o Front airbags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi- tion, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed.
o Do not install a child restraint sys-tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, makesure they are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi- tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do- ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.

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 lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, be- cause any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system.
WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restrainton a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of theairbags or by rendering 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 beobserved. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa-tion. Failure to follow these pre- cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in-jury.

o When you return the folded down
seatback to its upright position, always be sure to install the head- rests in their proper positions. Head restraints are important tothe safety of occupants in a rear collision.

SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS Seat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. The possibility of injury or the severity ofinjuries suffered in the event of an accident will be greatly reduced by the wearing of seat belts.In addition the following recommenda- tions should be observed. SEAT BELTS
SB090O1-E Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt shouldbe worn as low and snugly as possible across the hips, not across the abdo- men. A qualified Medical Practitionershould be consulted for further informa- tion.
SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system spe- cifically designed for this purpose. Un- der no circumstances should a child becarried in the vehicle without the use of a suitable restraint which meets the regulations in force in the country wherethe vehicle is in operation. SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. The restraint may take the form of a specialsafety belt or the original factory fitted seat belt used in conjunction with an approved booster cushion dependingupon the size and weight of the child. Under no circumstances should chil- dren be allowed to travel standing, kneel-ing or lying on the seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.

B230A04P-EAT Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be prop-erly restrained to minimise the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to acci-dent statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger childrenshould use one of the seat belts pro- vided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and babies,a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manu- facturer when installing the child re-straint system.CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
!WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in- stall a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safetybelt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a suddenstop or an accident. o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should still sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to the centre of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/ shoulder belt or the centre seat lapbelt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the useof an approved booster seat in therear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
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 whilst they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re-sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases. B230F01A-EAT Installation on Rear Seat Centre Position Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. After installation of the child restraint system, rock the child seatback and forth, and side to side to ensure that it is properly secured by the seat belt.If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child restraint tether straphook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer’s recommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle.
B235G01FC
B230G01A-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats 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 seatbelt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap por- tion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder por- tion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head orneck. After installation of the child re- straint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed.
