o Never use an infant carrier or 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 whilst they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re-sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases. B230F01A-EAT Installation on Rear Seat Centre Position Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. After installation of the child restraint system, rock the child seatback and forth, and side to side to ensure that it is properly secured by the seat belt.If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child restraint tether straphook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer’s recommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle.

B230G01A-GAT Installation on Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system in the outboard rear seats, extend the shoul- der/lap belt from its retractor. Install the child restraint system, buckle the seatbelt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap por- tion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder por- tion of the belt is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head orneck. After installation of the child re- straint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraintsystem is securely installed.

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt 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.
HXG229-D
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Refer to "Secur- ing a Child Restraint System with the Tether Anchorage System" on page1-27.
WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint seat at the centre of the rear seat usingthe vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. TheISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat inthe middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX attach-ments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint seat properly in the centre of the rearseat and may break, causing seri- ous injury or death.
!
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX”
system to install a child restraint system in the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latchplates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must beretracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seatbelts.
o Do not mount more than one child
restraint to a child restraint loweranchorage point. Over-loading may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causingserious injury or death.
o Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com-
patible child restraint seat only tothe appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
o Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by themanufacturer of the child restraint.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-vate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
1.SRS airbag warning light
2.Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3.SRS control module WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from apre-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 certain frontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti-vated with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated under these conditions even if the seatbelts 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 may appear to be smoke, may be vis-ible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazard-ous.
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 the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on theinstrument panel will blink 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 warninglight will illuminate even if the SRS system is not functioning. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or ifit illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, please have an Hyundai authorised repairer in-spect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as possible. WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti- vation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, ofany 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 thepre-tensioner seat belt assemblies for 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 Hyundai authorised repairer.
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, and failure 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 the seat belts when
driving or travelling in a motorvehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRA- INT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
HFC1073
Driver's Airbag
B240A02F-EAT 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 passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbagsinstalled under the pad covers in thecentre of the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is toprovide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the reverse side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental 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 whilst the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy onlyin certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the ve-hicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axisof the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
