!
o 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 inte-
rior.
o Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the belt
could press deep into the child caus-
ing serious internal injuries.
o 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 chil-
dren inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehicle.
o Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
o Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder belt un-
der their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
WARNING:
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 case of
a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating airbag. All chil-
dren, even those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the rear seat.
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal
injuries:
o Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat
can be forcefully struck by an inflat-
ing airbag resulting in serious or fa-
tal injuries.
o Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child re-
straint maker.
o Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the car and your
child is securely restrained in the
child seat.
!
WARNING:
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 side airbag 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.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if it is
left in a closed vehicle, be sure to
check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.
!
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.

WARNING:
o Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be vio-
lently thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious injury.
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 Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
o 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 ve-
hicle.
B230B01E-AATUsing a Child Restraint System with
the "Tether Anchorage" 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
manufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat since this can make an
important contribution to safety. Your ve-
hicle is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat
or infant seat.

seats may cause the tethers or an-
chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.

B230D07E-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 include two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two
ISOFIX anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child
seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat in the rear seats.

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 for-
ward. 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
properly anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing mode.
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
restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tem to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems on
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to "Child Restraint System"
to ensure correct installation and oc-
cupant protection is maximized. the retractor has engaged the automatic
locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing 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
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 emergency
locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied 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.
To 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 shoul-
der portion of the belt is positioned so that
it cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. Also, double check to be sure thatB230G02MC-AATChild Restraint System Installation

B990B02MC-AATSide Impact Airbag (If Installed)Your Hyundai is equipped with a side
impact airbag in each front seat. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side im-
pact airbags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.

WARNING:
o If you change the weight on the front
passenger seat just after sit-in or
restart of the engine, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be
turned on or off for a few seconds,
disabling or enabling the passenger
airbags. After the initial stage of about
30 seconds, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will not toggle.
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.
!
WARNING:
o Accident statistics show that chil-
dren are safer if they are restrained
in the rear, as opposed to the front
seat. It is recommended that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat,
including an infant riding in a rear-
facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older
child riding in a booster seat.
o Airbags can only be used once –
have an authorized Hyundai dealer
replace the airbag immediately after
deployment.
