B230A03A-GAT (Minibus/Van) (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always berestrained to minimize the risk of injury in 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 shoulduse one of the seat 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 in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly se- cured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used.Before buying a particular child re- straint 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. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat onthe front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbagto deploy, it could severely in- jure 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 veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of asudden stop or an accident.
!
NOTE:
o When the pre-tensioner seat beltis activated, there may be an ex- plosion noise. This noise is nor-mal and is not hazardous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is de-
signed to operate only when asufficiently severe impact occurs and it will be only operated once.
WARNING:
If the pre-tensioner seat belt was activated, never attempt to replace it by yourself. It must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.

o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrainedwith the available lap/shoulder belts.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may 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 bepositioned 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, we recommend the useof an approved booster seat inthe 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 orchild 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 thechild in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does notprovide the child with any means of protection during an accident, even if the person holding thechild is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in- creases. B230F01P-AAT Installation on Rear Seat Center Position

B230G01P-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats 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 theseat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around thechild restraint system and the shoulder portion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's heador neck. After installation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pullmore webbing toward the retractor.When you unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normalseated passenger emergency locking usage condition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child re-
straint system, read the instruc- tions supplied by the child re- straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the systemchecked immediately by yourauthorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
Do not install any child restraintsystem in the front passenger seat.Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to de- ploy, it could severely injure or killan infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, install a child restraint system only in therear seat of your vehicle.
B230G01L-1
Use the center seat belt for the rearseat to secure the child restraint sys-tem as illustrated. After installation of the child restraint system, rock the child seat back and forth, and side toside to ensure that it is properly se- cured by the seat belt. If the child seat moves, readjust thelength of the seat belt. Always refer to the child restraint system manufacturer's recommendation be-fore installing the child restraint sys- tem in your vehicle.

o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents orcleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, be- cause any such object couldcause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be replaced by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or other com-ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera-tive.o Do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system mustnever be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be se- verely injured by an airbag de-ployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the airbag sys-
tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, cer- tain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can give you the necessary informa- tion. Failure to follow these pre-cautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal in- jury.
o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner of theseimportant points and make cer-tain that this manual is trans- ferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed toauthorized Hyundai dealer.
!WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the additionof any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury. B240C02L
