When fastening the rear seat shoul-der belts or the centre lap belt, make surethey are inserted into the correct buckle toobtain maximum protection from the seatbelt system and assure proper operation. B230A02P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Not all models) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seats than in the frontseat. Larger children should use one of the seatbelts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Followall the instructions provided by the manufac-turer when installing the child restraint system. WARNING:
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 side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle. o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case ofa sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center ofthe vehicle may help provide a goodshoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt or the center seatlap belt must always be positioned aslow as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of an ap-proved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.

On outboard rear seats
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 tothe child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt. portion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder portion of thebelt is positioned so that it cannot interfere withthe child's head or neck. After installation of thechild restraint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraint systemis securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web-
bing toward the retractor. When you unbucklethe seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractorwill automatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys- tem, read the instructions supplied bythe child 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 acci- dent occur and cause the passenger sideairbag to deploy, it could severely injure orkill an infant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a child re-straint system in the rear seat of your ve-hicle.

1-12 NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside ofthe sun visor and in the glove box. WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three pointseat belt systems and is not a substitutefor them. Therefore your seat belts mustbe worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. In addition, the airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to likely cause significantinjury to the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently se-vere and when the impact angle is lessthan 30° from the forward longitudinalaxis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Additional-ly, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
B240A02F-EAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications ofthe system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag pad cover in thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the centre of thesteering wheel and the passenger's side frontpanel above the glove box. The purpose of theSRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protection thanthat offered by the seat-belt system alone, incase of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

B180B01X-GAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (Not all models) Ordinarily the pre-tensioner seat belt operates
in the same way as E.L.R (Emergency Locking Retractor) type (When vehicles stop suddenly,
the belt will lock into the position. It will alsolock if you try to lean forward too quickly.).
However, when vehicles crash, the retractorrewinds the belt webbing. This will restrain thepassenger movement quickly and also reducethe slack between passenger and belt webbing.
NOTE:
o When the pre-tensioner seat belt is acti- vated, there may be an explosion noise.This noise is normal and is not hazard-ous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is designed to operate only when a sufficiently severeimpact occurs and it will be only operat-ed once.
WARNING: If the pre-tensioner seat belt was activated,
never attempt to replace it by yourself. It must be replaced by an authorized HyundaiDealer.

Rear impact
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 For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants includingthe driver should always wear their seatbelts whether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating position to min-imize the risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbag whilethe vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. Ifan occupant is out of position because ofnot wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries. B240B01X-EAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Side Airbag Module - 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 require airbag deployment.
FUA1111B The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on
the instrument panel will blink for about 6 sec- onds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after
which the SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both in the
centre of the steering wheel. When the SRSCMdetects a considerable impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.

1-14 B240C01X-EAT SRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can safely service byyourself. The entire SRS system must be in-spected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10years after the date that the car was manufac-ture. Any work on the airbag system, such as remov- ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali-fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the airbag system may result in serious personal injury. WARNING:
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad cover or modifica-tions to the body structure, can adverse-ly affect SRS performance and lead topossible injury.
o For cleaning the horn pad, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has beenmoistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbagcover and proper deployment of the sys-tem.
o No objects should be placed over or near the label identifying the airbag on thesteering wheel and instrument panel,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be
a loud noise and fine dust will be re- leased through out the vehicle. Theseconditions are normal and are not haz-ardous. However, the fine dust generat-ed during airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm wa-ter and a mild soap after an accident inwhich the airbags were deployed.
o The SRS can function only when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If theSRS SRI does not come on, or continu-ously remains on, after flashing for about6 seconds when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, or after the engineis started, or comes on while driving, theSRS is not working properly. If this oc-curs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key tothe "LOCK" position or remove the igni-tion key. Never remove or replace the airbag related fuse(s) when the ignition keyis in the "ON" position. Failure to heedthis warning will cause the SRS SRI toilluminate.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pres-sure from the expansion of the airbags. Furtheropening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a
properly worn seat belt slows the driver's for-ward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
CAUTION: When installing a container of liquid air
fresherer inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the in-strument panel pad surface. If there is anyleakage from the air fresherer onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage theseparts. If the liquid from the air freshererdoes leak onto these areas, wash them withwater immediately.

o If the airbag inflate, it must be replaced
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 airbag orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failure tofollow these precautions and procedurescould increase the risk of personal inju-ry.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner of these important pointsand make certain that this manual istransferred to the new owner togetherwith the vehicle.
o If your vehicle was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring,you shouldn't try to start engine; havethe car towed to authorized Hyundaidealer.
