B150C03A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The
lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips
and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodi-
cally. A child's squirming could put the belt out
of position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must
be seated in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the available lap/shoul-
der belt and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children under the age of 13
should be restrained securely in the rear seat.
Never place a child under the age of 13 in the
front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.

You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum
comfort and safty.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder portion
should be adjusted so that it lies across your
chest and midway over your shoulder nearest
the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an appro-
priate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull
it up. To lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster to make
sure that it has locked into the position.

Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a combination re-
tractor is also installed in the front passenger
seat position, Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the
rear seat rear seatrear seat rear seat
rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in the
front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features of
both an emergency locking retractor seat belt
and an automatic locking retractor seat belt. To
fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There
will be an audible "click" when the tab locks intothe buckle. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as the
driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the instal-
lation of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend. (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-18.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMCHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats
must be properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commercially avail-
able child restraint system that meets the re-
quirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.

If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web-
bing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle
the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor
will automatically revert back to its normal
seated passenger Emergency Locking usage
condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem in any seating position, read the
instructions supplied by the child re-
straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai deal-
er.
WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in
an infant or child seat. Therefore, only
use a child restraint system in the rear
seat of your vehicle.

Three child restraint hook holders are located

To install a child restraint seat, remove the
blanking covers on the covering shelf.
Connect the child restraint tether strap hook to
the child restraint hook holder through the hole
on the covering shelf.
To install a child restraint system in the rear
seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will
engage the seat belt retractor automatic lock-
ing feature, which allows the seat belt to retract
but not extend. Install the child restraint sys-
tem, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt
to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap
portion of the belt is tight around the child
restraint system and the shoulder portion of the
belt is positioned so that it can not interfere with
the child's head or neck. Also, double check to
be sure that the retractor has engaged the
Automatic Locking feature by trying to extend
webbing out of the retractor. If the retractor is in
the Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be
locked. After installation of the child restraint
system, try to move it in all directions to be sure

WARNING:o Do not install a child safety seat at the
center of the rear seat using the vehicle's
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are
only provided for the left and right out-
board rear seating positions. Do not mis-
use the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to
attach a child sefety seat in the middle of
the rear seat position to the ISOFIX an-
chors. In a crash, the child seat ISOFIX
attachments may not be strong enough
to secure the child restraint seat prop-
erly in the center of the rear seat and may
break, causing serious injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a child
restraint lower anchorage point. The im-
proper increased load may cause the
anchorage points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible
child seat only to the appropriate loca-
tions shown.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufac-
turer of the child restraint.
B230D03E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX" System
B230F01E
Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats include
two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that
connect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific
seating positions in your vehicle. This type of
child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat for forward-facing child
seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for the
center rear seating position.
The ISOFIX anchors are located between the
seatback and the seat cushion of the rear seat
left and right outboard seating positions.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions to properly install safety seats with ISOFIX
or ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child re-
straint seat, assure that the seat is properly
attached to the ISOFIX and tether anchors.
Also, test the safety seat before you place the
child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try
to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the
anchors hold the seat in place.
WARNING:If the child restraint seat is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being seriously
injured or killed in a collision greatly in-
creases.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Seat BeltPre-tensioner Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Seat BeltYour 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 the
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
B180B01S
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a simi-
lar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal colli-
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.
