Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the oper
ation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to
its upright position, hold the seat
back and return it slowly and be
sure there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could move forward or backward
resulting in accidental injury to a
person struck by the seatback.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with seatback
reclined could lead to serious or
fatal injury in an accident. If a seat
is reclined during an accident, the
occupant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belt and air
bags) is greatly reduced by reclin
ing your seat. Serious or fatal inter
nal injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to keep
the seatback in an upright position
whenever the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and passenger. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap por
tion of the seat belt during an acci
dent or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt can't oper
ate normally.

passenger’s seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON
or if it is disconnected after the igni
tion switch is turned ON, the seat

the belt is fastened. If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over 9 km/h, the
illuminated warning light will start to
blink until you drive under 6 km/h.
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over 20 km/h (12
mph) the seat belt warning chime will
sound for approximately 100 sec
onds and the corresponding warning
light will blink.

Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries:
•Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.
•Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
•Always make sure the child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
•Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.
•Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver
tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win
dows, or lock themselves or oth
ers inside the vehicle.
•Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same seat
belt.
•Children often squirm and reposi
tion themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper
ly position and secure children in
rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Never allow a child to standup or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli
sion or sudden stop, the child can
be violently thrown against the
vehicles interior, resulting in seri
ous injury.
•Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro
vide adequate security in an acci
dent.
•Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten
ing them over a child.
•After an accident, we recom
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.

Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System and checking that the Child
Restraint System fits properly in the
rear of this vehicle, you are ready to
install the Child Restraint System
according to the manufacturer’s
instruction. There are three general
steps in installing the Child Restraint
Systems properly: •
Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle.All Child
Restraint System must be secured
to the vehicle with the lap belt or
lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or
with the ISOFIX toptether and/or
ISOFIX anchorage.
•
Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured. After
installing a Child Restraint System
to the vehicle, push and pull the
seat forward and from sidetoside
to verify that it is securely attached
to the seat. A Child Restraint
System secured with a seat belt
should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some sideto
side movement can be expected. When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat (up
and down, forward and rearward)
so that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a comfortable
manner.
•
Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the
Child Restraint System according
to the Child Restraint System man
ufacturer’s instructions.
Before installing your Child
Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of
the Child Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions could increase the risk
of the SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a Child
Restraint System, the headrest of
the respective seating position
shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
WARNING
A Child Restraint System in a
closed vehicle can become very
hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.
CAUTION

The ISOFIX anchorages symbols
are located on the left and right rear
seat cushions to identify the position
of the ISOFIX anchorages in your
vehicle (see arrows in illustration).
Both rear outboard seats are equipped
with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well as a corresponding toptether
anchorage on the back side of the rear seats.
(Child Restraint Systems with universal approval according to ECER44
or ECER129 need to be fixed addi tionally with a toptether connected tothe back side of the rear seats.) ISOFIX anchorages are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions.
To use the ISOFIX anchorages, push
the upper por tion of the ISOFIX
anchorage cover.

•There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to the
steering wheel.
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath
ing due to the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.
Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis
comfort and prevent prolonged expo
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult
with the doctor if the symptom per
sists.
•To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi
ble. The front passenger should
always move their seat as far
back as possible and sit back in
their seat.
•Air bag inflates instantly in an
event of a collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
a proper position.
•Air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage areas internal compo
nents immediately after an air bag
has inflated.
