WARNING:
o Children who are too large to be in a
child restraint should sit in the rear
seat and be restrained with the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. Never allow
children to ride in the front passenger
seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder
belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt is
positioned midway over the shoulder
and never across the neck or behind
the back. Moving the child closer to-
ward the seat belt buckle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
must always be positioned as low as
possible on the child's hips, and as
snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use
of an approved booster seat in the
rear seat in order to raise the child's
seating height so that the seat belt will
properly fit the child.
WARNING:
Before purchasing a booster seat,
make sure that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards (FMVSS) and that it is satisfac-
tory for use with this vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback; it may not provide ad-
equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a
moving vehicle, as this could result in
serious injury to the child in the event
of an accident or a sudden stop. Hold-
ing a child in a moving vehicle does
not provide the child with any means
of protection during an accident, even
if the person holding the child is wear-
ing a seat belt.
!
!
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never install
a child or infant seat on the front
passenger's seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passenger's
front airbag to deploy, it could se-
verely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus
only use a child restraint in the rear
seat of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even
if the outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
o When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it
with a safety belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in the case of a sud-
den stop or an accident.

B230B01NF-AATUsing a Child Restraint SystemFor small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of appro-
priate size for the child and should be
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat. Your vehicle is pro-
vided with three child restraint hook hold-
ers for installing the child seat or infant
seat.

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 If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint sys-
tem can move when your vehicle turns
or stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
Should an accident occur and cause
the passenger side airbag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an infant
or child seated in an infant or child
seat. Therefore, only use a child re-
straint system in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tems to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems in
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-
tem" section to ensure correct instal-
lation and occupant protection is maxi-
mized.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system in any seating position, read
the instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
B180B01TG-AATPre-tensioner Seat BeltYour 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 occupant's body in certain fron-
tal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, where the fron-
tal collision is severe enough, together
with the airbags.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
3. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle.
Placing objects near the buckle can ad-
versely affect the buckle pre-tensioner
and may increase the risk of 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 activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af-
fected seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too quickly,
the seat belt retractor will lock into position.
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt
into tighter contact against the occupant's
body. The buckle pre-tensioner (which is
installed in the buckle) will also pull the
seat belt into the buckle.

CAUTION:
o 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 illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition 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 warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS airbag. If the SRS
airbag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illuminated
after approximately 6 seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, or if it illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
advanced SRS airbag system as soon
as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper-
ate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts and seat belt
buckles must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt or buckle assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated 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 be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
