CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A03Y-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden ma-
neuver. According to accident statistics
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use
one of the seat belts provided. All 50 states
have child restraint laws. You should be
aware of the specific requirements in your
state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear
seat. You must use a commercially avail-
able child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car seat and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer
when installing the child restraint system.

B230D04E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "ISOFIX" systemSome child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats in-
clude two rigid or webbing mounted at-
tachments that connect to two ISOFIX an-
chors at specific seating positions in your
vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates
the need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat for forward-facing child seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are lo-
cated in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions.
B230D01NF
!
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at
the center of the rear seat using the
vehicle's outboard rear seat ISOFIX
anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are only
provided for the left and right out-
board rear seating positions. Do not
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by at-
tempting to attach a child safety seat
in the middle of the rear seat position
to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the
child seat ISOFIX attachments may
not be strong enough to secure the
child restraint seat properly in the
center of the rear seat and may break,
causing serious injury or death.
!For vehicles with adjustable headrests,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the
child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.
WARNING:
Do not mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a child
restraint lower anchorage point. The im-
proper increased load may cause the
anchorage points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injury or death.Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no ISOFIX anchor provided
for the center rear seating position.

WARNING:
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX”
system to install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, all unused ve-
hicle rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched securely in
their seat belt buckles and the seat
belt webbing must be retracted be-
hind the child restraint to prevent the
child from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretracted seat
belts which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or death to
the child in the child restraint.
o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a child
restraint lower anchorage point. The
improper increased load may cause
the anchorage points or tether an-
chor to break, causing serious injury
or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compat-
ible child seat only to the appropriate
locations shown.
The ISOFIX anchors are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.

WARNING:
o Always follow the installation and use
instructions provided by the manu-
facturer of the child restraint.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's in-
structions to properly install safety seats
with ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible attach-
ments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child
restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop-
erly attached to the ISOFIX and tether
anchors. Also, test the safety seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward.
Check to see if the anchors hold the seat
in place.

To install a child restraint system in the rear
seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This
will engage the seat belt retractor auto-
matic locking feature, which allows the
seat belt to retract but not extend. Install the
child restraint system, buckle the seat belt
and allow the seat belt to take up any slack.
Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is
tight around the child restraint system and
the shoulder portion of the belt is posi-
tioned so that it cannot interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to
be sure that the retractor has engaged the
Automatic Locking feature by trying to ex-
tend webbing out of the retractor. If the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking mode,
the belt will be locked. After installation of
the child restraint system, try to move it in all
directions to be sure the child restraint sys-
tem is securely installed. If you need to
tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward
the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat
belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger Emergency Locking usage con-
dition.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat track posi-
tion sensor and cause the airbag to
deploy at a different level than should
be provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could damage
the seat track position sensor or in-
terfere with the occupant classifica-
tion system.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunction
of the seat track position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the
backside of the sun visor and in the
glove box.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in
which sufficient protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please

CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger's front airbag is connected
with the occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the occupant
classification system, the "PASS AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will illuminate and
the passenger's front airbag will not in-
flate in frontal impact crashes even if
there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat. If the SRS airbag warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Hyundai
dealer inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS airbag system
as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem, do not install a child restraint
system in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. Children
who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system in the rear
seat.
o If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator
is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult sitting properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), have that person sit in the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat, the "PASS AIR BAG
OFF" indicator may be turned on or off
for a few seconds, disabling or en-
abling the passenger airbags.
o Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket or after market seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can ad-
versely affect the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not sit on sharp objects such as
tools when occupying the front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely af-
fect the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not use accessory seat covers on
the front seats.
1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI60
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap or in your mouth can
result in injuries if an airbag inflates.
oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifi-
cation of the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing components
or side impact airbags.
oDo not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious injury or death in
a crash.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with your seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and your
feet on the floor. oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the rear
seat.
B240D01NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a
seat belt during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the inside of
the vehicle, against other occupants, or
out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one person
uses the same seat belt, they could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
