!WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be danger- ous. Before you drive away (espe-
cially if there are children in the
car), be sure that all the doors are
securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be inadvert-
ently opened from the inside. This
helps ensure that doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when
combined with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
keep occupants from being ejected
from the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traf-
fic.
o In case of accident the door is
unlocked automatically (Not all
models).

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

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.

!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
