CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03A-GAT (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you 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. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions pro- vided by the manufacturer when in-stalling 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's front airbag to deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if itis left in a closed vehicle on a sunny day, even if the outside temperature does not feel hot. Besure 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 trunkor fasten it with a safety belt sothat it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.

B230G01JM-GAT Installation on the Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system on the outboard rear seats, extend the shoul- der/lap belt from its retractor. Buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt totake up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child restraint system and the shoulderportion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation of the childrestraint 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 youunbuckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated pas-senger emergency locking usage con- dition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child re-
straint system, read the instruc- tions supplied by the child re- straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the systemchecked immediately by yourauthorized Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
o Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger's front airbagto 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 Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with Cur-tain Airbags, always refer to safety notices for Curtain Airbag sys- tems on this manual. Whenever installing child restraints, use onlyapproved devices and refer to "Child Restraint System" to en- sure correct installation and occu-pant protection is maximized.

o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or achild restraint lower anchorage point. The improper increased loadmay cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com- patible child seat only to the ap-propriate locations shown in theillustration.
o Always follow the installation and

NOTE:
o Both the driver's and frontpassenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, whichmay appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operat-ing conditions and are not haz- ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash all ex-posed skin areas thoroughly af- ter an accident in which the pre- tensioner seat belts were activated.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo- nents, whose locations are shown in the illustration:
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position. 4
!
In certain frontal collisions, the pre- tensioner will activate and pull the seatbelt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. The buckle pre- tensioner (which is installed in thebuckle) will also pull the seat belt into the buckle.
CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle. Placing objects near the buckle can adversely affect the buckle pre- tensioner and may increase the riskof personal injury in the event of a collision. If the system senses excessive seat belt tension on the driver or passenger's seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti- vates, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will release some of the pres- sure on the affected seat belt.

o The pre-tensioner seat belt as-
sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt as- semblies for several minutes af- ter they have been activated.

WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at alltimes while the vehicle is in mo- tion. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
