Head restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:

[Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.

[NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.

[
ODN8039067L
Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraints is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.

[NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.

[Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.

[Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraint to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraint can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.

Safety system
Seat warmers (if equipped)
Seat warmers are provided to warm the
seats during cold weather.
WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS
BURN, even at low temperatures and
especially if used for long periods of
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the
seat is becoming too warm so they can
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:

[Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.

[People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.

[Fatigued individuals.

[Intoxicated individuals.

[People taking medication that can
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when the
seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seat warmers
and seats:

[Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or petrol to
clean the seats.

[Do not place heavy or sharp objects
on seats equipped with seat
warmers.

[Do not change the seat cover. It
may damage the seat warmer or air
ventilation system.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip.
Air bags (if equipped) are designed
to supplement the seat belt as an
additional safety device, but they are
not a substitute. Most countries require
all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

[ALWAYS properly restrain children
under age 13 in the rear seats.

[NEVER allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If a child age 13
or older must be seated in the front
seat, move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain them
in the seat.

[NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.

[NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.

[Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.

[Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.

[Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.

[Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.
[Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.

[NEVER unfasten the seat belt
whilst driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat belt
latch mechanism. This may prevent
the seat belt from fastening securely.

[No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack. WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:

[Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.

[Damaged hardware.

[The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.

Safety system
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems laws which require children
to travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can be
used instead of Child Restraint Systems
differs among countries, so you should
be aware of the specific requirements
in your country, and where you are
travelling. Infant and Child Restraint
Systems must be properly placed and
installed in a rear seat. For more details,
refer to the “Child Restraint Systems” in
this chapter.
WARNING
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 vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will
tear off the child from your arms and
throw the child against the interior of the
vehicle.
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 shoulder 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 rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
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.
WARNING

[Always make sure larger children’s
seat belts are worn and properly
adjusted.

[NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.

[Do not allow more than one child to
use a single seat belt.

Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific
recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of injuries
in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts
and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. During
an accident, you could be twined with
the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.
WARNING

[NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.

[Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.

[Driver and passengers should always
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks
upright.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addition,
care should be taken to assure that
seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or other
abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible. We recommend that you
consult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Child Restraint System (CRS) always
in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rearward-
facing or forward-facing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the rear
seat of the vehicle. Read and comply
with the instructions for installation and
use provided by the manufacturer of the
Child Restraint System.
WARNING

[Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.

[Always properly restrain your child in
the Child Restraint System.

[Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over
a seatback, it may not provide
adequate protection in an accident.

[After an accident, we recommend
a HYUNDAI dealer check the Child
Restraint System, seat belts,
ISOFIX anchorages and top-tether
anchorages.
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:

[Make sure a CRS has a label certifying
that it meets applicable Safety
Standards of your country.

[Select a CRS based on your child’s
height and weight. The required label
or the instructions for use typically
provide this information.

[Select a CRS that fits the vehicle
seating position where it will be used.

[Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with a CRS.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing
seats, forward-facing seats, and booster
seats. They are classified according to
the child’s age, height and weight.

3-32
Safety system
CRS09
Rearward-facing Child Restraint
System
A rearward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint with the
seating surface against the back of the
child. The harness system holds the
child in place, and in an accident, acts
to keep the child positioned in the Child
Restraint Systems and reduce the stress
to the fragile neck and spinal cord.
All children under the age of one
year must always ride in a rearward-
facing Child Restraint System. There
are different types of rearward-facing
Child Restraint Systems: infant-only
Child Restraint Systems can only be
used rearward-facing. Convertible
and 3-in-1 Child Restraint Systems
typically have higher height and weight
limits for the rearward-facing position
system, allowing you to keep your child
rearward-facing for a longer period of
time.
Keep using Child Restraint Systems in
the rearward-facing position as long as
children fit within the height and weight
limits allowed by the Child Restraint
System’s manufacturer.
OIB034017
Forward-facing Child Restraint
System
A forward-facing Child Restraint System
provides restraint for the child’s body
with a harness. Keep children in a
forward-facing Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top
height or weight limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing Child Restraint System, your child
is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is Child Restraint System
designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster
seat positions the seat belt so that it fits
properly over your child’s stronger body
parts. Keep your children in booster
seats until they are big enough to fit in a
seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie comfortable across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder
belt should lie comfortable across the
shoulder and chest and not across the
neck or face. Children under age 13
must always be properly restrained to
minimise the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.
