You should place the lap belt (1) por-
tion across your hips and the shoul-
der belt (2) portion across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the proper length after the lap belt
portion is adjusted manually so that it
fits snugly around your hips. If you
lean forward in a slow, easy motion,
the belt will extend and move with
you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact,
the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too
quickly.
NOTICE
If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from
the retractor, firmly pull the seat
belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the
belt out smoothly.
WARNING
OAE036074R
Improperly positioned seat belts
may increase the risk of serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing precautions when adjust-
ing the seat belt:
‡Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones
to absorb the force of the crash,
reducing the chance of internal
injuries.
‡Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
‡Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into locked position
at the appropriate height.
‡Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.

When it is released, the belt should
automatically draw back into the
retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt to be sure it is not
twisted, then try again.
Rear centre seat belt
(if equipped)
OAC3039044TU
When using the rear centre seat belt,
the buckle with the “CENTER” mark
must be used.
i Information
If you are not able to pull out the safety
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. After release,
you will be able to pull the belt out
smoothly.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
OLMB033039/H
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s and rear left
side and right side passenger’s pre-
tensioner seat belts (Retractor Pre-
tensioner and EFD (Emergency
Fastening Device)).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant’s body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s). The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal or
side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position.
WARNING
Make sure that the seatback is
locked in place when using the
rear center seat belt.
If not, the seatback may move
when there is a sudden stop or col-
lision, which could result in seri-
ous injury.

3-24
Safety system
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant’s body.
- Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor preten-
sioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant’s upper body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s).
- EFD (Emergency Fastening
Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant’s lower body
in certain frontal or side collisions.
(if equipped, Driver only)
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt when the pre-tensioner system
activates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt.
CAUTION
If equipped with rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision or rollover, if the
vehicle is equipped with a side or
curtain air bag.
CAUTION
Without rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
WARNING
‡Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
‡Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not protect
you properly in an accident.
‡Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func-
tion improperly.
‡Always replace your pre-tension-
ers after activation or an acci-
dent.
‡NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
‡Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti-
vated. When the pre-tensioner seat
belt mechanism deploys during a
collision, the pre-tensioner can
become hot and can burn you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system. Therefore,
we recommend that the system be
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
air bag is connected with the pre–
tensioner seat belts. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position, and then it should turn
off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illu-
minate even if the SRS air bag is
not malfunctioning. If the warning
light does not illuminate, stays illu-
minated or illuminates when the
vehicle is being driven, we recom-
mend the pre-tensioner seat belts
and/or SRS air bags be inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
as soon as possible.

Safety system
NOTICE
‡Pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or
side collisions or rollovers (if
equipped with rollover sensor).
‡When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust,
which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not
hazardous.
‡Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were
activated.
Additional seat belt safety
precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, rout-
ed between your breasts and away
from your neck. Place the lap belt
below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY
across your hips and pelvic bone,
under the rounded part of the belly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to an unborn child during
an accident, pregnant women
should NEVER place the lap portion
of the seat belt above or over the
area of the abdomen where the
unborn child is located.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among coun-
tries, so you should be aware of the
specific requirements in your country,
and where you are travelling. Infant
and child restraints must be properly
placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more details, refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child restraint
appropriate for the child’s height
and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to a child and other passen-
gers, NEVER hold a child in your lap
or arms when the vehicle is moving.
The violent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior of the vehicle.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standard of your country. The
restraint must be appropriate for your
child’s height and weight. Check the
label on the child restraint for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child’s squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rearmost
position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
WARNING
‡Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
‡NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.
‡Do not allow more than one child
to use a single seat belt.

3-28
Safety system
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-
tections of your restraint system (seat
belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoul-
der belt.
WARNING
‡NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
‡Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
‡Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not
be used because they may damage
and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci-
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. We recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
ãCRS

Our recommendation:
Children always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the rear seats of the vehicle,
unless the air bag on the front pas-
senger seat is deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat
can be forcefully struck by an
inflating air bag resulting in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimise
the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.
Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems. The laws governing the age
or height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs among
countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
country, and where you are travelling.Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available Child Restraint
System that meets the requirements
of the Safety Standards of your coun-
try.
Child Restraint Systems are general-
ly designed to be secured in a vehicle
seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion
of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage in
the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-
ward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the Child Restraint
System.
WARNING
‡Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.
‡Always properly restrain your
child in the Child Restraint
System.
‡Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks”
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate protection in an
accident.
‡After an accident, we recom-
mend a HYUNDAI dealer check
the Child Restraint System, seat
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and
top-tether anchorages.

Safety system
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
‡Make sure the CRS has a label cer-
tifying that it meets applicable
Safety Standards of your country.
‡Select a Child Restraint System
based on your child’s height and
weight. The required label or the
instructions for use typically provide
this information.
‡Select a Child Restraint System
that fits the vehicle seating position
where it will be used.
‡Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the Child
Restraint System.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing
seats, forward-facing seats, and
booster seats. They are classified
according to the child’s age, height
and weight.
CRS09
Rearward-facing Child Restraint
System
A rearward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint with the
seating surface against the back of
the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in
the Child Restraint Systems and
reduce the stress to the fragile neck
and spinal cord.
All children under the age of one year
must always ride in a rearward-facing
Child Restraint System. There are
different types of rearward-facing
Child Restraint Systems: infant-only
Child Restraint Systems can only be
used rearward-facing. Convertible
and 3-in-1 Child Restraint Systems
typically have higher height and
weight limits for the rearward-facing
position, allowing you to keep your
child rearward-facing for a longer
period of time.
Keep using Child Restraint Systems
in the rearward-facing position as
long as children fit within the height
and weight limits allowed by the Child
Restraint System’s manufacturer.

3-31
03
OIB034017
Forward-facing Child Restraint
System
A forward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint for the
child’s body with a harness. Keep
children in a forward-facing Child
Restraint System with a harness until
they reach the top height or weight
limit allowed by your Child Restraint
System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the for-
ward-facing Child Restraint System,
your child is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is Child Restraint
System designed to improve the fit of
the vehicle’s seat belt system. A
booster seat positions the seat belt
so that it fits properly over the stron-
ger parts of your child’s body. Keep
your children in booster seats until
they are big enough to fit in a seat
belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap
belt must lie comfortable across the
upper thighs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comfortable
across the shoulder and chest and
not across the neck or face. Children
under age 13 must always be prop-
erly restrained to minimise the risk of
injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden manoeuvre.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
WARNING
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 head restraint pre-
vents proper installation of a Child
Restraint System, the head
restraint of the respective seating
position shall be readjusted or
entirely removed.
After selecting a proper Child
Restraint System and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits prop-
erly in the rear of this vehicle, you are
ready to install the Child Restraint
System according to the manufactur-
er’s instruction. There are three gen-
eral 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 top-tether and/or
ISOFIX anchorage.
