Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid (2024 year). Manual in english

3-57

OHI038158

NEVER lean on the door or center console or sit on

one side of the front passenger seat.

OJX1039069

Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heavily

padded clothes such as ski wear and hip protector.

OJX1039070

Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets

and cushions which cover up the car seat surface.

OJX1039071

Do not place electronic devices such as laptops, DVD

player, or conductive materials such as water bottles

on the passenger seat.

Do not use electronic devices such as laptops and

satellite radios which use inverter chargers.

OJX1039072

If large quantity of liquid has been spilled on the

passenger seat, the air bag warning light may

illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the seat has been completely

dried before driving the vehicle.

Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the

occupant detection system, if they puncture the seat cushion.

Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.

When changing or replacing the seat or seat cover, use original items only.

The OCS has been developed based on using original HYUNDAI car seats only.

Altering or changing the authentic parts may result in system malfunction and

increase risk of injury when in collision. Any of the above could interfere with the

proper operation of the OCS sensor thereby increasing the risk of an injury in an

accident.

Seats & Safety System

3-58

OHI038118

Proper seated position for OCS

If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”

indicator is on when an adult is seated

in the front passenger seat, place the

Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF

position and ask the passenger to sit

properly (sitting upright with the seat

back in an upright position, centered

on the seat cushion with their seat belt

on, legs comfortably extended and their

feet on the floor). Restart the engine and

have the person remain in that position.

This will allow the system to detect the

person and to enable the passenger air

bag. If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”

indicator is still on, ask the passenger to

move to the rear seat.

WARNING

NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride

in the front passenger seat when the

“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator

is illuminated. During a collision, the

air bag will not inflate if the indicator

is illuminated. Have your passenger

reposition themselves in the seat. If the

“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator

remains illuminated after the passenger

repositions themselves properly

and the vehicle is restarted, have

the passenger move to the rear seat

because the air bag will not inflate.

NOTICE

The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”

indicator generally illuminates for

approximately 4 seconds after the

Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON

or START position. But, if the Engine

START/STOP button is pressed to the

ON or START position within 3 minutes

after the engine is turned OFF, the

indicator does not illuminate. If the

front passenger seat is occupied,

the OCS will then classify the front

passenger after several more seconds.

3-59

Do not install a Child Restraint

System on the front passenger seat

OHI039193N

Even though your vehicle is equipped

with the OCS, never install a child

restraint in the front passenger’s seat.

An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a

child or child restraint resulting in serious

or fatal injury.

WARNING

NEVER use a rearward facing Child

Restraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH

or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can

occur.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a

collision?

There are certain types of accidents in

which the air bag would not be expected

to provide additional protection. These

include rear impacts, second or third

collisions in multiple impact accidents,

as well as low speed impacts. Damage to

the vehicle indicates a collision energy

absorption, and is not an indicator of

whether or not an air bag should have

inflated.

Air bag collision sensors

WARNING

To reduce the risk of an air bag

deploying unexpectedly and causing

serious injury or death:

Do not hit or allow any objects to

impact the locations where air bags

or sensors are installed.

Do not perform maintenance on or

around the air bag sensors. If the

location or angle of the sensors is

altered, the air bags may deploy

when they should not or may not

deploy when they should.

Installing bumper guards with non-

genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent

parts may adversely affect the

collision and airbag deployment

performance.

Press the Engine Start/Stop button to

the OFF or ACC position and wait for

3 minutes when the vehicle is being

towed to prevent inadvertent air bag

deployment.

Have all air bag repairs performed by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

3-61

Air bag inflation conditions

ONX4030046

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate

in a frontal collision depending on the

severity of impact of the front collision.

ONX4030050

ONX4A033004

Side and curtain air bags

Side and curtain air bags are designed

to inflate when an impact is detected by

side collision sensors depending on the

severity.
Although the driver’s and front

passenger’s air bags are designed to

inflate in frontal collisions, they also may

inflate in other types of collisions if the

front impact sensors detect a sufficient

impact. Side and curtain air bags are

designed to inflate in side impact

collisions, but they may inflate in other

collisions if the side impact sensors

detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are

designed to inflate when a rollover

is detected by a rollover sensor. (if

equipped with rollover sensor)
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by

bumps or objects on unimproved roads,

the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully

on unimproved roads or on surfaces not

designed for vehicle traffic to prevent

unintended air bag deployment.

Seats & Safety System

3-62

Air bag non-inflation conditions

ONX4030047

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.

ONX4030048

Front air bags are not designed to inflate

in rear collisions, because occupants

are moved backward by the force of the

impact. In this case, inflated air bags

would not provide any additional benefit.

ONX4030049

Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collisions, because occupants

move in the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, front air bag

deployment would not provide additional

occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags and

the front center air bag may inflate

depending on the severity of impact.

OTM030034

In an 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 benefit, and thus

the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

3-63

ONX4030051

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 “underride” situation

because deceleration forces that are

detected by sensors may be significantly

reduced by such “underride” collisions.

ONX4030053

Front air bags may not inflate in

rollover accidents because front air bag

deployment would not provide additional

occupant protection.

ONX4030052

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle

collides with objects such as utility poles

or trees, where the point of impact is

concentrated and the collision energy is

absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Seats & Safety System

3-64

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-free

and there are no parts you can safely

service by yourself. If the SRS air bag

warning light does not illuminate when

the Engine Start/Stop button is in the

ON position, or continuously remains on,

have your vehicle immediately inspected

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as

removing, installing, repairing, or any

work on the steering wheel, the front

passenger’s panel, front seats and roof

rails must be performed by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling of

the SRS system may result in serious

personal injury.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death take the following precautions:

Do not attempt to modify or

disconnect the SRS components or

wiring, including the addition of any

kind of badges to the pad covers or

modifications to the body structure.

Do not place objects over or near

the air bag modules on the steering

wheel, instrument panel, and the

front passenger’s panel above the

glove box.

Clean the air bag pad covers with

a soft cloth moistened with plain

water. Solvents or cleaners could

adversely affect the air bag covers

and proper deployment of the

system.

Always have inflated air bags

replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

If components of the air bag system

must be discarded, or if the vehicle

must be scrapped, certain safety

precautions must be observed.

Consult an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer for the necessary information.

Failure to follow these precautions

could increase the risk of personal

injury.

3-65

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 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 harnesses.

Do not cause impact to the doors.

Impact to the doors when the Engine

Start/Stop button is in the ON or START

position may cause the air bags to

inflate.

Modifications to accommodate

disabilities.

If you require modification

to your vehicle to accommodate

a disability, contact the HYUNDAI

Customer Connect Center at 800-633-

5151.

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 air bag system.

Air Bag Warning Labels

ODN8039057L

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 air bag system.
Be sure to read all of the information

about the air bags that are installed on

your vehicle in this Owners Manual.

the seat belt is not fastened.

For more details, refer to “Seat Belts”

section in chapter 3.

Air bag warning light

This warning light illuminates:

When you set the ignition switch or

the Engine Start/Stop button to the

ON position.

- The air bag warning light illuminates

for about 3 ~ 6 seconds and then

turns off when all checks have been

performed.

The air bag warning light will remain

illuminated if there is a malfunction

with the Safety Restraint System (SRS)

air bag operation.
If the Air Bag warning light remains

illuminated while driving, have the

vehicle inspected by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

Parking brake warning light

This warning light illuminates:

When you set the ignition switch or

the Engine Start/Stop button to the

ON position.

- The parking brake light illuminates

for about 3 seconds and will then

turn off once the parking brake is

released.

Whenever the parking brake is

applied.

Whenever the brake fluid level in the

reservoir is low.

- If the warning light illuminates

with the parking brake released, it

indicates the brake fluid level in the

reservoir is low.

Whenever the regenerative brake

does not operate.

If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is
low:

1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe

location and stop your vehicle.

2. With the engine stopped, check the

brake fluid level immediately and add

fluid as required

(For more details,

refer to “Brake Fluid” section in

chapter 9)

. After adding brake fluid,

check all brake components for fluid

leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or

if the warning light remains on, or if

the brakes do not operate properly, do

not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle

inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

Dual-diagonal braking system

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-

diagonal braking system. This means you

still have braking on two wheels even if

one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems

working, more than normal pedal travel

and greater pedal pressure is required to

stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short

a distance with only a portion of the

brake system working.
If you experience a malfunction with

the brake system while driving, attempt

to slow your vehicle by coasting or

by using engine braking. You may be

able to reduce your vehicle speed by

manually downshifting to a lower gear.

Use Manual Shift Mode using either the

gear shift button or the paddle shifters (if

equipped) to shift to a lower gear.

WARNING

Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning

Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light

ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake

warning light illuminates with the

parking brake released, it indicates that

the brake fluid level is low.
If this occurs, have the vehicle

inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

Instrument Cluster

Regenerative brake warning

light

(yellow)

This warning light illuminates:

When the regenerative brake does not

operate and the brake does not perform

well. This causes the Brake Warning

light (red) and Regenerative Brake

Warning Light (yellow) to illuminate

simultaneously.
If this occurs, drive safely and have
