FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1- 8 WARNING: Sitting in a reclined position or lying downwhen your vehicle is in motion can be dan-gerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat beltscan't do their job when you're reclined.The shoulder belt can't do its job because itwon't be against your body. Instead, it will bein front of you. In a crash you could go into itwith great force, receiving serious neck orother injuries.The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crashthe belt could go up over your abdomen. Thebelt forces would be applied there, not at yourpelvic bones.This could cause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is inmotion, have the seatback upright. Then sitwell back in the seat and wear your seat beltproperly. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any kind.Parts of the system that are damaged should bereplaced as soon as possible.
B160A01S-GAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken toassure that seat belts and belt hardware are notdamaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is neces-sary, you should consult a physician for recom-mendations. B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This couldincrease the severity of injuries in case of anaccident. B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident, and to achieve maximum effective-ness of the restraint system, all passengersshould be sitting up and the front seats should bein an upright position when the car is moving. Aseat belt cannot operate properly if the person islying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is ina reclined position.
B150D01A-AAT Pregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury inan accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap beltportion should be placed as low and snugly aspossible on the hips, not across the abdomen.For specific recommendations, consult a physi-cian.
The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in
an accident will be decreased if this elementarysafety precaution is observed. In addition, thefollowing recommendations are made: B150B01A-GAT Infant or Small Child Some countries require the use of child restraint systems for infants and small children. Whetherthis is required by law or not, it is stronglyrecommended that a child restraint seat or infantrestraint system be used for infants or smallchildren weighing less than 18 kilograms (40pounds). B150C01A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child restraint systems should occupy the
rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. The lap portionshould be fastened snug on the hips and as lowas possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child'ssquirming could move the belt out of position.If the larger child (over age 13) is in the front seat,the child should be securely restrained by theseat belt. Under no circumstances should thechild be allowed to stand or kneel on the seat.Children are afforded the most safety in the eventof an accident when they are restrained by aproper restraint system in the rear seat. Never
allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.

YR10311B
You should place the belt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist. If located too high onyour body, the chances of sliding out from underit and suffering serious injury or death are in-creased. Both arms should not be under or overthe belt. Rather, one should be over and the otherunder, as shown in the illustration.
B210A01A-AAT To Release the Seat Belt
YR10321B
The seat belt is released by pressing the release button in the locking buckle. When it is released,the belt should automatically draw back into theretractor.If this does not happen, check the belt to be sureit is not twisted, then try again.

1- 12 After installation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the childrestraint system is securely installed.If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbingtoward the retractor. When you unbuckle theseat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor willautomatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger 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 thefront passenger seat. Should an accidentoccur and cause the passenger side airbagto deploy, it could severely injure or kill aninfant or child seated in an infant or childseat. Therefore, only use a child restraintsystem 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 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 of asudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and berestrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger 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. Moving the childcloser to the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. The lapbelt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or thecenter seat lap belt must always be posi-tioned as low as possible on the child'ships and as 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 height sothat 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, asthis could result in serious injury to thechild 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.

B240A03F-AAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If installed)
AS10356A
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of thesystem's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG"embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel padabove the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front panel abovethe glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and the front passen-ger with additional protection when used to-gether with the seat belt, in case of a frontalimpact. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS onthe labels provided on the backside of thesun visor and in the glove box.
B180B01X-GAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (If installed)Ordinarily the pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as E.L.R (Emergency LockingRetractor) 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 hazardous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is designed to op- erate only when a sufficiently severe im-pact occurs and it will be only operatedonce.
WARNING:If the pre-tensioner seat belt was activated,never attempt to replace it by yourself. It mustbe replaced by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.

1- 14 B240B03A-AAT SRS Components and Functions
o For maximum safety protection in all types
of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is also providedat their seating position to minimize therisk of severe injury or death in the eventof a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the vehicle is inmotion.
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.
B240C01X
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, thedriver'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. The airbags deploy only in certainfrontal impact conditions severe enoughto likely cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is less than 30°from the forward longitudinal axis of thevehicle and will not deploy in side, rear orrollover impacts. Additionally, the airbagswill only deploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
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 The driver should sit back as far as possi- ble while still maintaining control of thevehicle. If you are sitting too close to theairbag, it can cause death or serious injurywhen 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, becauseany such object could cause harm if thevehicle is in a crash severe enough tocause 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 SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat position. A childrestraint system must never be placed inthe front seat. The infant or child could beseverely injured or killed by an airbagdeployment in case of an accident.Do not allow children to ride in the frontpassenger seat. If also children(teenagersand older) must ride in the front seat,make sure they are always properly beltedand that the seat is moved back as far aspossible.FUA1111B
