!For vehicles with adjustable headrests,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the
child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.

B230D08E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat with
the "Child Seat Lower Anchor" sys-
temSome child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-
compatible child seats. LATCH stands for
"Lower anchors and Tethers for Children".
These seats include two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two
LATCH anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to
attach the child seat in the rear seats.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are lo-
cated in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions.

WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the LATCH lower anchors at the cen-
ter position of the rear seat. In a crash,
the LATCH lower anchors may break
if a car seat is improperly placed in the
center position resulting in serious or
fatal injuries. Only place a LATCH or
LATCH-compatible child seat in the
left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropri-
ate LATCH anchors provided.
!
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.
o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH”
system to install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, all unused ve-
hicle rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched securely in
their seat belt buckles and the seat
belt webbing must be retracted be-
hind the child restraint to prevent the
child from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretracted seat
belts which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or death to
the child in the child restraint.
WARNING:
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no LATCH anchor provided
for the center rear seating position.

WARNING:
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
Child restraint symbols are located on the
left and right rear seatbacks to indicate the
position of the lower anchors for child
restraints.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's in-
structions to properly install child restraint
seats with LATCH or LATCH-compatible
attachments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop-
erly attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors. Also, test the safety seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward.
Check to see if the anchors hold the seat
in place.
!
CAUTION:
Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to
get scratched or pinched by the child
seat latch and LATCH anchor during the
installation.

To install a child restraint system in the rear
seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This
will engage the seat belt retractor auto-
matic 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 system and
the shoulder portion of the belt is posi-
tioned so that it cannot interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to
be sure that the retractor has engaged the
Automatic Locking feature by trying to ex-
tend webbing out of the retractor. If the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking mode,
the belt will be locked. After installation of
the child restraint system, try to move it in all
directions to be sure the child restraint sys-
tem is securely installed. If you need to
tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward
the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat
belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger Emergency Locking usage con-
dition.

described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.

!
CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle.
Placing objects near the buckle can ad-
versely affect the buckle pre-tensioner
and may increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.
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. 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. The buckle pre-tensioner (which is
installed in the buckle) will also pull the
seat belt into the buckle.
!
WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint is
not properly anchored to the car, in-
cluding setting the retractor to the
Automatic Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
Should an accident occur and cause
the passenger side airbag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an infant
or child seated in an infant or child
seat. Therefore, only use a child re-
straint system in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tems to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems in
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to the "Child Restraint Sys-
tem" section to ensure correct instal-
lation and occupant protection is maxi-
mized.
B180B03TG-AATPre-tensioner Seat BeltYour 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 alone or, where the fron-
tal collision is severe enough, together
with the airbags.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
o The seatbelt must be work correctly
and adjusted to the proper position
(see pages 1-29 and 1-30). Please
read and follow all of the important
information and precautions about
your vehicle’s occupant safety fea-
tures – including seat belts and ad-
vanced airbags – that are provided in
this manual.
o Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

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 alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
together with the airbags.
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.

WARNING:
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to
heed the warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt and buckle
assemblies may lead to improper
operation or inadvertent activation
and serious injury.
o Always wear the 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
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS
airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag
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 airbag. If the SRS
airbag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, remains illuminated
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 au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
advanced SRS airbag system as soon
as possible.
!
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper-
ate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts and seat belt
buckles must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt or buckle assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
