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.

1- 22 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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.

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

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal colli-sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts canbe activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or ifthe occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tightercontact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in theillustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module HTB198-D

o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated underthese conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which mayappear to be smoke, may be vis- ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazard-ous.
