To Release the Seat Belt
When you want to release the seat belt,
press the button in the locking buckle. HTB191
WARNING:
The centre belt latching mechanism
is different from those for the rear
seat shoulder belts. When fastening
the rear seat shoulder belts or the
rear seat centre belt, make sure they
are inserted into the correct buckles
to obtain maximum protection from
the seat belt system and assure proper
operation. B230A03A-EAT
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be prop-
erly restrained to minimize the risk of
injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden manoeuvre. According to acci-
dent statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats
than in the front seat. Larger children
should use one of the seat belts pro-
vided.
You are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children
ride in your vehicle you must put them
in a child restraint system (safety seat).
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 manu-
facturer when installing the child re-
straint system.
!WARNING:
o When using the rear seat centre belt, you must lock all metal tabs
and buckles. If any metal tab or
buckle is not locked, it will in-
crease the chance of injury in the
event of collision.
o Never unlock the metal tab (a) and
the buckle (b) with the following
exceptions.(1)In case of folding rear seatbacks down.
(2)If transporting an object on the
rear seat may cause damage to
the rear seat centre belt.
o Lock the metal tab (a) and the
buckle (b) immediately after fold-
ing rear seatbacks up.

Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboard
lap/shoulder belt is positioned
midway over the shoulder, never
across the neck or behind the
back. Moving the child closer to
the centre of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit.
The lap belt portion of the lap/
shoulder belt or the centre seat lap
belt must always be positioned as
low as possible on the child's hips
and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends
the use of an approved booster
seat in the rear seat in order to
raise the child's seating height so
that 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 ad-
equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a
moving vehicle, as this could re-
sult in serious injury to the child
in the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child in a
moving vehicle does not provide
the child with any means of pro-
tection during an accident, even if
the person holding the child is
wearing a seat belt.
o 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.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in-
stall a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's 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. Thus, only
use a child restraint in the rear
seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become very
hot if it is left in a closed vehicle,
be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is
not in use, store it in the trunk or
fasten it with a safety belt so that it
will not be thrown forward in the
case of a sudden stop or an acci-
dent.
o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with
the available lap/shoulder belts.!

!WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem 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.
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 pas-
senger emergency locking usage con-
dition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system
checked immediately by your au-
thorized Hyundai dealer.

Using a Child Restraint System
with "Tether Anchorage" Sys-
tem
For small children and babies, the use
of a child seat or infant seat is strongly
recommended. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for
the child and should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions. It is further recommended
that the seat be placed in the vehicle's
rear seat since this can make an impor-
tant contribution to safety. Your vehicle
is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat
or infant seat. Spacer (10mm), Child
Restraint Hook Holder
Holder Bolt (5/16"-30 mm)
Washer, Conical Spring
Holder, Child Restraint Hook
Retainer Washer
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoul-
der/lap belt from its retractor. Install the
child restraint system, buckle the seat
belt and allow the seat belt to take up
any slack. Make sure that the lap por-
tion of the belt is tight around the child
restraint system and the shoulder por-
tion of the belt is positioned so that it
cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. After installation of the child re-
straint system, try to move it in all
directions to be sure the child restraint
system is securely installed.B230G01A-GAT

WARNING:
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 outboard rear
seating positions. Do not misuse
the ISOFIX anchors by attempting
to attach a child restraint seat in
the middle of the rear seat to the
ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the
child restraint seat ISOFIX attach-
ments may not be strong enough
to secure the child restraint seat
properly in the center of the rear
seat and may break, causing seri-
ous injury or death.
o Do not mount more than one child restraint to a child restraint lower
anchorage point. The improper
increased load may cause the an-
chorage points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injury or
death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com-
patible child restraint seat only to
the appropriate locations shown
in the illustration.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
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 colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can
be activated with the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following compo-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration.

seat belts were activated. it illuminates whilst the vehicle is
being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS
airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
airbag warning light on the
instrument panel will blink for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition key has been turned to the
"ON" position and then it should
turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning
light will illuminate even if there is
no function of the SRS airbag sys-
tem.

does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON", or if it
remains illuminated after blinking

o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate only one time. After activa-
tion, pre-tensioner seat belts must
be replaced. All seat belts, of any
type, should always be replaced
after they have been worn during a
collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot dur-
ing activation. Do not touch the
pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies
for several minutes after they have
been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat belts
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies.
!
!WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be acti-
vated with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated under
these conditions even if the seat
belts are not being worn at the
time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be vis-
ible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazard-
ous.

Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em-
bossed on the airbag pad cover in the
steering wheel and printed on the
passenger's side front panel pad above
the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional protec- B240A01TB-EAT

tion than that offered by the seat belt
system alone, in case of a frontal im-
pact of sufficient severity.
NOTE:
Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the back 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 substi-
tute for them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in motion. In
addition, the airbags deploy only
in certain frontal impact condi-
tions severe enough to likely cause
significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
o Do not attempt to service or repairthe pre-tensioner seat belt system
in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warnings to not
strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor
vehicle.
