B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can becleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if thevehicle has been involved in an acci- dent. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional ques-tions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
B160A01A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the ve-hicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly.See page 1-21.
B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rearseatback was folded down, be care- ful not to damage the seat belt web- bing or buckle. Be sure that thewebbing or buckle does not get caught or pinched in the rear seat.!
B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is lyingdown in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts can'tdo their job when you're reclined. The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against yourbody. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving serious neck or other in-juries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up overyour abdomen. The belt forces would be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones.

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/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul- der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positionedmidway over the shoulder, never across the neck. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehiclemay help provide a good shoul- der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-ter seat lap belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug aspossible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit
the child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur andcause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely in- jure or kill an infant or child seatedin an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if itis left in a closed vehicle on asunny day, even if the outside temperature does not feel hot. Be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the trunkor fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or an accident.

B230A04A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be restrained to minimize the risk of injuryin an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident sta- tistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint should use one of theseat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small childrenride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba- bies, a child seat or infant seat must beused. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits yourchild. Follow all the instructions pro- vided by the manufacturer when in- stalling the child restraint system.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 25
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 pro- vide adequate security in an ac-cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any meansof protection 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 achild being seriously injured orkilled in a collision greatly in- creases.B230F01A-AAT Installation on Rear Seat Center Position

For vehicles with adjustable head- rests, route the tether strap underthe headrest and between the head- rest posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in ac- cordance with the requirements ofECE-R44. For your Hyundai, the Hyundai ISOFIX GR 1 / Hyundai Duo/ Römer ISOFIX GR1 and the RömerDuo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved according to the requirement ECE-R44. This seat has been testedextensively by Hyundai and is recom- mended for your Hyundai. NOTE: At present, this seat is the only one complying with that provision. In case that other manufacturers willfurnish proof of a respective certifi- cation, Hyundai is going to evalu- ate this seat carefully and will givea recommendation provided that seat complies to the law. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in this respect.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the
child restraint hook holder andtighten to secure the seat.
ISOFIX is a standardized method offitting child seats that eliminates theneed to use the standard adult seat belt to secure the seat in the vehicle. This enables a much more secure andpositive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation.
