rollover.

Safety system of your vehicle  
OED036100M  
1JBA3516M  
1JBA3521M  
• Frontal air bags are not designed to  
inflate in rear collisions, because occu-  
pants are moved backward by the  
force of the impact. In this case, inflat-  
ed air bags would not be able to pro-  
vide any additional benefit.  
• Front air bags may not inflate in side  
impact collisions, because occupants  
move to the direction of the collision,  
and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag  
deployment would not provide addi-  
tional occupant protection.  
• In a slant or angled collision, the force  
of impact may direct the occupants in a  
direction where the air bags would not  
be able to provide any additional bene-  
fit, and thus the sensors may not  
deploy any air bags.  
However, side or curtain air bags may  
inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-  
cle speed and angles of impact.  
3 47  
Safety system of your vehicle  
OED036103M  
1JBA3522  
OED036105  
• Just before impact, drivers often brake  
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the  
front portion of the vehicle causing it to  
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher  
ground clearance. Air bags may not  
inflate in this "under-ride" situation  
because deceleration forces that are  
detected by sensors may be signifi-  
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”  
collisions.  
• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-  
dents because air bag deployment  
would not provide protection to the  
occupants.  
However, side and/or curtain air bags  
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled  
over by a side impact collision, if the  
vehicle is equipped with side air bags  
and curtain air bags.  
• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle  
collides with objects such as utility  
poles or trees, where the point of  
impact is concentrated to one area and  
the full force of the impact is not deliv-  
ered to the sensors.  
3 48  
Safety system of your vehicle  
C040900AUN  
It is virtually impossible for you to see  
the air bags inflate during an accident.  
It is much more likely that you will sim-  
ply see the deflated air bags hanging  
out of their storage compartments after  
the collision.  
• In order to help provide protection in a  
severe collision, the air bags must  
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag  
inflation is a consequence of the  
extremely short time in which a collision  
occurs and the need to get the air bag  
between the occupant and the vehicle  
structures before the occupant impacts  
those structures. This speed of inflation  
reduces the risk of serious or life-  
threatening injuries in a severe collision  
and is thus a necessary part of air bag  
design.  
However, air bag inflation can also  
cause injuries which normally can  
include facial abrasions, bruises and  
broken bones, and sometimes more  
severe injuries because the inflation  
speed also causes the air bags to  
expand with a great deal of force.  
• There are even circumstances  
under which contact with the steer-  
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal  
injuries, especially if the occupant  
is positioned excessively close to  
the steering wheel.  
How does the air bag system  
operate  
• Air bags are activated (able to inflate if  
necessary) only when the ignition  
switch is turned to the ON or START  
position.  
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of  
serious frontal or side collision (if  
equipped with side air bag or curtain  
air bag) in order to help protect the  
occupants from serious physical injury.  
• There is no single speed at which the  
air bags will inflate.  
Generally, air bags are designed to  
inflate by the severity of a collision and  
its direction. These two factors deter-  
mine whether the sensors send out an  
electronic deployment/inflation signal.  
• Air bag deployment depends on a  
number of factors including vehicle  
speed, angles of impact and the densi-  
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or  
objects which your vehicle hits in the  
collision. Though, factors are not limit-  
ed to those mentioned above.  
WARNING  
• To avoid severe personal injury  
or death caused by deploying air  
bags in a collision, the driver  
should sit as far back from the  
steering wheel air bag as possi-  
ble (at least 250 mm (10 inches)  
away). The front passenger  
should always move their seat as  
far back as possible and sit back  
in their seat.  
• Air bag inflates instantly in an  
event of collision, passengers  
may be injured by the air bag  
expansion force if they are not in  
proper position.  
• Air bag inflation may cause  
injuries which normally include  
facial or bodily abrasions,  
injuries from broken glasses or  
burns by the air bag inflation  
gasses.  
• The front air bags will completely  
inflate and deflate in an instant.

C040902AUN  
Noise and smoke  
WARNING  
When the air bags inflate, they make a  
loud noise and they leave smoke and  
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.  
This is normal and is a result of the igni-  
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air  
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-  
comfort in breathing due to the contact of  
your chest to both the seat belt and the  
air bag, as well as from breathing the  
smoke and powder. We strongly urge  
you to open your doors and/or win-  
dows as soon as possible after impact  
in order to reduce discomfort and pre-  
vent prolonged exposure to the  
smoke and powder.  
Though smoke and powder are non-  
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin  
(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the  
case, wash and rinse with the cold water  
immediately and consult the doctor if the  
symptom persists.  
When the air bags deploy, the air  
bag related parts in steering wheel  
and/or instrument panel and/or in  
both sides of the roof rails above  
the front and rear doors are very  
hot. To prevent injury, do not touch  
the air bag storage areas internal  
components immediately after an  
air bag has inflated.  
1JBH3051  
C040903AUN  
Installing a child restraint on a front  
passenger’s seat is forbidden  
Never place a rear-facing child restraint  
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air  
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-  
ing child restraint, causing serious or  
fatal injury.  
In addition, do not place front-facing child  
restraint in the front passenger’s seat  
either. If the front passenger air bag

• When children are seated in the  
rear outboard seats in which side  
air bags are equipped, be sure to  
put the child restraint system as  
far away from the door side as  
possible, and secure the child  
restraint system to be locked in  
position.  
Inflation of side or curtain air bag  
could cause serious injury or  
death due to the expansion  
impact.

Air bag warning light  
WARNING  
The purpose of air bag warning light in  
your instrument panel is to alert you of a  
potential problem with your air bag -  
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).  
When the ignition switch is turned ON,  
the indicator light should illuminate for  
approximately 6 seconds, then go off.  
Have the system checked if:  
• The light does not turn on briefly when  
you turn the ignition ON.  
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint on  
a seat protected by an air bag in  
front of it!  
• Never put child restraint in the  
front passenger’s seat. If the front  
passenger air bag inflates, it  
would cause serious or fatal  
injuries.  
(Continued)  
• The light stays on after illuminating for  
approximately 6 seconds.  
• The light comes on while the vehicle is  
in motion.

SRS Care  
WARNING  
• If the air bags inflate, they must  
be replaced by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Do not tamper with or disconnect  
SRS wiring, or other components  
of the SRS system. Doing so  
could result in injury, due to acci-  
dental inflation of the air bags or  
by rendering the SRS inopera-  
tive.  
• Modification to SRS components  
or wiring, including the addition  
of any kind of badges to the pad  
covers or modifications to the  
body structure, can adversely  
affect SRS performance and lead  
to possible injury.  
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free  
and so there are no parts you can safely  
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag  
warning light does not illuminate, or con-  
tinuously remains on, have your vehicle  
immediately inspected by an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• For cleaning the air bag pad cov-  
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or  
one which has been moistened  
with plain water. Solvents or  
cleaners could adversely affect  
the air bag covers and proper  
deployment of the system.  
• No objects should be placed over  
or near the air bag modules on  
the steering wheel, instrument  
panel, and the front passenger's  
panel above the glove box,  
because any such object could  
cause harm if the vehicle is in a  
crash severe enough to cause  
the air bags to inflate.  
Any work on the SRS system, such as  
removing, installing, repairing, or any  
work on the steering wheel must be per-  
formed by an authorised HYUNDAI deal-  
er. Improper handling of the SRS system  
may result in serious personal injury.  
• If components of the air bag sys-  
tem must be discarded, or if the  
vehicle must be scrapped, certain  
safety precautions must be  
observed.  
An  
authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer knows these  
precautions and can give you the  
necessary information. Failure to  
follow these precautions and pro-  
cedures could increase the risk  
of personal injury.  
• If your car was flooded and has  
soaked carpeting or water on  
flooring, you shouldn't try to start  
the engine; have the car towed to  
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Keep occupants away from the air  
bag covers. All occupants should sit  
upright, fully back in their seats with  
their seat belts on and their feet on the  
floor. If occupants are too close to the  
air bag covers, they could be injured if  
the air bags inflate.  
Do not attach or place objects on or  
near the air bag covers. Any object  
attached to or placed on the front or  
side air bag covers could interfere with  
the proper operation of the air bags.  
Do not modify the front seats.  
Modification of the front seats could  
interfere with the operation of the sup-  
plemental restraint system sensing  
components or side air bags.  
Do not place items under the front  
seats. Placing items under the front  
seats could interfere with the operation  
of the supplemental restraint system  
sensing components and wiring har-  
nesses.  
Additional safety precautions  
WARNING  
• Sitting improperly or out of posi-  
tion can cause occupants to be  
shifted too close to a deploying  
air bag, strike the interior struc-  
ture or be thrown from the vehicle  
resulting in serious injury or  
death.  
Never let passengers ride in the  
cargo area or on top of a folded-  
down back seat. All occupants should  
sit upright, fully back in their seats with  
their seat belts on and their feet on the  
floor.  
Passengers should not move out of  
or change seats while the vehicle is  
moving. A passenger who is not wear-  
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-  
gency stop can be thrown against the  
inside of the vehicle, against other  
occupants, or out of the vehicle.  
Each seat belt is designed to  
restrain one occupant. If more than  
one person uses the same seat belt,  
they could be seriously injured or killed  
in a collision.  
Do not use any accessories on seat  
belts. Devices claiming to improve  
occupant comfort or reposition the seat  
belt can reduce the protection provided  
by the seat belt and increase the  
chance of serious injury in a crash.  
• Always sit upright with the seat-  
back in an upright position, cen-  
tred on the seat cushion with  
your seat belt on, legs comfort-  
ably extended and your feet on  
the floor.

Adding equipment to or modify-  
ing your air bag-equipped vehicle  
If you modify your vehicle by changing  
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,  
front end or side sheet metal or ride  
height, this may affect the operation of  
your vehicle's air bag system.  
Never hold an infant or child on your  
lap. The infant or child could be seri-  
ously injured or killed in the event of a  
crash. All infants and children should  
be properly restrained in appropriate  
child safety seats or seat belts in the  
rear seat.  
Passengers should not place hard  
or sharp objects between them-  
selves and the air bags. Carrying  
hard or sharp objects on your lap or in  
your mouth can result in injuries if an  
air bag inflates.
