SB090E1-E Injured Persons A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. For specific recom-mendations, the advice of a qualified MedicalPractioner should be sought.
WARNING: The folding rear seats are intended to allow the carriage of longer objects than couldotherwise be accommodated. Do not allowpassengers to sit on top of the folded-downseatback whilst the car is in motion since thefolded seat does not provide a suitable sittingfacility and no seat belts are available for use.Objects carried on the folded seatback shouldnot extend higher than the top of the frontseats and must be securely restrained toprevent injury or damage during sudden de-celeration.
SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONSSeat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. The possibility of injuryor the severity of injuries suffered in the event ofan accident will be greatly reduced by the wear-ing of seat belts.In addition the following recommendations shouldbe observed. SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system specifically designed forthis purpose. Under no circumstances should achild be carried in the vehicle without the use ofa suitable restraint which meets the regulationsin force in the country where the vehicle is inoperation. SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. The restraint may takethe form of a special safety belt or the originalfactory fitted seat belt used in conjunction with anapproved booster cushion depending upon thesize and weight of the child. Under no circum-stances should children be allowed to travelstanding, kneeling or lying on the seat.Never allow children to ride in the front passen-ger seat.SB090O1-E Pregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women.

SB090H1-E CARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt assemblies must never be disassembled or modified in any way. In addition, care shouldbe exercised to ensure that the belt assembliesdo not become damaged by being trapped in seatmechanisms, door shuts etc. SB090I-E 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. Under no circum-stances must any part of the seat belt assem-blies 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 mildsoap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye,strong detergents or abrasives should not beused since the fabric may become damaged andweakened.
SB090K1-E Replacement of Seat BeltsThe entire seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been in-volved in an accident even if no damage isevident. Additional questions concerning seatbelt operation should be directed to a HyundaiDealer. SB090O1-F FRONT SEATBELT PIVOT HEIGHT AD- JUSTMENT (Not all models)
attempt to adjust the height of the upper anchor- age point while the vehicle is moving.If you are any doubt as to the method of adjust-ment or the optimum height position for your frontseat belt always contact your nearest HyundaiDealer. WARNING:
o The height adjuster must be in the locked
position when the vehicle is moving.
o The misadjustment of height of the shoul- der belt could reduce the effectiveness ofthe seat belt in a crash.

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 seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rear seat of yourvehicle.
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, store it in the boot or fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop or anaccident.
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 or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center of thevehicle may help provide a good shoulderbelt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/

Driver's Airbag
B240A01GK-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)(Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of thesystem's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the ornament 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/or the front pas-senger with additional protection than that of-fered by the seat belt system alone, in case of afrontal impact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activatedin certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated aloneor, where the frontal collision is severeenough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac- tivated, a loud noise may be heard and finedust, which may appear to be smoke, maybe visible in the passenger compartment.These are normal operating conditionsand are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not bebreathed for prolonged periods. Wash yourhands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat beltswere activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat beltalso.
o If there is some function in the pre- tensioner seat belt circuit, the warninglight will illuminate even if there is nomalfunction in the SRS airbag system. Ifthe SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate or illuminates continuouslywhen the ignition key is turned to "ON", orif it remains illuminated after blinking forapproximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-nates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and orSRS airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. Allseat belts, of any type, should always bereplaced after they have been worn duringa collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activa-tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seatbelt assemblies for several minutes afterthey have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heedthe warnings to not strike, modify, in-spect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may leadto improper operation or inadvertent acti-vation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

o The driver should sit back as far as pos- sible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. 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 frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, 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.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS onthe labels provided on the backside of thesun visor and in the glove box. 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. In addition, the airbags deployonly in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle 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.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in which protection canbe provided by the seat belt alone.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollovercrashes. In addition, airbags will not de-ploy in frontal crashes below the deploy-ment threshold speed. 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 (teenagesand 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.
