CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A05A-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
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics provided by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats than in the front
seat. Larger children not in a child re-
straint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific re-
quirements 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 re-
straint system that meets the requirements
of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt, or by a LATCH system.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.

B230D08E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor"
systemSome 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 positions 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
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions.

o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH”
system to install a child restraint
system in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched se-
curely in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be re-
tracted behind 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 strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in the child
restraint.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re-
straint is not properly anchored.
Always follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation 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 result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only
place a LATCH or LATCH-compat-
ible child seat in the left or right out-
board rear seating positions (as
shown) to the appropriate LATCH
anchors provided.
o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or an-
chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.

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 for-
ward. Check to see if the anchors hold the
seat in place.

restraint system, rock the child seat back
and forth, and side to side to ensure that
it is properly secured by the seat belt. If
the child seat moves, readjust the length
of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert
the child restraint tether strap hook into
the child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat. Always refer to the
child restraint system manufacturer's rec-
ommendation before installing the child
restraint system in your vehicle.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing 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
restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
o Before installing a Child Restraint
System 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 that occupant protection is
maximized. If the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode, the belt will be locked. After instal-
lation of the child restraint system, try to
move it in all directions to be sure the
child restraint system 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 passen-
ger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/
lap belt entirely from its retractor until a
"click" is felt. This will engage the seat belt
retractor 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 system and the shoul-
der portion of the belt is positioned 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 extend web-
bing out of the retractor.B230G02MC-AATChild Restraint System Installation

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient sever-
ity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor-
mation about the driver's and front
passenger's seat position, the driver's and
front passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat
track position sensors (If Installed), which
are installed on the seat track, determine
if the seats are fore or aft of a reference
position. The seat belt buckle sensors
determine if the driver and front
passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con-
trol the SRS deployment based on how
close the driver's seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger's seat is
to the instrument panel, whether or not
the seat belts are fastened, and how
severe the impact is.The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation within two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the
SRSCM(SRS Control Module) controls
the airbag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your Hyundai is equipped
with an occupant classification system in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the front
passenger's airbag under certain condi-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Clas-
sification System" later in this section.
B240A03NF-AATDriver's and Passenger's Front
AirbagYour Hyundai is equipped with an ad-
vanced Supplemental Restraint (Airbag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating positions.
The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed
on the airbag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above the
glove box.Driver's Front Airbag

WARNING:
If a seat track position sensor or an
occupant classification system is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the SRS airbag
warning light is connected with the seat
track position sensor and the occupant
classification system. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 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 airbag
system as soon as possible.

WARNING:
o Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat track
position sensor and cause the airbag
to deploy at a different level than
should be provided.
o Do not place any objects underneath
the front seats as they could dam-
age the seat track position sensor or
interfere with the occupant classifi-
cation system.
o Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunc-
tion of the seat track position sen-
sor.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about
the SRS on the labels provided on
the topside of the sun visor.
o Advanced airbags are combined with
pre-tensioner seat belts to help pro-
vide enhanced occupant protection
in frontal crashes. Front airbags are
not intended to deploy in collisions in
which sufficient protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat
belt.
