During the installing, the seat has to be engaged at the anchorage-points in away you can hear it clicking (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the belonging point of therear seat package tray (4 Door) or rear floor panel (3 Door). The installing and the use of a child-seat has to be doneaccording 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 whether this seat-type is approved and rec-ommended for your Hyundai.
B230D01MC-GAT Using a Child Restraint System with "ISOFIX" System and"Tether Anchorage" System ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the standard adult seat beltto secure the seat in the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and posi- tive location with the added benefit ofeasier and quicker installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in ac- cordance with the requirements of ECE- R44. This seat has been tested exten-sively by Hyundai and is recommended for your Hyundai.
B230D01MCNOTE: 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.

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

!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 certainfrontal 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 at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which mayappear to be smoke, may be vis- ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operatingconditions and are not hazard- ous.
The seat belt pre-tensioner systemconsists mainly of the following compo- nents.Their locations are shown in the illustra- tion.

B180B01MC-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 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 ina similar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if theoccupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. In certain frontal colli-

illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an au- thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as pos- sible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any 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 assembliesfor several minutes after 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, andfailure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, replace,service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertentactivation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation andshould 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 pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then itshould 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 warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to "ON", or if it blinks for a second and remainsilluminated after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if it

Driver's Front Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em-bossed on the airbag pad cover 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.
B240A01NF-GAT Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag
!
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.
The purpose of the SRS is to providethe vehicle's driver or the front passen-ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficientseverity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided onthe topside 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 andthe passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seatbelts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain fron-tal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
