CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 16 o Since a safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check theseat cover and buckles before placing achild there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so thatit will not be thrown forward in the caseof a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should still sit in the rearseat and be restrained with the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. Never allowchildren to ride in the front passengerseat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoul-der, never across the neck or behindthe back. Moving the child closer to thecenter of the vehicle may help provide agood shoulder belt fit. The lap belt por-tion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-ter seat lap belt must always be posi-tioned as low as possible on the child'ships and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seatin order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
B230A03P-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrainedto minimize the risk of injury in an accident,sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat. Larger children should use oneof the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety re- straints for children. If small children ride inyour vehicle you must put them in a childrestraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat orinfant seat must be used. Before buying aparticular child restraint system, make sure itfits your car and seat belts, and fits your child.Follow all the instructions provided by themanufacturer when installing the child restraintsystem. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, itcould severely injure or kill an infant orchild seated in an infant or child seat.Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat of your vehicle.
ZB090Y1-A To Release the Seat Belt
B220C01FC
When you want to release the seat belt, press the button in the locking buckle. WARNING: The centre lap belt latching mechanism is different from those for the rear seat shoul-der belts. When fastening the rear seatshoulder belts or the centre lap belt, makesure they are inserted into the correctbuckle to obtain maximum protection fromthe seat belt system and assure properoperation.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 18 WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at
the rear centre seating position using the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIXanchors are only provided for the leftand right outboard rear seating posi-tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX an-chors by attempting to attach a childrestraint seat in the middle rear seatingposition to the ISOFIX anchors. In acrash, the child restraint seat ISOFIXattachments may not be strong enoughto secure the child restraint seat prop-erly in the centre seating position andmay break, causing serious injury ordeath.
o Do not mount more than one child re- straint to a child restraint lower anchor-age point. The improper increased loadmay cause the anchorage points ortether anchor to break, causing seriousinjury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child restraint seat only to the appropri-ate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the manufac-turer of the child restraint.
the lap portion of the belt is tight around thechild restraint system and the shoulder por-tion of the belt is positioned so that it cannotinterfere with the child's head or neck. Afterinstallation of the child restraint system, try tomove it in all directions to be sure the childrestraint system is securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When you un-buckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, theretractor will automatically revert back to itsnormal seated passenger emergency lockingusage condition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checkedimmediately by your authorized Hyundaidealer.
WARNING: Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an acci-dent occur and cause the passenger sideairbag to deploy, it could severely injure orkill an infant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a child re-straint system in the rear seat of yourvehicle. B230D01FC-EAT
Securing the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX" System (Not all models)
B230F01FC
Some child seat manufacturers make child restraint seats that are labeled as ISOFIX orISOFIX-compatible child restraint seats. Theseseats include two rigid or webbing mountedattachments that connect to two ISOFIX an-chors at specific seating positions in your ve-hicle. This type of child restraint seat elimi-nates the need to use seat belts to attach thechild seat for forward-facing child restraint seats. ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located inthe left and right outboard rear seating posi-tions. Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion. There is no ISOFIX anchor provided forthe centre rear seating position.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to makesure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedwith the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retrac- tor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehiclestops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to leanforward too quickly, the seat belt retractor willlock into position. However, in certain frontalcollisions, the pre-tensioner will activate andpull the seat belt into tighter contact againstthe occupant's body.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemen-
tal Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRSAIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad coverin the steering wheel and the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags in-
stalled under the pad covers in the centre ofthe steering wheel and the passenger's sidefront panel above the glove box. The purposeof the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driverand/or the front passenger with additionalprotection than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal impact ofsufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside ofthe sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supplemen- tal to, the driver's and the passenger'sthree point seat belt systems and is nota substitute for them. Therefore yourseat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. In addi-tion, the airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severe enoughto likely cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is suffi-ciently severe and when the impact angleis less than 30° from the forward longi-tudinal axis of the vehicle and will notdeploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only de-ploy once. Thus, seat belts must beworn at all times.

Side Impact RolloverB240C01FC
o Front airbags are not intended to de-
ploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbagswill not normally deploy in frontalcrashes below the deployment thresh-old speed.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includ-ing the driver should always wear theirseat belts whether or not an airbag isalso provided at their seating positionto minimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash. Do not sitor lean unnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in acrash. If an occupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat belt, theairbag may forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal injuries.
