B230D08E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor"
systemSome child seat manufacturers make
safety seats that are labeled as LATCH or
LATCH-compatible child seats. LATCH
stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children". These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two LATCH 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 in the rear seats.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's in-
structions to properly install child restraint
seats with LATCH or LATCH-compatible
attachments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop-
erly attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors. Also, test the safety seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat for-
ward. Check to see if the anchors hold the
seat in place.

B230F01A-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Rear Seat Center PositionUse the center seat belt for the rear seat
to secure the child restraint system as
illustrated. After installation of the child
restraint system, rock the child seat back
and forth, and side to side to ensure that
it is properly secured by the seat belt. If
the child seat moves, readjust the length
of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert
the child restraint tether strap hook into
the child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat. Always refer to the
child restraint system manufacturer's rec-
ommendation before installing the child
restraint system in your vehicle.

CAUTION:
Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to
get scratched or pinched by the child
seat latch and LATCH anchor during the
installation.
WARNING:
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger 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. Therefore, only use a child
restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
o Before installing a Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems in
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-
tem" section to ensure correct instal-
lation and that occupant protection is
maximized. If the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode, the belt will be locked. After instal-
lation of the child restraint system, try to
move it in all directions to be sure the
child restraint system is securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more
webbing toward the retractor. When you
unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to
retract, the retractor will automatically
revert back to its normal seated passen-
ger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/
lap belt entirely from its retractor until a
"click" is felt. This will engage the seat belt
retractor automatic locking feature, which
allows the seat belt to retract but not
extend. Install the child restraint system,
buckle the seat belt and allow the seat
belt to take up any slack. Make sure that
the lap portion of the belt is tight around
the child restraint system and the shoul-
der portion of the belt is positioned so that
it cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. Also, double check to be sure that
the retractor has engaged the automatic
locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor.B230G02MC-AATChild Restraint System Installation

B990B02MC-AATSide Impact AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side im-
pact airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.
B990B02LZ
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat just after sit-in or
restart of the engine, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be
turned on or off for a few seconds,
disabling or enabling the passenger
airbags. After the initial stage of about
30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers
on the front seats.
!
WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that chil-
dren are safer if they are restrained
in the rear, as opposed to the front
seat. It is recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat,
including an infant riding in a rear-
facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
o Airbags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
replace the airbag immediately after
deployment.

Charging System Warning
Light
The charging system warning light should
come on when the ignition is turned on,
then go out when the engine is running.
If the light stays on while the engine is
running, there is a malfunction in the
electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possble.

Check Fuel Filler Cap Warn-
ing Light
This warning light indicates the fuel filler
cap is not tight securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail. With
only one of the dual systems working,
more than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the brake
system working. If the brakes fail while
you are driving, shift to a lower gear for
additional engine braking and stop the
car as soon as it is safe to do so.

WARNING:
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you
must use your cellular phone use
it in a place away from the gas
station.
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow
sparks and open flames near the
filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flam-
mable vapors and gasoline could
leak out in dangerous situations such
as a collision or rollover. If the filler
cap must be replaced, only use genu-
ine Hyundai replacement parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
"light will illuminate.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during
high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard.
This is normal and not a cause for
concern. Whenever you open the fuel
filler cap, turn it slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or death
by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.
!
WARNING:

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI96
!
WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.
