WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around.

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 violently
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 adequate
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 vehicle.

B230B01E-AATUsing 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 appro-
priate 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.

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 fron-
tal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air bags.B180B01CM-AATPre-tensioner Seat Belt
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

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.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af-
fected seat belt.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI42
NOTE:o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air
bags.
The pre-tensioners will not be acti-
vated if the seat belts are not being
worn at the time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate 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 warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the advanced SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.

CAUTION:
If the seat position sensor is not working
properly, the SRS air bag warning light
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunction of the
SRS air bag system, because the SRS
air bag warning light is connected with
the seat position sensor. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, if it remains illuminated
after coming on for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle
is being driven, have an authorized
Hyundai dealer inspect the seat position
sensor and the advanced SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure can
adversely affect the seat position
sensor and cause the air bag to de-
ploy at a different level than should be
provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats which could damage
the seat position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classification sys-
tem.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seats. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat position sensor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the sun
visor.
o Advanced air bags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front air bags are
not intended to deploy in light colli-
sions in which protection can be pro-
vided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
o If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, please
contact the Hyundai Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.

WARNING:

WARNING:
Always use seat belts and child restraints
– every trip, every time, everyone! Air
bags inflate with considerable force and
in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help
keep occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the air
bag. Even with advanced air bags, im-
properly and unbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the air bag in-
flates. Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags 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 1-33).
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 air bags can
injure occupants improperly posi-
tioned in the front seatso Move your seat as far back as pos-
sible from the front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
o Never sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the front or side air bags
o Never lean against the door or center
console – always sit in an upright
position
o Do not allow a passenger to ride in the
front seat when the “Passenger Air
bag OFF” indicator is illuminated, be-
cause the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a moderate or severe frontal
crash.
o Never place objects over or near any
air bag module (front or side impact
air bags), because these objects can
injure passengers in a crash
o Never place covers, blankets or after-
market seat warmers on the passen-
ger seat as these may interfere with
the occupant classification system
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring or other components. Injuries
could result from inadvertent deploy-
ment or failure of the air bag to deploy
in a crash.o If the SRS air bag warning light (see pg
1-68) remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
air bag system as soon as possible.
o Air bags can only be used once – have
an authorized Hyundai dealer replace
the air bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
front air bags only when an impact is
sufficiently severe and when the im-
pact angle is within a range as mea-
sured from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehicle. The front air bags
will not deploy in side, rear or rollover
impacts. Additionally, the air bags will
only deploy once. Seat belts must be
worn at all times.

If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size, and he/she sits properly (sit-
ting upright with the seatback in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfortably ex-
tended and their feet on the floor), the
passenger air bag off indicator will be
turned off (The "OFF" will not illuminate)
and the front passenger's air bag will be
able to inflate, if necessary, in frontal
crashes.
You will find the passenger air bag off
indicator on the center facia panel. When
this indicator is ON, (The "OFF" will illumi-
nate) the front passenger's air bag will not
deploy. The side air bag will not deploy if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
The side air bag may deploy if the front seat
is occupied by a small occupant. The fol-
lowing table summarizes the functioning
of the system depending on the front pas-
senger seat occupant.*1) The system judges a person of adult
size as an adult. When a smaller adult
sits in the front passenger seat, the
system may recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. When a larger child
who has outgrown a child restraint
system sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her phy-
sique or posture, or objects in the lap of
the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat. Condition and operation in the front pas-

B990A01CM-AATOccupant Classification SystemYour vehicle is equipped with an occupant
classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The Occupant Classifi-
cation system is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front pas-
senger and determine if the passenger's
front air bag should be enabled (may in-
flate or not). The driver's front air bag is not
affected or controlled by the Occupant
Classification System.
