WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position after being folded
down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. Do not allow the
seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.
Ensure that the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sudden
stop, the seat could fold down and
allow cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember to
return the rear shoulder belts to their
proper position.
• Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the seat belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
Intelligent variable transmission is in P
(Park) or the Manual transmission is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking brake
is securely applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.

WARNING
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident.Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:
• Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it
fits snugly.This allows your strong
pelvic bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the chance of
internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.
• Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.
OHSS038102OHSS038102
WARNING
You should place the lap belt portion
as low as possible and snugly across
your hips, not on your waist. If the lap
belt is located too high on your waist, it
may increase the chance of injury in the
event of a collision. Both arms should
not be under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the other
under, as shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
OIB034039OIB034039
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts (retractor pre-tensioner).The
purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant’s body in certain frontal or
side collision(s). The pre-tensioner seat
belts may be activated in crashes where
the frontal or side collision(s) is severe
enough, together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant’s body.
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the belt
webbing is not loose or twisted and
always sit properly on your seat.

WARNING
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 forcefully 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 during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and throw
the child against the car’s interior.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
causing serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle - not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious injuries
to children inside. Even very young
children may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock themselves or
others inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.• Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. 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.
• Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard 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 provide
adequate security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
• After an accident, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If there is not enough space to place
the child restraint system because
of the driver’s seat, install the child
restraint system in the rear right seat.

3. Buckle the seat belt and allow the
seat belt to take up any slack. 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.

WARNING
• Do not install or place any
accessories (drink holder, cassette
holder, sticker, etc.) on the front
passenger’s panel above the glove
box in a vehicle with a passenger’s
air bag. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger’s air bag
inflates.
• 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.
WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are
not hazardous - the air bags are
packed in this fine powder. The dust
generated during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irritation as
well as aggravate asthma 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.
• 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.

WARNING
• In order for side impact and
curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belts properly fastened.
Importantly, 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 system in a locked position.
• Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects. In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury.
• 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.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain
air bags.
• Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain air
bag system. We recommend that the
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to follow the above mentioned
instructions can result in injury or death
to the vehicle occupants in an accident.Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-inflation
conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional
protection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.
