B230A03P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints 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 and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger's side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/ shoulder belt or the center seat lap belt must always be positioned as low as pos- sible on the child's hips and as snug as possible. o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear 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 adequate security in an acci- dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an acci- dent, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being seri- ously injured or killed in a collision greatly increases.

B230F01A-GAT Installation on Center Rear Seat Use the center seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. After instal- lation of the child restraint system, rock the child seat back 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 strap hook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint system manufacturer's recommendation before install- ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.
B230G01A-GAT Installation on the Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system on the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. Buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child re- straint system and the shoulder portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions 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 normal seated passenger emergency locking usage condition.

NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by thechild restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme- diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING: Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger's side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child restraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.

B230B02A-AAT Using a Child Restraint System With "Tether Anchorage" System For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required. This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is further re- quired that the seat be placed in the vehicle's rear seat since this can make an important contribu- tion to safety. Your vehicle is provided with three child restraint hook holders for installing the child seat or infant seat.

B230D03E-GAT Securing a Child Restraint System with "ISOFIX" System and "Tether Anchor-age" System ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the stan- dard 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 installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in accordance with the requirements of ECE-R44. For your Hyundai, the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo / Römer ISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved according to the re- quirement ECE-R44. This seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai and is recommended for your Hyundai. NOTE: At present, this seat is the only one comply- ing with that provision. In case that other manufacturers will furnish proof of a respec- tive certification, Hyundai is going to evalu- ate this seat carefully and will give a recom- mendation provided that seat complies to the law. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in this respect. On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located a pair of ISOFIX anchorage points together with a top tether mount- ing on the luggage compartment. During the installing, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you can hear it click- ing (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point in the luggage-compartment. 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.
B230D02HP-E
NOTE: An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed if the seat has a vehicle-specific approval ac- cording to ECE-R44. Before using the ISOFIX- child-seat, which was bought for another car, ask your Hyundai-dealer whether this seat- type is approved and recommended for your Hyundai. 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 audible "click" sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child
restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Refer to "Securing a Child Restraint
System with the Tether Anchorage System" on page 1-25.

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the
center of the rear seat using the vehicle'sISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left and right out- board rear seating positions. Do not mis- use 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 center of the rear seat and may break, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re-
straint to a child restraint lower anchor- age point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible
child restraint seat only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint.

The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occu- pant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occu- pant 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.

WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa- tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, insp- ect, replace, service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent acti- vation and serious injury.

WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pre- tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position. NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac- tivated, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci- dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensionerseat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for ap- proximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not working
properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON" or if it remains illumi-

NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
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° from the 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.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in light collisions in which protection can be provided by the seat belt alone.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.
B240A02Y-AAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the
system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas- senger with additional protection than that of- fered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

Side impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not de- ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.
o The driver should sit back as far as possi-
ble while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passen- ger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident. Do not allow children to ride in the front passen- ger seat. If older children (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure 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 occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion. B240B02A-AAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to re- quire airbag deployment. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out.

may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately. WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a
loud noise and fine dust will be releasedthrough the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generated during airbag de- ployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your hands and face thoroughly with luke- warm water and a mild soap after an acci- dent in which the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the igni- tion key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 sec- onds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS
Passenger's Airbag
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further open- ing of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop- erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
B240B01HP
CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air fresh- ener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (Instrument cluster, instrument panel or air ventilator), it B240C01HP-GAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service by yourself.

WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system. o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passen- ger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
o A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that
this manual is transferred to the new owner. o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper
guard with the one other than the Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise, it can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to unex- pected injury.
