B230A03P-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop orsudden manoeuvre. According to accident sta-tistics, children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the front seat.Larger children should use one of the seat beltsprovided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Followall the instructions provided by the manufac-turer when installing the child restraint system.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 20 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 the seatbelt. If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the childrestraint tether strap hook into the child restrainthook holder and tighten to secure the seat.Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer's recommendation before install-ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, we recommend the use of an ap-proved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild.
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 a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms whilst they are in a moving vehicle,as this could result in serious injury tothe child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child orinfant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys- tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case ofa sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck. Moving the childcloser to the centre of the vehicle mayhelp provide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the centre seat lap belt must always bepositioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

B230G01A-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system in the out- board rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap beltfrom its retractor. Install the child restraint sys-tem, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat beltto take up any slack. Make sure that the lapportion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder portion of thebelt is positioned so that it cannot interfere withthe child's head or neck. After installation of thechild restraint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraint systemis securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web- bing toward the retractor. When you unbucklethe seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractorwill automatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys- tem, read the instructions supplied bythe child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de- scribed, have the system checked imme-diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:Do not install any child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Should an acci-dent occur and cause the passenger sideairbag to deploy, it could severely injure orkill an infant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a child re-straint system in the rear seat of your ve-hicle.

B230D03E-EAT Securing a Child Restraint System with "ISOFIX" System and "Tether An-chorage" System ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the stan-dard adult seat belt to secure the seat in thevehicle. This enables a much more secure andpositive location with the added benefit of easierand quicker installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in accordance withthe requirements of ECE-R44. For your Hyundai,the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo /Römer ISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX/ Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved according tothe requirement ECE-R44. This seat has beentested extensively by Hyundai and is recom-mended for your Hyundai.

NOTE:
At present, this seat is the only one comply-
ing with that provision. In case that other manufacturers will furnish proof of a re-spective certification, Hyundai is going toevaluate this seat carefully and will give arecommendation provided that seat com-plies to the law. Please ask your Hyundaidealer in this respect.
On each side of the rear seat, between the
cushion and backrest, are located a pair ofISOFIX anchorage points together with a toptether mounting on the luggage compartment.During the installing, the seat has to be en-gaged at the anchorage-points in a way youcan hear it clicking (check by pulling!) and hasto be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on thebelonging point in the luggage-compartment.The installing and the use of a child-seat has tobe done according to the installing-manual,which is added to the ISOFIX-seat.

WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre- tensioner seat belts must be replaced.All seat belts, of any type, should alwaysbe replaced after they have been wornduring a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
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, insp-ect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent ac-tivation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated aloneor, where the frontal collision is severeenough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard andfine dust, which may appear to be smoke,may be visible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operating condi-tions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should notbe breathed for prolonged periods. Washyour hands and face thoroughly after anaccident in which the pre-tensioner seatbelts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with 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 turnoff.

The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements whilst the ignition is "ON" to determine if afrontal or near-frontal impact is severe enoughto require airbag deployment.o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not nor-mally deploy in frontal crashes below thedeployment threshold speed.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includingthe driver should always wear their seatbelts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating position to mini-mize the risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbag whilstthe vehicle is in motion.

NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the reverse of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times whilst the vehicle isin motion. The airbags deploy only incertain frontal impact conditions severeenough to likely cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently se-vere and when the impact angle is lessthan 30° from the forward longitudinalaxis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Addition-ally, the airbags will only deploy once.Thus, seat belts must be worn at alltimes.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in which protection canbe provided by the seat belt alone.
