WARNING:
o 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.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat,
even when it is not in use. During a
collision or sudden stop, the child seat
could be thrown inside the vehicle.

cated on the seatback behind the rear

B230B01E-AATUsing a Child Restraint SystemFor small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of appro-
priate size for the child and should be
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat since this can make an
important contribution to safety. Your ve-
hicle is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat or
infant seat.

WARNING:
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.
!
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the lower anchors at the center posi-
tion of the rear seat. In a crash, the
LATCH anchors may break if a car
seat is improperly placed in the cen-
ter position resulting in serious or
fatal injuries. Only place a LATCH or
LATCH-compatible child seat in the
left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropri-
ate LATCH anchors provided.
B230D03CM-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "LATCH" systemSome child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-
compatible child seats. These seats in-
clude two rigid or webbing mounted at-
tachments that connect to two lower an-
chors at specific seating positions in your
vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates
the need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat; the tether strap must also be attached
to the proper tether anchor point. For infor-
mation on using tether straps, refer to “In-
stalling a Child Restraint Seat with the
“Tether Anchorage” system”.
OCM051007L
LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are lo-
cated in the left and right outboard 2nd rear
seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no lower anchor provided for
the center rear seating position.

Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with
driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner
is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in certain fron-
tal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air bags.B180B01CM-AATPre-tensioner Seat Belt
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

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.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af-
fected seat belt.

changes to the vehicle magnets. Items
such as installing a ski rack or a CB an-
tenna or even some body repair work on
the vehicle can cause changes to the
vehicle's magnetic field. In these situa-
tions, the compass will need to be re-
calibrated to quickly correct for these
changes. To re-calibrate the compass:

1. For first-time programming, press and
hold the two outside buttons, HomeLink
®
Channel 1 and Channel 3 Buttons, until
the indicator light begins to flash (after
20 seconds). Release both buttons. Do
not hold the buttons for longer than 30
seconds.
2. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from
the HomeLink
® buttons while keeping
the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the HomeLink® and hand-held trans-
mitter button. DO NOT release the but-
tons until step 4 has been completed.

red Indicator Status LED will flash slowly
and then rapidly after HomeLink
® suc-
cessfully trains to the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons.5. Press and hold the just-trained

HomeLink
® buttons, follow steps 2
through 5.
Rolling Code Programming
Rolling code devices which are "code-
protected" and manufactured after 1996
may be determined by the following:
o Reference the device owner's manual
for verification.
o The handheld transmitter appears to
program the HomeLink Universal Trans-
ceiver but does not activate the device.
o Press and hold the trained HomeLink
button. The device has the rolling code
feature if the indicator light flashes rap-
idly and then turns solid after 2 seconds.
To train rolling code devices, follow these
instructions:1. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "learn" or "smart" button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit. Exact location and color of
the button may vary by garage door
opener brand. If there is difficulty locat-
ing the training button, reference the
device owner's manual or please visit
our Web site at www.homelink.com.
2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button (which activates the "train-
ing light").
NOTE:There are 30 seconds in which to initiate
step3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for two seconds and then release
the desired HomeLink
® button. Repeat
the "press/hold/release" sequence a
second time to complete the program-
ming. (Some devices may require you
to repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.)

C190C02Y-AATTrailer BrakesIf your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to federal
and/or local regulations and that it is prop-
erly installed and operating correctly.NOTE:If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance due
to the additional load. See Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions" on
page 5-6.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades
(in excess of 6%) pay close attention
to the engine coolant temperature
gauge to ensure the engine does not
overheat. If the needle of the coolant
temperature gauge moves across the
dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and
stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and
allow the engine to idle until it cools
down. You may proceed once the
engine has cooled sufficiently.
!
C190D01S-AATSafety ChainsShould the hitch connection between your
vehicle and the trailer or vehicle you are
towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could
wander dangerously across other lanes of
traffic and ultimately leave the roadway. To
eliminate this potentially dangerous situa-
tion, safety chains, attached between your
car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are
required in most states.
C190B01S-AATTrailer HitchesSelect the proper hitch and ball combina-
tion, making sure that its location is com-
patible with that of the trailer or vehicle
being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which
distributes the tongue load uniformly
throughout the chassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the
car and installed by a qualified technician.
DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR
TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AND
NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES
ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
