Securing the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX" System
B230F01GK
Some child seat manufacturers make child re-
straint seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible child restraint seats. These
seats include two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to two ISOFIX an-
chors at specific seating positions in your ve-
hicle. This type of child restraint seat eliminates
the need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat for forward-facing child restraint 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 center rear seating position.
WARNING:o There is no center rear seat position.
o Do not install a child restraint 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 of the rear seat. Do not misuse the
ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a
child restraint seat in the middle of rear
seat position to the ISOFIX anchors. In a
crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX at-
tachments may not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint seat properly 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 restraint seat only to the appropri-
ate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manufac-
turer of the child restraint.
installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull
more webbing 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 restraint
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 a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Should an acci-
dent occur and cause the passenger side
supplemental airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. There-
fore, only use a child restraint system in
the rear seat of your vehicle.

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 child restraint seats with
ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child re-
straint, assure that the seat is properly attached
to the ISOFIX and tether anchors. Also, test the
child restraint 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 is not anchored prop-
erly, the risk of a child being seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision greatly increases.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (If Installed)
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 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 the
same 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.

NOTE:Be sure to read information about the SRS
on the labels provided on the backside of
the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work with, and be supplemental to, the
driver's and the passenger's three point
seat belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore, your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The airbags deploy only in cer-
tain frontal impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to the
vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags
only when an impact is sufficiently severe
and when the impact angle is less than
30° from the forward longitudinal axis of
the vehicle and will not deploy in side,
rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the
airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat
belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended deploy in
light collisions in which protection can
be provided by the seat belt.
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 pos-
sible while still maintaining control of the
vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the
airbag, it can cause death or serious
injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Rollovero Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A child
restraint system must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an airbag
deployment 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 belted
and that the seat is moved back as far as
possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants including
the driver should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an airbag is also
provided at their seating position to mini-
mize the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbag while
the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING:o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to pos-
sible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
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, because
any such object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe enough 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 SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.

SRS Care
o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be
inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in
10 years after the date that the vehicle was
manufactured.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as re-
moving, installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel must be performed by a
qualified Hyundai technician. Improper han-
dling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.

9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The
passenger's arms and hands should be
placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could prevent or re-
duce the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of
the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
the supplemental side impact airbag in-
flates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of
the side impact airbag that may result in
personal injury,avoid impact to the side
airbag sensor when the ignition key is
on.
