WARNING:
o There is no center rear seat position.
o A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored. Always follow the
child seat manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using the
ISOFIX anchors at the center position of
the rear seat. In a crash, the ISOFIX
anchors may break if a car seat is improp-
erly placed in the center position result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only place
a ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child seat
in the left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropriate
ISOFIX anchors provided.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may cause
the tethers or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” sys-
tem to install a child restraint system in
the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat
belt metal latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat belt buck-
les and the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching and tak-
ing 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 strangu-
lation and a serious injury or death to the
child in the child restraint.
The ISOFIX anchors are located between the
seatback and the seat cushion of the rear seat
left and right outboard seating positions.

B230G02O-AATChild Restraint System Installation on
outboard Rear SeatsTo install a child restraint system in the outboard
rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will
engage the seat belt retractor automatic 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
positioned so that it can not interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to be
sure that the retractor has engaged the auto-
matic locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor.On outboard rear seats

Follow the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions to properly install child restraint seats with
ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child re-
straint, assure that the seat is properly attached
to the ISOFIX and tether anchors. Also, test the
child restraint 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.
WARNING:
A child can be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if the child restraint is not prop-
erly anchored to the car and the child is not
properly restrained in the child restraint.
Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.

B180B04GK-AATPre-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
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
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.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously in-
jured or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car, including
setting the retractor to the Automatic
Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraint system
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 restraint system in the rear
seat of your vehicle. 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 system
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 emer-
gency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem in any seating position, read the
instructions supplied by the child re-
straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai
dealer.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the front
of the sun visor and in the glove box.

your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer Assis-
tance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
WARNING:
Always use seat belts and child restraints –
every trip, every time, everyone! Airbags
inflate with considerable force and in the
blink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occu-
pants in proper position to obtain maxi-
mum benefit from the airbag. Always fol-
low the precautions about seat belts, airbags
and occupant safety contained in this
manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries and receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint system:
o Never place a child in any child or booster
seat in the front seat (see child restraints
1-21).
o ABC – Always Buckle Children in the
back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride
o Front and side impact airbags can injure
occupants improperly positioned in the
front seats
!
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact angle
is less than 30° from the forward longi-
tudinal axis of the vehicle and will not
deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.
Additionally, the airbags will only de-
ploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn
at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in light collisions in which protection
can be provided by the seat belt alone.

WARNING:
o Move your seat as far back as practical
from the front airbags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the front or side airbags
o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright posi-
tion
o Never place objects over or near any
airbag module (front or side impact
airbags), because these objects can in-
jure passengers in a crash
o Never place covers, blankets or after-
market seat warmers on the passenger
seat as these may interfere with the
occupant classification system
o Do not tamper or disconnect SRS wiring
or other components. Injuries could
result from inadvertent deployment or
failure of the airbag to deploy in a crash.
o If the SRS airbag warning light (see pg 1-
40) remains illuminated while the vehicle
is being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the airbag sys-
tem as soon as possible.
o Airbags can only be used once – have an
authorized Hyundai dealer replace the
airbag immediately after deployment.

B240B04GK-AATSRS Components and FunctionsThe SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough to
require airbag deployment.
B240B01L
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes. In addition, airbags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below the de-
ployment threshold speed.
o Move your seat as far back as practical
from the front airbags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle. You and
your passengers should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the airbags. Im-
properly positioned drivers and passen-
gers can be severely injured by inflating
airbags.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Deployed airbags WILL NOT inflate again
and will provide no protection in subse-
quent collisions.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental firing of the airbags or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
!
WARNING:
!
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the front
passengrer seat. If older children (teen-
agers and older) must ride in the front
seat, make sure they 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 occupants includ-
ing the driver should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an airbag is
also provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag
while the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provide protection in a crash.
If an occupant is out of position because
of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position. A
child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured or killed
by an airbag deployment in case of an
accident.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of
badges to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure, can ad-
versely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.

!
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove box,
because any such object could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re-
placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the SRS
system. Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the airbags
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer
knows these precautions and can give
you the necessary information. Failure
to follow these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of personal
injury.

B240D02JM-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 ve-
hicle.
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 occu-
pant 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.
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 upright, 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 opera-
tion of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifica-
tion of the front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem 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 supple-
mental restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your lap.
The infant or child could be seriously 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.
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position can
cause occupants to be shifted too close
to a deploying airbag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the vehicle
resulting in serious injury or death.
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.Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.If you modify your vehicle by changing your
vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or
side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect
the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.

WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary. NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight rat-
ings. Ask your dealer to help you
load your vehicle the right way.
The label will help you decide how much
cargo and installed equipment your
vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle –
like suitcases, tools, packages, or any-
thing else – they more as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, the items
will keep going and can cause an injury
if they strikes the driver or a passenger. WARNING:
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible tire
failure that could lead to a crash.
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping dis-
tances that could lead to a crash.
o A crash resulting from poor han-
dling vehicle damage, tire failure,
or increased stopping distances
could result in serious injury or
death.
