WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, the seat belts must always be
used whenever the car is moving.
o Children age 12 and younger must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If a child
over 13 must be seated in the front
seat, he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
o Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
can cause serious injuries in a crash.
The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A
twisted belt can't do its job as well. In
a collision, it could even cut into you.
Be sure the belt webbing is straight
and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt web-
bing or hardware is damaged, replace
it. When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt opera-
tion changes to allow the belt to retract, but
not to extend (Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor Type). See page 1-39.
NOTE:Although the convertible retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom-
mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode, al-
low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-
tract.
B190A01CM-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with
Convertible Locking RetractorConvertible retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a convertible re-
tractor is also installed in the front passen-
ger seat position, Hyundai strongly recom-
mends that children always be seated in the
rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint
system in the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking retrac-
tor seat belt and an automatic locking
retractor seat belt. 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. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as
the driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking
Retractor Type). It automatically adjusts to
the proper length only after the lap belt
portion of the seat belt is adjusted manu-
ally so that it fits snugly around your hips.

WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration. Never wear the seat belt
under the arm nearest the door.

The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button in the locking buckle. When
it is released, the belt should automatically
draw back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to be
sure it is not twisted, then try again.B210A01A-AATTo Release the Seat Belt

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A01CM-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden ma-
neuver. According to accident statistics
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use
one of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. You must use a
commercially available child restraint sys-
tem that meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS). Child restraint systems are de-
signed to be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/
shoulder belt, or by a LATCH system (if
installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. 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.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI34
!
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 interior.
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 themselves
in the windows, or lock themselves 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 under
their arm or behind their back. Al-
ways properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
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 inflating air
bag resulting in serious or fatal inju-
ries.
o Always follow the instructions for in-
stallation and use of the child restraint
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:
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
air bag 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 A safety belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even
if the outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
o When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the luggage compart-
ment or fasten it with a safety belt so
that it will not be thrown forward in the
case of a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children may be seriously injured or
killed by an inflating air bag. All chil-
dren, even those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the rear seat.

B230F01JM-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Rear Seat Center PositionTo install a child restraint system in the
center rear seat, extend the shoulder/lap
belt entirely from its retractor until a "click"
is felt. This will engage the seat belt retrac-
tor 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 sys-
tem and the shoulder portion of the belt is
positioned so that it can not interfere with
the child's head or neck.

retractor has engaged the Automatic Lock-
ing feature by trying to extend webbing out
of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be
locked.
B230G01CM-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Outboard Rear SeatsTo install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/

tend. 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 shoulder portion
of the belt is positioned so that it can not
