Hyundai Azera: Side impact air bag

Your vehicle is equipped with a side impact air bag in each front and outboard rear seat. The purpose of the air bag is to provide occupants with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone.

Your vehicle is equipped with a side impact air bag in each front and outboard rear seat. The purpose of the air bag is to provide occupants with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone.

The side impact 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.

WARNING - Unexpected deployment

Avoid impact to the side impact airbag sensor when the ignition switch is ON to prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag.

Side impact air bags are supplemental to the seat belt systems and are not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in operation. For best protection from the side air bag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying side air bag, all seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

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.

WARNING - Deployment

Do not install any accessories including seat covers, on the side or near the side impact air bag as this may affect the deployment of the side air bags.

If seat or seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING - Flying objects

Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the door and seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles if the side airbag inflates, which may result in serious injuries to the occupants.
