1. Route the Child Restraint System
top-tether strap over the seatback.
Placing the top tether strap, please
follow the instructions of the Child
Restraint System's manufacturer.
2. Connect the top-tether strap to the
top-tether anchorage, then tighten
the top-tether strap according to the
instructions of your Child Restraint
System's manufacturer to firmly
attach the Child Restraint System to
the seat.
Securing a Child Restraint
System with a lap/shoulder belt
When not using the ISOFIX system,
all Child Restraint Systems must be
secured to a rear seat with the lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt. Take the following precautions
when installing the top-tether:
Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with
your Child Restraint System.
NEVER attach more than one
Child Restraint System to a
single ISOFIX top-tether
anchorage. This could cause
the anchorage or attachment
to come loose or break.
Do not attach the top-tether to
anything other than the cor-
rect top-tether anchorage. It
may not work properly if
attached to something else.
Child restraint anchorages
are designed to withstand
only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted Child
restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment
to the vehicle.
WARNING
ALWAYS place a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
Placing a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat can
result in serious injury or death
if the child restraint is struck by
an inflating air bag.
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
The vehicles are equipped with a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s
seats.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision.
In some accidents, the seat belts are
the only restraint protecting you.AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts Child Restraint Systems - every trip, every
time, everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if you are improperly restrained or not wearing
your seat.
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint System or booster seat in
the front passenger seat.
An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing
serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centred on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or centre console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front
air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel, in the driver’s side lower
crash pad below the steering wheel,
and the passenger's side front panel
pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labelled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
ger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from inflating front
air bags, take the following pre-
cautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
whilst still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or
centre console.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs on
the instrument panel.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations. (Continued)
No objects (such as crash pad
cover, mobile phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, windscreen glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
Do not attach any objects on
the front windscreen and inside
mirror.

How does the air bag system
operate?
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module/
Driver’s knee air bag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module
(3) Side air bag modules/
Side impact sensors
(4) Curtain air bag modules
(5) Retractor pre-tensioner assem-
blies
(6) Air bag warning light
(7) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(8) Front impact sensors
(9) Side pressure sensorsThe SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration. The
system checks the air bag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light indi-
cates that there is a potential problem
with your air bag system.OPD037063AU
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
What to expect after an air bag
inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates,
it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windscreen or
being able to steer. Curtain air bags
may remain partially inflated for
some time after they deploy. To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD hold-
er, stickers, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box where the passen-
ger's air bag is located.
Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take
the following precautions:
Open your windows and doors
as soon as possible after
impact to reduce prolonged
exposure to the smoke and
powder released by the inflat-
ing air bag.
Do not touch the air bag stor-
age area’s internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated. The parts
that come into contact with an
inflating air bag may be very
hot.
Always wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly with cold
water and mild soap.
We recommend that an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer replace
the air bag immediately after
deployment. Air bags are
designed to be used only once.
WARNING

Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and may produce smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing
because of the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If
you experience breathing problems
after an air bag deployment, seek
medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this
is the case, wash and rinse with cold
water immediately and seek medical
attention if the symptoms persist.
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat
Never install a Child Restraint System
in the front passenger seat.

Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
NEVER use a rearward facing
Child Restraint System on a
seat protected by an AIRBAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Never put a Child Restraint
System in the front passen-
ger’s seat. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING

2-56
Safety system of your vehicle
Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision?
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adverse-
ly affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.
Place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be immediately inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend any work on the SRS
system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel,
front seats and roof rails be performed
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury.
OPD036058
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death take the follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, and the front passenger's
panel above the glove box.
Clean the air bag pad covers
with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
We recommend that inflated
air bags be replaced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions must
be observed. Consult an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer for the
necess
ary information. Failure
to follow these precautions
could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
