B230A02TB-DAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM If the child is old enough to sit alone and the car is not equipped with a proper child or infant seat, the childshould be placed in the rear seat and restrained with a shoulder/lap belt. Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIXanchors (if installed). o When the child restraint system is
not in use, store it in the luggage
compartment or fasten it with a
safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or accident.
o A child restraint system should be placed in the vehicle's rear seatsince this can make an importantcontribution to safety.
o Unrestrained children should not
be carried in the car. Holding achild in your arms is not a satis- factory substitute for a child re- straint system. A child held inthis manner can be crushed be- tween your body and the interior of the car.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle. This could re-sult in serious injury or death to the child in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not give protection during an ac- cident, even if the person hold-ing the child is wearing a seat belt.
WARNING:
o Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-stances are they to be used for adult seat belts harnesses or for attaching other items or equip-ment to the vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure and check the seat cover and buckles before placing achild there.B220C01Y-DAT To Release the Seat Belt When you want to release the seat belt, press the button in the locking buckle. B220C02TB

Driver's Airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Air Bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver andpassenger seating positions. The indi- cations of the system's presence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG" embossedon the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and printed on the passenger's side front panel pad above the glovebox. B240A03TB-DAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
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 seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Inaddition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi- tions severe enough to likelycause significant injury to the vehicle 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 axis of the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts.Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the centre of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat belt alone, in case of a frontal impact ofsufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor.

B240B05L-D o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position. If the SRS SRI does not come on, or continuously re-mains on, after flashing for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If thisoccurs, have your vehicle imme- diately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi- tion. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
CAUTION:
When installing a container of liq- uid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrumentcluster nor on the instrument panel pad surface. If there is any leakage from the air freshener onto theseareas (instrument cluster, instru- ment panel pad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liq-uid from the air freshener does leak onto these areas, wash them with water immediately.
!
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout thevehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous. However, the fine dust generatedduring airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thor-oughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the airbags were deployed.
After complete inflation, the airbag im-mediately starts deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility. Passenger's Airbag!
CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accesso- ries (drink holder, cassette holder,sticker, etc) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a ve- hicle with passenger's air bag. Suchobjects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.
