B230G01JM-GAT Installation on the Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system on the outboard rear seats, extend the shoul- der/lap belt from its retractor. Buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt totake up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child restraint system and the shoulderportion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck. After installation of the childrestraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraint system is securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. When youunbuckle 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 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:
o Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger's front airbagto 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.
o Before installing Child Restraint
System to vehicles fitted with Cur-tain Airbags, always refer to safety notices for Curtain Airbag sys- tems on this manual. Whenever installing child restraints, use onlyapproved devices and refer to "Child Restraint System" to en- sure correct installation and occu-pant protection is maximized.

B180B01NF-GAT 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 belt fits tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal col- lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can beactivated with the airbags.

NOTE:
o Both the driver's and frontpassenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, whichmay appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operat-ing conditions and are not haz- ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash all ex-posed skin areas thoroughly af- ter an accident in which the pre- tensioner seat belts were activated.
!
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo- nents, whose locations are shown in the illustration:
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

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. 4
!
In certain frontal collisions, the pre- tensioner will activate and pull the seatbelt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. The buckle pre- tensioner (which is installed in thebuckle) will also pull the seat belt into the buckle.
CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle. Placing objects near the buckle can adversely affect the buckle pre- tensioner and may increase the riskof personal injury in the event of a collision. If the system senses excessive seat belt tension on the driver or passenger's seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti- vates, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will release some of the pres- sure on the affected seat belt.

CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds af- ter the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, andthen it should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warninglight does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it blinks for a second andremains illuminated after illumi- nating for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while thevehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat beltor SRS airbag system as soon as possible. WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat beltsmust be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as-
sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt as- semblies for several minutes af- ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not tostrike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead toimproper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve-hicle.

passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seatbelt sys-tem alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. 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 seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at alltimes while the vehicle is in mo- tion. The airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact conditionssevere enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
B240A01NF-GAT Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) Sys-tem. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossed on the airbag padcover in the steering wheel and the front passenger's panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in thecenter of the steering wheel and the front passenger's panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver or the front

Rear impact
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact issufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi- tion, airbags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.Side Impact

o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, 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, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive. o Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint system must never be placed in the frontseat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of anaccident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu-pants including the driver should always wear their seat belts tominimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the airbag while the ve- hicle is in motion. o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu- pant causing serious or fatal in- juries.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expan- sion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation ofthe airbags.

The SRS service reminder indicator(SRI) on the instrument panel will illu-minate for about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi- tion or after the engine is started, afterwhich the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects aconsiderable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the passenger's forwardmotion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility.
B240B01NF-GAT SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Front Airbag Module
- Passenger's Front Airbag Module
- Knee bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B01L
