B230A02TB-DAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM If the child is old enough to sit alone and the car is not equipped with a proper child or infant seat, the childshould be placed in the rear seat and restrained with a shoulder/lap belt. Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIXanchors (if installed). o When the child restraint system is
not in use, store it in the luggage
compartment or fasten it with a
safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or accident.
o A child restraint system should be placed in the vehicle's rear seatsince this can make an importantcontribution to safety.
o Unrestrained children should not
be carried in the car. Holding achild in your arms is not a satis- factory substitute for a child re- straint system. A child held inthis manner can be crushed be- tween your body and the interior of the car.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle. This could re-sult in serious injury or death to the child in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not give protection during an ac- cident, even if the person hold-ing the child is wearing a seat belt.
WARNING:
o Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-stances are they to be used for adult seat belts harnesses or for attaching other items or equip-ment to the vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure and check the seat cover and buckles before placing achild there.B220C01Y-DAT To Release the Seat Belt When you want to release the seat belt, press the button in the locking buckle. B220C02TB
WARNING:
The centre belt latching mechanismis different from those for the rear seat shoulder belts. When fasten- ing the rear seat shoulder belts orthe rear seat centre belt, make sure they are inserted into the correct buckles to obtain maximum protec-tion from the seat belt system and assure proper operation.

o Never use an infant carrier or child

1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags.

dust may cause skin irritation and should not be inhaled forprolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti- vated.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-ing light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ig- nition key is turned to "ON", or ifit remains illuminated after blink- ing for approximately 6 seconds,

Driver's Airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Air Bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver andpassenger seating positions. The indi- cations of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossedon the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and printed on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glovebox. B240A03TB-DAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likelycause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the centre of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat belt alone, in case of a frontal impact ofsufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor.

The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator(SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi- tion, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed.
o For maximum safety in event of
collision, all occupants shouldwear their seat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury or death. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion. o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupantis out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupantcausing serious or fatal injuries.
