•For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
•Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,
he\fshe must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved
a

s far back as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned mid
way over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, the seat belt
can damage it.
•Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do its
job as

well. In a collision, it could
even cut into you. Be sure the
belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
•Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If the
belt webbing or hardware is
damaged, replace it.
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care sh

ould be taken to avoid con
tamination of the webbing with pol
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

Seat belt precautions
•Pretensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti
vation, pretensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
•The pretensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not touch
the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
•Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pretensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Do not strike the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies.

WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden
stop. Without a seat belt, occu
pants could be shifted too close to
a deploying air bag, strike the inte
rior structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the preca

utions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant seating contained in this
manual.
WARNING
•Improper handling of the pre
tensioner seat belt assemblies,
and failure to heed the warnings
not to strike, modify, inspect,
replace, service or repair the
pretensioner seat belt assem
blies may lead to improper oper
ation or inadvertent activation
and serious injury.
•Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a motor
vehicle.
•If the vehicle or pretensioner
seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that yo
u contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the pre
tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use
of these restraints, refer to “Child
restraint system” in this section.Information
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. \fefore buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standards 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
system” in this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap\fshoulder belts. The lap
por tion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap\fshoul
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.i
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained at
all times, including infants and
children. Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a vehi
cle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.
WARNING

2
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda
tions.
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 acci
dent.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front and
rear seats should be in an upright
position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper pro
tection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front and rear
seats are in a reclined position.
Shoulder belts on small children
•Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s neck
or face while the vehicle is in
motion.
•If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on children,
there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the safety
belt over the area of the abdomen
where the fetus is located or
above the abdomen where the
belt could crush the fetus during
an impact.

"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat.
Larger children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts pro
vided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant safety seats 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 country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by the
lap belt portion of a lap\fshoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured. For small children
and babies, a child seat or infant seat
must be used. Before buying a par ticular child
restraint system, make sure it fits
your car seat and seat belts, and fits
your child. Follow all the instructions
provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.

•A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on
the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passengerside air
bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat.
Thus only use a child restraint in
the rear seat of your vehicle.
•A seat belt or child restraint sys
tem can become very hot if it is
left in a cl

osed vehicle on a
sunny day, even if the outside
temperature does not feel hot.
Be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug
gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
•Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even those
too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.

2
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

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 ca
r 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.

Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the
use of a child seat or infant seat is
required. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for
the child and should be installed in
