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 ad-equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could re- sult in serious injury to the childin the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not providethe child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even if the person holding the child iswearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases.

WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy,it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When youunbuckle the seat belt and allow it toretract, the retractor will automaticallyrevert 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.
!
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoul-der/lap belt from its retractor. Install the child restraint system, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to takeup any slack. Make sure that the lapportion of the belt is tight around thechild 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 alldirections to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed.B230G01A-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 37
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing therisk of head or chest injury. HTB204
Passenger's Airbag
After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility. Passenger's Airbag
B240B05L
!CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accesso- ries (drink holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the front passenger'spanel above the glove box in a ve-hicle with passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerousprojectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates. CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panelpad surface. If there is any leakagefrom the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instru-ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq- uid from the air freshener does leakonto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.

WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions arenormal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generated during airbag deployment maycause skin irritation. Be sure towash your hands and face thor-oughly with lukewarm water anda mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.

o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adverselyaffect SRS performance and leadto possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affectthe airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, be-cause any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to causethe airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer. o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by render-ing the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag sys- tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa-tion. Failure to follow these pre- cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in-jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of theseimportant points and make cer- tain that this manual is trans- ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to startengine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to followthe earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station.Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstruc- tions. These can result in certain lis-tening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequency. Theselong, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into theatmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT STEREO SOUND SYSTEM How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad- cast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. Thissignal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures high quality reproduction. However, in somecases the signal coming to your ve- hicle is not strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distancefrom the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or otherlarge obstructions in the area.
