Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi-tion, airbags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box,because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to causethe airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com- ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraintsystem must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or childcould be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in caseof an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu- pants including the driver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi-tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in-juries.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 39
o Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impactairbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag andyourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may become dan-gerous projectiles and cause in-jury if the supplemental side im-pact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bagthat may result in personal in-jury, avoid impact to the sideairbag sensor when the ignitionkey is on.

B140A01B-GAT REAR SEAT WARNING
For the safety of all passengers, lug- gage or other cargo should not be piledhigher than the top of the seatback.
and no seat belts are available foruse when the seatback is foldeddown. Passengers who are notproperly seated and wearing seatbelts could sustain serious inju- ries or death in case of an accident or a sudden stop.
o Objects should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks.This could allow cargo to slideforward and cause injury or dam- age during sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seatback to its upright position, always be sure to install the head-rests in their proper positions.Headrests are important to the safety of occupants in a rear colli- sion. If the headrests are notinstalled in their proper position,serious injury or death could re-sult if a rear end collision occurs. SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS Seat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. Thepossibility of injury or the severity ofinjuries suffered in the event of anaccident will be greatly reduced by the wearing of seat belts. In addition the following recommenda-tions should be observed.
SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system spe-cifically designed for this purpose. Un-der no circumstances should a child be carried in the vehicle without the use of a suitable restraint which meets theregulations in force in the country wherethe vehicle is in operation.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 17
SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. Therestraint may take the form of a specialsafety belt or the original factory fittedseat belt used in conjunction with an approved booster cushion depending upon the size and weight of the child.Under no circumstances should chil-dren be allowed to travel standing, kneel-ing or lying on the seat.Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. SB090O1-E Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt shouldbe worn as low and snugly as possibleacross the hips, not across the abdo- men. A qualified Medical Practitioner should be consulted for further informa-tion. SB090E1-E Injured Persons A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. Forspecific recommendations, the adviceof a qualified Medical Practioner shouldbe sought. SB090F1-E Seat Belt Occupancy The seat belts are designed to be used by one seat occupant only. The use ofa seat belt by more than one personincreases the levels of injury which may be sustained in the event of an accident. SE090G1-E Do Not Lie Down To ensure that the maximum level of protection may be afforded by the seatbelt system, all passengers should be sitting in an upright position throughout the journey. The seat belt will be unableto afford maximum protection if thefront seats are at or near the fullyreclined position.SB090H1-E CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt assemblies must never be disassembled or modified in any way.In addition, care should be exercised toensure that the belt assemblies do notbecome damaged by being trapped in seat mechanisms, door shuts etc. SB090I-E Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or dam-age of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible. Under no circum-stances must any part of the seat beltassemblies be dismantled or repaired. SB090J1-E Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can be cleaned using a mild soap solution andwarm water.

B230A03A-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be prop-erly restrained to minimize the risk ofinjury in an accident, sudden stop orsudden manoeuvre. According to acci- dent statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seatsthan in the front seat. Larger childrenshould use one of the seat belts pro-vided.You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put themin a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraintsystem, make sure it fits your car andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the manu-facturer when installing the child re- straint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in- stall a child or infant seat on thefront passenger's seat.Should an accident occur andcause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated inan infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re- straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle,be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk orfasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in thecase of a sudden stop or an acci-dent.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in therear seat and be restrained withthe available lap/shoulder belts.

Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul- der belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positionedmidway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to the centre of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit.The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the centre seat lapbelt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit
the child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fitthe 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 aseatback; it may not provide ad-equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re- sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not providethe child with any means of pro-tection during an accident, 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 achild being seriously injured orkilled in a collision greatly in- creases.
B230G01L
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoul-der/lap belt from its retractor. Install the child restraint system, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take upany slack. Make sure that the lap por-tion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder por-tion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation of the child re-straint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed. B230G01A-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats
