shoulder 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, we recommend the use of an ap- proved 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.
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.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's
arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an acci- dent, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly increases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat 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 boot 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 sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind 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/
B230A02GK-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children 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, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints 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 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.

On outboard rear seats
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. 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 shoulder portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation 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 passenger emergency locking usage condition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild 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 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. B230B02GK-GAT Using a Child Restraint System with "Tether Anchorage" System For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is strongly recommended. This child seat or infant seat should be of appro- priate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is further recommended 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 two child restraint hook holders for installing the child seat or infant seat.

B230F01GK
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 the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and positive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in accordance with the 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 to the re- quirement ECE-R44. This seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai and is recommended 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 respec- tive certification, Hyundai is going to evalu- ate this seat carefully and will give a recom- mendation provided that seat complies to the law. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in this respect.

On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located a pair of ISOFIX anchorage points together with a top tether mount- ing on the luggage compartment. During the installing, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you can hear it click- ing (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point in the luggage-compartment. The installing and the use of a child-seat has to be done according to the installing-manual, which is added to the ISOFIX- seat. NOTE: An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed if the seat has a vehicle-specific approval ac- cording to ECE-R44. Before using the ISOFIX- child-seat, which was bought for another car, ask your Hyundai-dealer whether this seat- type is approved and recommended for your Hyundai. To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seat to the
ISOFIX anchor, insert the child restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audible "click" sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Refer to "Securing a Child Restraint System with the Tether Anchorage System" on page 1-15.
HGK261 WARNING:
o There is no rear centre seating position.
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the
center of the rear seat using the vehicle'sISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left and right out- board rear seating positions. Do not mis- use the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX attachments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint seat properly in the center of the rear seat and may break, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re- straint to a child restraint lower anchor- age point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child restraint seat only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint.

B180B01GK-GAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (Not all models) Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occu- pant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops sudden- ly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into posi- tion. However, in certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.

Driver's Side Airbag
B240A01GK-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)(Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the ornament in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas- senger with additional protection than that of- fered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
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 alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac-
tivated, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci- dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat beltalso.
o If there is some malfunction in the pre- tensioner seat belt circuit, the warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction in the SRS airbag system. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate or illuminates continuously when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi- nates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
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 always be replaced after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa- tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
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 any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, in- spect, replace, service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent acti- vation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT1- 19
o The driver should sit back as far as pos-sible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering 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 re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.

Side Impact Rollover
NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside 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 point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags
only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended deploy in
light collisions in which protection can be provided by the seat belt.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not de- ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed. o Do not install a child restraint system in the
front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If older children (teenages and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types
of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.

B240B01GK-D
CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in the vehicle with passenger's side air bag. Such objects may become dangerous pro- jectiles and cause injury if the passenger's side air bag inflates. Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further open- ing of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on theinstrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out.
B240B01GK-AAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Side Airbag Module - Passenger's Side Airbag Module - SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) - SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to re- quire airbag deployment.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be aloud noise and fine dust will be releasedthroughout the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. How- ever, the fine dust generated during airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thor- oughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni-
tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on or illuminates continuously when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, or comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a
battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the igni- tion key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate.
FUD1115A
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop- erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility. CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air fresh- ener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel pad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (instrument cluster, instrument panel pad or air ventila- tor), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately. Your Hyundai is equipped with a side airbag ineach front seat. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas- senger with additional protection than that of- fered by the seatbelt alone. The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during cer- tain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

1- 22 WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir-ing,
including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the horn pad, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moist- ened with plain water. Solvents or clean- ers could adversely affect the airbag cover and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag module on the steering wheel, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
o If the airbag inflates, it 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 result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbag 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 precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured by thedeploying side airbag, both front seat oc- cupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re- duce the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and thefront seat. Such objects may become dan- gerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the
side air bag that may result in personal injury,avoid impact to the side airbag sen- sor when the ignition key is on. FB110C2-F SRS Care
YT10355A
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be in- spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer 10 years after the date that the vehicle was manu- factured. Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious personal injury.
