WARNING
Never let anyone ride in the rear
center seat without fastening all
metal tabs and buckles as
described in this section. This seat
belt is designed to function as a
typical 3-point restraint (lap/shoul-
der belt). Using only the shoulder
portion or lap portion of the belt
can result in serious or fatal injuries
in the event of a collision or sudden
stop.

Features of your vehicle
Children 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
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics 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 require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. You must use a
commercially available 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 man-
ufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WARNING
 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 side air bag to deploy,
it could severely 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.
 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.
 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 sudden stop or an
accident.
 Children may be seriously injured
or killed by an inflating air bag.
All children, even those too large
for child restraints, must ride in
the rear seat.
WARNING
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries:
 Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.
 Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
 Always make sure the child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
 Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
 Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.

Using 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
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat. Your vehicle is provid-
ed with three child restraint hook holders
for installing the child seat or infant seat.
(Continued)
 Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
 Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same seat
belt.
 Children often squirm and reposi-
tion themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always prop-
erly position and secure children
in rear seat.
 Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or sudden stop, the child can
be violently thrown against the
vehicles interior, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an acci-
dent.
 Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fastening
them over a child.
 Always store or secure a child
seat, even when it is not in use.
During a collision or sudden stop,
the child seat could be thrown
inside the vehicle.

Securing a child restraint seat Tether anchor system Child restraint hook holders are located
on the back of the rear seat cushions.1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
appropriate child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the seat.
WARNING
- Tether strap
 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.
 Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multi-
ple seats may cause the tethers
or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
- Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.

Features of your vehicle
Follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child
restraint, 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.
Placing a passenger seat belt
into the auto lock mode The use of the auto lock mode will
ensure that the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle does not cause the
seat belt to be pulled out and loosen the
firmness of its hold on the child restraint
system. To secure a child restraint sys-
tem, use the following procedure.
WARNING -
ISOFIX
Anchors
 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.
 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 improperly
placed in the center position
resulting 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.
 Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multi-
ple seats may cause the tethers
or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat fully
rearward against the seatback with
the seatback in a vertical position,
not reclined.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"
system 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 buckles
and the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind 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 strangulation and a
serious injury or death to the child
in the child restraint.

Features of your vehicle
Side impact air bag (if equipped)Your Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The
purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.
(Continued)
 Accident statistics show that chil-
dren are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to the front seat. It is recommend-
ed that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including
an infant riding in a rear-facing
infant seat, a child riding in a for-
ward-facing child seat and an
older child riding in a booster
seat.
 Air bags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai deal-
er replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
 A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example:
seat excessively reclined, leaning
on the center console, or hips
shifted forward in the seat) can
cause a condition where the
advanced frontal air bag system
senses less weight than if the
occupant were seated properly
(sitting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor).
(Continued)
(Continued)
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being misclassi-
fied and illumination of the "PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator.

Features of your vehicle
Curtain air bag (if equipped)Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions.The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.
OVQ036093NOVQ036017N
WARNING
 In order for side air bags (side
and curtain air bags) to provide
its best protection, both front seat
occupants and both outboard
rear occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to put
the child restraint system as far
away from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child restraint
system in a locked position.
 Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side air
bags.
 Never try to open or repair any
components of the side curtain
air bag system. This should only
be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-
pants in an accident.
