NOTE: Small children are best protected in an accident when properly re- strained by a child restraint sys-tem. B150C02A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always oc- cupy the rear seat and use the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por- tion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible. Checkbelt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Chil- dren are afforded the most safety inthe event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint sys- tem in the rear seat. If a larger child(over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely restrained by the available lap/shoul-der belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Children un- der the age of 13 should be restrained

!WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts can'tdo their job when you're reclined. The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against yourbody. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it with great force, receiving seriousneck or other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up overyour abdomen. The belt forces would be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones.This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the ve-hicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your seat belt prop-erly. See page 1-34.

Whena seat belt is used, the lap belt portion should be placed as low and snugly as possible on the hips, not across theabdomen. For specific recommenda- tions, consult a physician. B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported.When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommenda- tions. B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt.This could increase the severity of injuries in case of an accident. B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraintsystem, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be in an upright position when the car ismoving.

When fastening the outboard seat belts or the center seat belt, make sure they are inserted into the cor-rect buckles to obtain maximum protection from the seat belt sys- tem and assure proper operation. B230A03P-GAT (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. 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 ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing thechild restraint system.
B220C01HP-E

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's side airbag to deploy, it could severely in-jure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat 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 asafety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of asudden stop or an accident.

B180B03HP-AAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (If Installed) Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre- tensioner seat belts. The purpose ofthe pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occupant's body in certain frontal col-lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, together with the airbags. HXG229
o Always follow the installation and
use instructions provided by themanufacturer of the child restraint.
!
1. To engage the child restraint seat tothe 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 tightento secure the seat. Refer to "Secur-ing a Child Restraint System with the Tether Anchorage System" on page 1-43.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the center of the rear seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX an- chors. The ISOFIX anchors areonly provided for the left and right outboard rear seating posi- tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIXanchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIXanchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX attachments may not be strong enough tosecure the child restraint seat properly in the center of the rear seat and may break, causing se- rious injury or death.
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” system to install a child restraintsystem in the rear seat, all unusedvehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt bucklesand the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reachingand taking hold of unretracted seat
belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child toreach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to thechild in the child restraint.
o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a child restraint loweranchorage point. The improper increased load may cause the an- chorage points or tether anchor tobreak, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com- patible child restraint seat onlyto the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.

2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operat- ing conditions and are not haz- ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed forprolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti- vated.
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
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 activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated alone or, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, to- gether with the airbags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. In certain frontal colli- sions, the pre-tensioner will activateand pull the seat belt into tighter con- tact against the occupant's body.
