Hyundai Elantra: Occupant classification system
Understanding how to operate the sunroof and windows of your Hyundai Elantra adds to the overall driving experience. This section explains control functions and safety tips for window use.
Your vehicle is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated front passenger and determine if the passenger's front air bag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The driver's front air bag is not affected or controlled by the occupant classification system.
WARNING
Do not put anything in front of the passenger air bag off indicator
The occupant classification system in your Hyundai Elantra is a sophisticated safety feature that automatically determines the size, weight, and posture of a front passenger. It ensures that airbags deploy appropriately and at the correct force during an accident, or suppresses deployment if a child seat or lightweight passenger is detected. This adaptive protection not only minimizes unnecessary risk but reflects Hyundai’s thoughtful commitment to intelligent safety. Understanding how this system functions allows you to ensure proper seating and maintain conditions that support accurate detection and effective response.
