Placing a passenger seat beltinto the automatic locking mode
The automatic locking mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the
seat belt to loosen and compromise
the child restraint system. To secure
a child restraint system, use the fol-
lowing procedure. To install a child restraint system on
the outboard or center rear seats, do
the following:
1. Place the child restraint system in
the seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the restraint,
following the restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions. Be sure the seat
belt webbing is not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the dis-
tinct “click” sound.
Position the release button so that itis easy to access in case of an emer-gency.
(Continued)
If the vehicle headrest pre- vents proper installation of a
child seat (as described in the
child seat system manual), the
headrest of the respective
seating position shall be read-
justed or entirely removed.

Securing a child restraint seat
with “Tether Anchor” system
Child restraint hooks are located on
the floor behind the rear seats. This symbol indicates the
position of the tether
anchor.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If your vehicle is equipped with the
tether anchor type B, the hooks may
be under the luggage mat. Take out
the hooks through the slit of the lug-
gage mat.
1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rests, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback. In case of interference
between the child restraint seat
and the headrest remove the par-
ticular head restraint for better fit-
ment of the child restraint seat.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the appropriate child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure
the child restraint seat.

WARNING - Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor or to a single lower
anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats
may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.
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 fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's "Tether Anchor" system to
install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal
latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat
belt buckles and the seat belt
webbing must be retracted
behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretract-
ed seat belts which may result
in strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.
WARNING - Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or
serious injury.

Securing a child restraint seat
with child seat lower anchor sys-tem
Some child seat manufacturers
make child restraint seats that are
labeled as LATCH or LATCH-com-
patible child restraint seats. LATCH
stands for "Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children". These seats
include two rigid or webbing mount-
ed attachments that connect to two
LATCH anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of
child restraint seat eliminates the
need to use seat belts to attach the
child seat in the rear seats. Child restraint symbols are located
on the outboard left and right rear
seat backs to indicate the position of
the lower anchors for child restraints.

WARNING- Child
restraint anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand
only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used
for adult seat belts or har-
nesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the
vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.
WARNING - Unused rear
seatbelts
Always fasten the seatbelts
behind the child restraint seat
when they are not used to
secure the child seat. Failure to
do so may result in child stran-
gulation.

WARNING
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illu-
minate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with
the occupant classification sys-
tem. If there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator will not illuminate and
the passenger's front air bag
will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is no occu-
pant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 sec-
onds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the occupant classification sys-
tem and the SRS air bag system
as soon as possible.
(Continued)
A smaller-stature adult in thefront passenger’ seat who is
not seated correctly (for exam-
ple: seat excessively reclined,
leaning on the door or center
console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a
condition where the occupant
classification system senses
less weight than if the occu-
pant were seated properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being mis-
classified and illumination of
the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indi-
cator.(Continued)
Do not use accessory seatcovers on the front seats.
Accident statistics show that children 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-fac-
ing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the
air bag immediately after
deployment.

They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations or collisions from the front
or rear of the vehicle.(Continued)
Do not allow the passengers
to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with
side and/or curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above
instructions can result in injury
or death to the vehicle occu-
pants in an accident.WARNING
In order for side and curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rear occu-
pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts
properly fastened. mportantly,
children should sit in a proper
child restraint system in the
rear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to put the child restraint
system as far away from the
door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint sys-
tem in a locked position.
