ate as described in this sec-
tion, we recommend that the
system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• Failure to observe this manu-
al's instructions regarding
child restraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or

3. Buckle the seat belt and allow the
seat belt to take up any slack. After
installation of the child restraint
system, try to move it in all direc-
tions to be sure the child restraint
system is securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull
more webbing toward the retractor.
When you unbuckle the seat belt and
allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its nor-
mal seated passenger emergency
locking usage condition.

Securing a child restraint seat
with “Tether Anchor” system
(if equipped)
Child restraint hook holders are
located on the rear of the seat back.1. Route the child restraint seat teth-
er strap over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head
restraints, route the tether strap
under the head restraint and
between the head restraint posts,
otherwise route the tether strap
over the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the appropriate child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure
the seat.
ODM032036
ODM032037
WARNING- Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor or to a single lower
anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats
may cause the tether or anchor-
age points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the
child restraint is not properly
anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.

Securing a child restraint system
with “ISOFIX” system and “Tether
Anchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of
fitting child seats that eliminates the
need to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installa-
tion.
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific approval in
accordance with the requirements of
ECE-R44.There are ISOFIX symbols located
on the lower portion of each side of
the rear seatbacks. These symbols
indicate the position of the lower
anchors for child restraints so
equipped.
WARNING - Child
restraint check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING - Child
restraint anchorage
• 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 or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.

Safety features of your vehicle
Both rear outboard seats are
equipped with a pair of ISOFIX
anchorages as well as a correspon-
ding top tether anchorage on the
back side of the back rest. The
ISOFIX anchorages are located
between seat cushion and back rest,
marked with the ISOFIX icon.
For installation, CRS ISOFIX con-
necters have to engage with the
vehicles ISOFIX anchorages (listen
for a CLICK, check potential visual
indicators on the CRS and cross-
check by pulling).CRS with universal approval to ECE-
R 44 need to be fixed additionally
with a top tether strap connected to
the corresponding top tether anchor-
age point in the back rest.
The installing and the use of a child-
seat has to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is added to
the ISOFIX-seat.
ODM032038WARNING
Install the child restraint seat
fully rearward against the seat-
back with the seatback reclined
two positions from the most
upright latched position.
WARNING
• When using the vehicle's
"ISOFIX" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched
securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt web-
bing must be retracted behind
the child restraint to prevent
the child from reaching and
taking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unre-
tracted seat belts which may
result in strangulation and a
serious injury or death to the
child in the child restraint.
• Do not place anything around
the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.

To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seat
to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the
child restraint seat latch into the
ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audi-
ble “click” sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the child restraint hook holder and
tighten to secure the seat. (Refer
to the previous page.)(Continued)
• Do not mount more than one
child restraint to a child
restraint lower anchorage
point. The improper increased
load may cause the anchor-
age points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injury
or death.
• Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child restraint
seat only to the appropriate
locations shown in the illus-
tration.
• Always follow the installation
and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.WARNING
• Do not install a child restraint
seat at the centre of the rear
seat using the vehicle's
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for
the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Do not
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle of
the rear seat to the ISOFIX
anchors.
In a crash, the child restraint
seat ISOFIX attachments may
not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint seat
properly in the centre of the
rear seat and may break,
causing serious injury or
death.
(Continued)
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt
webbing to get scratched or
pinched by the ISOFIX-seat
latch and ISOFIX anchor during
installation.

How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of serious frontal or side col-
lision (if equipped with side impact
air bag or curtain air bag) in order
to help protect the occupants from
serious physical injury.
✽NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
Also, the air bags inflate instantly in
the event of a rollover (if equipped
with a side airbag or curtain air bag)
in order to help protect the occu-
pants from serious physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing, factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.
• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
• In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which a
collision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu-
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary part
of air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.
• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering wheel.
(Continued)
• Keep the SRS parts and
wirings away from water or
any liquid. If the SRS compo-
nents are inoperative due to
exposure to water or liquids, it
may cause fire or severe
injury.
