!WARNING:
To minimise risk of severe injury in the event of a collision or a sudden stop, both the driver and passenger seatbacks should always be in anupright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags in afrontal collision may be reduced sig- nificantly when the seatbacks are reclined. There is greater risk thatthe driver and passenger will slide under the seat belt which may result in serious injury if a crash occurswhen the seatbacks are reclined. The seat belt cannot provide full protec- tion to an occupant if the seatback isreclined.!WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of theheadrest is at the same height of the centre of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, thecentre of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjustthe headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds thebody away from the seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe in-jury to the occupants may occur in the event of an accident. Head-rests may provide protection against neck injuries when prop- erly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while thevehicle is in motion.
C010104AMC Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for the occupant's safety and comfort.The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps to protect the head and neckin the event of a collision. OBH038075L

B230G02JM-DAT Installation on the Outboard of the Rear Seat To install a child restraint system on the outboard, extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. Install the child re- straint system, buckle the seat beltand allow the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child re-straint 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.
OMC039304 If you need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the retractor. NOTE:
o Before installing the child re-
straint system, read the instruc- tions supplied by the child re-straint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate
as described, have the systemchecked immediately by your authorised Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
o Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur andcause the passenger's airbag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in aninfant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child restraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint System to vehicles fitted with Cur-tain Airbags, always refer to safetynotices for Curtain Airbag sys- tems on this manual. Whenever installing child restraints, use onlyapproved devices and refer to "Child Restraint System" to en- sure correct installation and occu-pant protection is maximised.

B180B02MC-DAT 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 thewearer's body in certain frontal colli- sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can beactivated with the airbags.
OMC025300R In certain frontal collisions, the pre- tensioner will activate and pull the seatbelt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.
B180D01MCR
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo- nents. Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion.
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.

The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a similar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if theoccupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into 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 even ifthe 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 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 Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
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, andfailure to heed the warnings not to strike, modify, inspect, replace, service or repair the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent activation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv- ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, contact an authorised Hyundai dealer.
!
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminatefor approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then itshould 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. WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to op- erate once only. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replacedafter they have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem- bly mechanisms become hot dur-ing activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assembliesfor several minutes after they have been activated.!
o Although it is harmless, the finedust may cause skin irritation and should not be inhaled for pro- longed periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an acci-dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. If the SRS airbag warning lightdoes not illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to "ON", or if itblinks for a second and remains illuminated after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorised Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as pos- sible.
