Passengers must not stand up or change seats while the vehicle is in motion.

A passenger not wearing a seat belt during a collision or emergency stop may be thrown inside the vehicle, struck by other occupants, or ejected from the vehicle.

Do not use any accessories on the seat belts.

Devices intended to increase passenger comfort or change the position of the seat belt may reduce the protection provided by the seat belt and increase the likelihood of serious injury in a collision.

Do not modify the front seats.

Modifying the front seats may interfere with the operation of the supplemental passive safety system sensors or side airbags.

Do not place objects under the front seats.

Placing objects under the front seats may interfere with the supplemental passive safety system sensors and wiring harnesses.

Do not strike the doors.

Striking the doors while the ignition switch is in the ON position may cause the airbags to deploy.

Modifications for persons with disabilities.

If your vehicle requires modification to accommodate a disability, contact the HYUNDAI Customer Assistance Center at 800-633-5151.

Adding Equipment or Modifying a Vehicle with Airbags

If you modify your vehicle by replacing the frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal, or ground clearance, this may affect the operation of the airbag system.
