CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in ac-cordance with the requirements of ECE- R44. For your Hyundai, the Hyundai ISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo / RömerISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved ac- cording to the requirement ECE-R44.This seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai and is recommended 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 evaluate this seat carefully and will give arecommendation provided that seat complies to the law. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in this respect.
On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located a pair of ISOFIX anchorage points to- gether with a top tether mounting on theluggage compartment. During the in- stalling, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in a way you canhear it clicking (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point in the luggage-compartment. The installing and the use of a child-seat has to be done according to the installing-manual,which is added to the ISOFIX-seat. B230D02A-E

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 lockinto position. However, in certain frontal B180B02A-D

o Although it is harmless, the fine
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-tensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRSairbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for approximately 6 seconds after theignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system.If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to "ON", or if itremains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if
!
it illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, please have an au-thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as pos-sible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate only one time. After activa-tion, pre-tensioner seat belts mustbe replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have been worn during acollision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem- bly mechanisms become hot dur- ing activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assembliesfor several minutes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by anauthorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
!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.
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 acti- vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated under these conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at thetime of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard 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.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
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 the seat belts when driving or travelling in a motor vehicle.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
!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 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 likely cause significantinjury to the vehicle occupants.
provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe back of the sun visor and in the glove box.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. Theindications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in thesteering wheel and on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in thecentre of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to

o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided attheir seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to the airbag 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 not wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully 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 whilst the ignition is "ON" todetermine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.

Side Impact Rollover
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,airbags will not normally deploy in frontal crashes below the de- ployment threshold speed.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
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 in the centre 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.
B240B02L-D
B240B03L-D
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will sepa-rate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of theairbags. A fully inflated airbag in combination with a properly worn seat belt slows the driver'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 the driver to maintain forward visibility.
CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, donot place it near the instrument clus- ter nor on the instrument panel sur- face. If there is any leakage from theair freshener onto these areas (in- strument cluster, instrument panel or air ventilator), it may damage theseparts. If the liquid from the air fresh- ener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.
