On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located apair of ISOFIX anchorage points to- gether with a top tether mounting on the luggage compartment. During the in-stalling, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you can hear it clicking (check by pulling!) andhas to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point in the luggage- compartment. The installing and theuse of a child-seat has to be done according to the installing-manual, which is added to the ISOFIX-seat. NOTE: An ISOFIX-child-seat can only be installed if the seat has a vehicle- specific approval according to ECE-R44. Before using the ISOFIX-child- seat, which was bought for another car, ask your Hyundai-dealer whetherthis seat-type is approved and rec- ommended for your Hyundai.
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 providedfor the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attemptingto attach a child restraint seat in the middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, thechild restraint seat ISOFIX attach- ments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint seatproperly in the center of the rear seat and may break, causing seri- ous injury or death.
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” system to install a child restraintsystem in the rear seat, all unusedvehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt bucklesand the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reachingand taking hold of unretracted seat
belts. Unlatched metal latch plates

However, when vehicles crash, the retractor rewinds the beltwebbing. This will restrain the passen- ger movement quickly and also reduce the slack between passenger and beltwebbing. NOTE:
o When the pre-tensioner seat belt
is activated, there may be an ex- plosion noise. This noise is nor-mal and is not hazardous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is designed
to operate only when a sufficientlysevere impact occurs and it will be only operated once.

B180B01A-GAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (With A/BAG) (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 belts fit tightly against the occu-pant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a similar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. Whenthe vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
!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 activat-ed with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated even if the seat belts are not being worn atthe time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may beheard 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.
o Although it is harmless, the fine

WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed tooperate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, ofany type, should always be re- placed 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 havebeen 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.
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 to notstrike, 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 seat belts when driv- ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
dust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for pro-longed periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci- dent in which the pre-tensionerseat belts were activated.
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 ap-proximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it shouldturn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbagsystem . If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or ifit remains illuminated after blink- ing for approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the ve-hicle is being driven, please have

35SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
B240A03A
Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and on the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to B240A03F-GAT (If Installed)!
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently 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. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts mustbe worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploymentthreshold speed.
provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec-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 backside of the sun visor and inthe glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental 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. Theairbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.

severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If older chil-dren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make surethey are always properly belted and that the seat is moved back as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to theairbag while the vehicle is in mo- tion.
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 notwearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries. The SRS consists of the following com-ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors allelements while the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment. B240B02A-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harmif the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci- dental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seatposition. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blinkfor about 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after whichthe SRI should go out.
The airbag modules are located both inthe center of the steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above the glove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of thevehicle, it will automatically deploy the airbags.
B240B02L
! CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument clus- ter nor on the instrument panel sur-face. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto these areas (in- strument cluster, instrument panelor air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air fresh- ener does leak onto these areas,wash them with water immediately.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa- rate under pressure from the expansionof the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows thedriver's or the passenger's forward mo- tion, thus reducing the risk of head or chest injury. After complete inflation, the airbag im- mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility.

o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 sec-onds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or after the engine is started, comeson while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position or remove the ignitionkey. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi- nate. B180C01A-AAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt (With Dual-stage A/BAG)(If Installed) Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre- tensioner seat belts. The purpose of thepre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occu- pant's body in certain frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, togetherwith the airbags.
!WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor- mal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated dur- ing airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Wash your handsand face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags weredeployed.
