B150B02A-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
Information about the use of these restraints
begins on page 1-22.
B150A01S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle is
equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-30. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag sys-
tem. State laws require that some or all occu-
pants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possi-
bility of increased injury or severity of injury
in an accident will be increased if this elemen-
tary safety precaution is not observed.
In addition, follow the other instructions
provided in this section.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants and
children. In a collision, an unrestrained child
can become a "missile" inside the car. The
force required to hold a child on your lap
could be so great that you could not hold the
child. Any child riding in the vehicle should
always be in a proper restraint.NOTE:Small children are best protected from injury
in an accident when properly restrained in the
rear seat by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-22.

B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary, you should consult a physician for rec-
ommendations.B150F01A-AATOne Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.B150G01A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum effec-
tiveness of the restraint system, all passen-
gers should be sitting up and the front seats
should be in an upright position when the car
is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper
protection if the person is lying down in the rear
seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined. The
shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your strong pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly. See Page 1-19.
B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended 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 abdo-
men. For specific recommendations, consult a
physician.B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The
lap portion should be fastened snug on the
hips and as low as possible. 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 sys-
tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age
13) must be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed
in the rearmost position. Children under the
age of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age
of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear
facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt 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 let you move around. If
there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.

Outboard Rear Seat 3-Point System
with Combination Locking Retractor :
To Fasten Your BeltCombination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features
of both an emergency locking retractor seat
belt and an automatic locking retractor seat
belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-

cally adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended from the
retractor to allow the installation of a child
restraint system, the seat belt operation
changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to
extend (Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
See page 1-27.NOTE:Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated pas-
sengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that seated
passengers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience. The auto-
matic locking function is intended to facilitate
child restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the emer-
gency locking operation mode, allow the un-
buckled seat belt to fully retract.
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-
ed belt can't do its job as well. In a colli-
sion, it could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

B200A01A-AATAdjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion as low as
possible and snugly across your hips, not on
your waist. If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the chance of
injury in the event of a collision. Both arms
should not be under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the other under, as
shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm near-
est the door.

WARNING:
The center lap belt latching mechanism is
different from those for the rear seat shoulder
belts. When fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make sure they are
inserted into the correct buckle to obtain
maximum protection from the seat belt sys-
tem and assure proper operation.
B230A02A-AATChildren 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, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
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 provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
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 particular
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.
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, 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.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should still sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.

B230B01E-AATUsing a Child Restraint System with
the "Tether Anchorage" SystemFor 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
accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. It is further required that the seat be
placed in the vehicle's rear seat since this can
make an important contribution to safety. Your
vehicle is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat or
infant seat.
!
WARNING:
o Always make sure that the shoulder
belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-
der belt is positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the neck or be-
hind the back. Moving the child closer
to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
or the center seat lap belt must always
be positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of
an approved booster seat in the rear
seat in order to raise the child's seating
height so that the seat belt will properly
fit the child. Before purchasing a
booster seat, make sure that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-
factory for use with this vehicle.
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 may
not provide adequate security in an acci-
dent.
WARNING:
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a mov-
ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-
ous injury to the child in the event of an
accident or a sudden stop. Holding a
child in a moving vehicle does not pro-
vide the child with any means of protec-
tion during an accident, even if the per-
son holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.

B230D04E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX" SystemSome child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments that con-
nect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach
the child seat for forward-facing child seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for the
center rear seating position.

!
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at
the center of the rear seat using the
vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for the left
and right outboard rear seating posi-
tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX an-
chors by attempting to attach a child
restraint seat improperly in the middle
of the reat seat position to the ISOFIX
anchors. In a crash, the child seat ISOFIX
attachments may not be strong enough
to secure the child restraint seat prop-
erly in the center of the rear seat and
may break, causing serious injury or
death.
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” sys-
tem to install a child restraint system in
the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear
seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must
be latched securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt webbing must
be retracted behind the child restraint
to prevent the child from reaching and
taking hold of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs
may allow the child to reach the
unretracted seat belts which may result
in strangulation and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child restraint.
