Additional safety precautions

• Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is moving.
  A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt during a crash or emergency stop can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or be ejected from the vehicle.
• 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
• Do not modify the front seats.
  Modification of the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components or side airbags.
• Do not place items under the front seats.
  Placing items under the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint sys-tem sensing components and wiring harnesses.
• Do not cause an impact on the doors.
  Impact on the doors, when the ignition switch is in the ON position, may cause the airbags to inflate.
• Modifications to accommodate disabilities.
  If you require modification to your vehicle to accommodate a disability, contact the HYUNDAI Customer Connect Center at 1-877-378-8727.
  Adding equipment to or modifying 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 airbag system.

Airbag warning labels

Air bag warning labels, required by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), are attached to alert the driver and passengers of potential risks of the airbag system. Be sure to read all of the information about the airbags that are installed on your vehicle in this Owner’s Manual.
