seat at the center of the rear seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX an- chors. The ISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left andright outboard of the rear seat.
! CAUTION:
Do not allow the rear seat belt web- bing to get scratched or pinched bythe ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX anchor during the installation. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchorsby attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the middle of therear seat to the ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat ISOFIX attachments may not bestrong enough to secure the child restraint seat properly in the cen- ter of the rear seat and may break,causing serious injury or death.
o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX”
system to install a child restraintsystem in the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latchedsecurely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraintto prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat
belts. Unlatched metal latch platesor tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulationand a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint.

B180B02GK-GAT Pre-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 theoccupant's body in certain frontal col- lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can beactivated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, together with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates ina similiar way as an Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. In certain frontal colli- sions, the pre-tensioner will activateand pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following com-ponents. Their locations are shown in the illus- tration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-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 certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated alone or, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, to- gether with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may bevisible in the passenger compart- ment. These are normal operat- ing conditions and are not haz-ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly afteran accident in which the pre- tensioner seat belts were acti- vated. CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected withpre-tensioner seat belt, the SRSairbag warning light on the instrument panel will come on for approximately 6 seconds af-ter the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warninglight will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warninglight does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or if it remains illuminated aftercoming for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, pleasehave an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag sys-tem as soon as possible.

B240A03GK-GAT Driver's and Passenger's Front Airbag Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the front passenger'spanel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the front passenger's panel above the glovebox. Driver's Airbag

!
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver or the front passen-ger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of sufficientseverity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided in thefront of the sun visor.WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severeenough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.o The SRS is designed to deploy theairbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts mustbe worn at all times.

o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impact or rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not deploy in frontalcrashes below the deployment threshold speed.

o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.o Do not install a child restraint sys-tem in the front passenger seat position. A child restraint systemmust never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by anairbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If older chil-dren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make surethey 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 occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to theairbag while the vehicle is in mo- tion.o The driver should sit back as far aspossible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harmif the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundaidealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci- dental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
