1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI32
!
o 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 inte-
rior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the belt
could press deep into the child caus-
ing serious internal injuries.
o 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 chil-
dren inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehicle.
o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder belt un-
der their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
WARNING:
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 case of
a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All chil-
dren, even those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the rear seat.
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o 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 inflat-
ing airbag resulting in serious or fa-
tal injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child re-
straint maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the car and your
child is securely restrained in the
child seat.
!
WARNING:
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
system 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.
!
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.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI58
B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on floor-
ing, you shouldn't try to start the
engine; have the car towed to an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
