Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been in-volved in an accident. This should be done evenif no damage is visible. Additional questionsconcerning seat belt operation should be direct-ed to your Hyundai Dealer.
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 yourstrong pelvic bones.This could cause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is inmotion, have the seatback upright. Then sitback in the seat and wear your seat beltproperly.

B230G01GK
On outboard rear seats
To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt from itsretractor. Install the child restraint system, bucklethe seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up anyslack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt istight around the child restraint system and theshoulder portion of the belt is positioned so thatit cannot interfere with the child's head or neck.After installation of the child restraint system, tryto 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.
shoulder belt must always be positionedas low as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends the use of anapproved 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 maynot 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.
o If the child restraint is not anchored prop- erly, the risk of a child being seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases. 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.

This enables a much more secure andpositive location with the added benefit of easierand quicker installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in accordance with therequirements of ECE-R44. For your Hyundai,the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo / RömerISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX / BritaxDuo ISOFIX is approved according to the re-quirement ECE-R44.

B240B01GK-GAT SRS Components and Functions The SRS consists of the following components: - Driver's Airbag Module - Passenger's 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 frontalor near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-quire airbag deployment. The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 secondsafter the ignition key is turned to the "ON" positionor after the engine is started, after which the SRIshould go out.
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.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If older children (teenag-ers and older) must ride in the front seat,make sure they are always properly beltedand that the seat is moved back as far aspossible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants including thedriver 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.
B240B01L
The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box. Whenthe SRSCM detects a considerable impact to thefront of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags. CAUTION: Do not install or place any accessories (drinkholder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on thefront passenger's panel above the glove boxin a vehicle with a passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerous projectilesand cause injury if the passenger's air baginflates.
B240B02L
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressurefrom the expansion of the airbags. Further open-ing of the covers then allows full inflation of theairbags.
