B230A03A-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be prop-erly restrained to minimize the risk ofinjury in an accident, sudden stop orsudden manoeuvre. According to acci- dent statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seatsthan in the front seat. Larger childrenshould use one of the seat belts pro-vided.You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put themin a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraintsystem, make sure it fits your car andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the manu-facturer when installing the child re- straint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in- stall a child or infant seat on thefront passenger's seat.Should an accident occur andcause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated inan infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re- straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle,be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk orfasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in thecase of a sudden stop or an acci-dent.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in therear seat and be restrained withthe available lap/shoulder belts.

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
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 theoccupant's body in certain frontal colli-sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts canbe activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or ifthe occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tightercontact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in theillustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly

2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
!
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated underthese conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which mayappear to be smoke, may be vis- ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazard-ous.

1- 28 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motorvehicle.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected withthe pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRSairbag warning light on theinstrument panel will blink forapproximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position and then it shouldturn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if itremains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if WARNING:

tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe back 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, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likely causesignificant injury to the vehicleoccupants. 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° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy inside, 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 to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,airbags will not normally deployin frontal crashes below the de-ployment threshold speed.

B990B04Y-EAT Side Impact Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact airbag in each front seat. Thepurpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passen- ger with additional protection than thatoffered by the seat belt alone. The sideimpact airbags are designed to deployonly during certain side impact colli-sions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The air bags are not designed to deploy in allside impact situations.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel padsurface. If there is any leakage fromthe air freshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these ar-eas, wash them with water immedi-ately.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor-mal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated dur-ing airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in whichthe airbags were deployed. o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for about 6 sec- onds when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comeson while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
