Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can
be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and
where you are travelling. Infant and
Child Restraint System must be prop-
erly placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
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 Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Safety
Standard of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the Child Restraint System for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. 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 system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat. ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a Child
Restraint System appropriate for
the child’s height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to a child and other
passengers, NEVER hold a child
in your lap or arms when the vehi-
cle is moving. The violent forces
created during an accident will
tear the child from your arms and
throw the child against the interior
of the vehicle.WARNING

2-32
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint maker.
Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when riding in a vehicle.
The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the
child against the car’s interior.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The car can heat up
very quickly, resulting in seri-
ous injuries to children inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehi-
cle.
Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand-up
or kneel on the seat or floor-
board of a moving vehicle.
During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious
injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over
a child.
After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint sys-
tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraint
system in the rear right seat.

Air bag warning and indicator
(if equipped)
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your air bag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the warning light should illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.
Have the system checked if:
The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.
SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module*
(2) Passenger's front air bag module*
(3) Pre-tensioner seatbelt system*
(4) Driver's air bag warning light*
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)*
(6) Front impact sensors*
(7) Side impact air bag modules*
(8) Curtain air bag modules *
(9) Side impact sensors *
* : if equipped

In case of the Left-hand drive vehi-
cle, the sensors and modules are in
the symmetrically opposite order.
The SRSCM continuously monitors
all SRS components while the igni-
tion switch is ON to determine if a
crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.The air bag modules are located
both in the center of the steering
wheel and in the front passenger's
panel above the glove box. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags. If any of the following condi-
tions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction of the SRS. We rec-
ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The light does not turn on
briefly when you turn the igni-
tion ON.
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately 6
seconds.
The light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the igni-
tion switch is in ON position.

When installing a container of
liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.
If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a
fine dust released in the vehi-
cle. These conditions are nor-
mal and are not hazardous -
the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generat-
ed during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and
a mild soap after an accident
in which the air bags were
deployed.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
Before you replace a fuse or
disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.

Front and side impact air bags
can injure occupants improp-
erly positioned in the front
seats.
Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers
should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in
an upright position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
No objects (such as crash pad
cover, cellular phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stick-
ers) should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, windshield glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
If the SRS air bag warning
light remains illuminated
while the vehicle is being driv-
en, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Air bags can only be used
once – we recommend that
the system be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The SRS is designed to deploy
the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe
and when the impact angle is
less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehi-
cle. Additionally, the air bags
will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
Front air bags are not intend-
ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold.
A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could
be severely injured or killed
by an air bag deployment in
case of an accident.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen-
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.(Continued)If the air bags inflate, we rec-
ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions
must be observed. An author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer knows
these precautions and can
give you the necessary infor-
mation. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
If your car was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you shouldn't
try to start the engine; we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules 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
air bags to inflate.
