WARNING:
o 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 passenger side airbag to deploy, itcould severely injure or kill an infant orchild seated in an infant or child seat.Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is leftin a closed vehicle, be sure to check theseat cover and buckles before placing achild there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so thatit will not be thrown forward in the caseof a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should still sit in the rearseat and be restrained with the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. Never allowchildren to ride in the front passengerseat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoul-der, never across the neck or behindthe back. Moving the child closer to thecenter of the vehicle may help provide agood shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulderbelt or the center seat lap belt mustalways be positioned as low as pos-sible on the child's hips and as snug aspossible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seatin order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will prop-erly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over aseatback; it may not provide adequatesecurity in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms whilst they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in se-rious injury to the child in the event ofan accident or a sudden stop. Holdinga child in a moving vehicle does notprovide the child with any means ofprotection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child is wearinga seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not an- chored properly, the risk of a childbeing seriously injured or killed in acollision greatly increases. B230F01A-EAT Installation on Rear Seat Centre Posi- tion Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. Afterinstallation of the child restraint system, rockthe child seat back and forth, and side to sideto ensure that it is properly secured by theseat belt.

When you un-buckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, theretractor will automatically revert back to itsnormal seated passenger emergency lockingusage condition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufac-turer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checkedimmediately by your Hyundaiauthorised repairer.
WARNING:Do not install any child restraint system inthe front passenger seat. Should an acci-dent occur and cause the passenger sideairbag to deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infantor child seat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat of yourvehicle.
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lapbelt from its retractor. Install the child restraintsystem, buckle the seat belt and allow theseat belt to take up any slack. Make sure thatthe lap portion of the belt is tight around thechild restraint system and the shoulder por-tion of the belt is positioned so that it cannotinterfere with the child's head or neck.

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat BeltYour Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to makesure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedwith the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Locking Retrac-tor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehiclestops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to leanforward too quickly, the seat belt retractor willlock into position. However, in certain frontalcollisions, the pre-tensioner will activate andpull the seat belt into tighter contact againstthe occupant's body.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTWARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operateonly one time. After activation, pre- tensioner seat belts must be replaced.All seat belts, of any type, should al-ways be replaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies for several min-utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself.This must be done by an Hyundaiauthorised repairer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in anymanner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor vehicle.
WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pre- tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
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 acti-vated in certain frontal collisions. Thepre-tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated under theseconditions even if the seat belts arenot being worn at the time of thecollision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heardand fine dust, which may appear to besmoke, may be visible in the passengercompartment. These are normal operat-ing conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and shouldnot be breathed for prolonged periods.Wash your hands and face thoroughlyafter an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.

BAG
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pre- tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-ing light on the instrument panel willblink for approximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work- ing properly, this warning light will illu-minate even if there is no malfunctionof the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turnedto "ON", or if it remains illuminatedafter blinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates whilst thevehicle is being driven, please have anHyundai authorised repairer inspect thepre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible.

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemen- tal Restraint (Airbag) System. The indicationsof the system's presence are the letters "SRSAIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad coverin the steering wheel and the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in- stalled under the pad covers in the centre ofthe steering wheel and the passenger's sidefront panel above the glove box. The purposeof the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driverand/or the front passenger with additionalprotection than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal impact ofsufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the reverseside of the sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supplemen- tal to, the driver's and the passenger'sthree point seat belt systems and is nota substitute for them. Therefore yourseat belts must be worn at all timeswhilst the vehicle is in motion. In addi-tion, the airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severe enoughto likely cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle and will notdeploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only de-ploy once. Thus, seat belts must beworn at all times.

Side Impact RolloverB240C01FC
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not normally deploy in frontalcrashes below the deployment thresh-old speed.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating positionto minimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sitor lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhilst the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal injuries.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded di-
rectly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags.Further opening of the covers then allows fullinflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's orthe passenger's forward motion, thus reduc-ing the risk of head or chest injury.
CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories
(drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above theglove box in a vehicle with passenger'sside air bag. Such objects may become When the SRSCM detects a considerable

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

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash yourhands and face thoroughly with luke-warm water and a mild soap after anaccident in which the airbags were de-ployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Ifthe SRS SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on, after flashingfor about 6 seconds when the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes onwhilst driving, the SRS is not workingproperly. If this occurs, have your ve-hicle immediately inspected by yourHyundai authorised repairer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon- nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-tion key to the "LOCK" position orremove the ignition key. Never removeor replace the air bag related fuse(s)when the ignition key is in the "ON"position. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illuminate.
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag immedi- ately starts deflating, enabling the driver tomaintain forward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place itnear the instrument cluster nor on theinstrument panel pad surface. If there isany leakage from the air freshener ontothese areas (instrument cluster, instrumentpanel pad or air ventilator), it may damagethese parts.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water.Solvents or cleaners could adverselyaffect the airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an Hyundai authorised re-pairer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of per-sonal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor-tant points and make certain that thismanual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have thecar towed to Hyundai authorised re-pairer.
