WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting inserious or fatal injuries.
Always follow the instructions for installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
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.
Never put a seat belt over your- self and a child. During a crash,the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internalinjuries.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never leave children unattendedin a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the sameseat belt.
Children often squirm and repo- sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper-
ly position and secure children inrear seat.
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicles interior, resulting in
serious injury.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never use an infant carrier or achild safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten-
ing them over a child.
After an accident, have an autho- rised HYUNDAI dealer check the
child restraint system, seat belt,
tether anchor and lower anchor.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint systembecause of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint systemin the rear left seat.

Installing a child restraint system bylap/shoulder belt
To install a child restraint system on the
outboard or centre rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the child restraint system in the seat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint, follow-
ing the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure the seat belt web-bing is not twisted. 2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”sound.Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.
3. Buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. After installa-
tion of the child restraint system, try to
move it in all directions to be sure the
child restraint system is securelyinstalled.
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.
If the child seat moves, readjust the
length of the seat belt. In Australia/NZ the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions
must be followed when fitting the unit to
the vehicle.

Securing a child restraint systemwith “ISOFIX” system and “Tether Anchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardized method of fit- ting child seats that eliminates the needto use the standard adult seat belt to
secure the seat in the vehicle. This
enables a much more secure and posi-
tive location with the added benefit of
easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed if it
has vehicle-specific or universal approval in accordance with the requirements of
relevant regulation. ❈ ISOFIX: International Standards Origanisation FIX
WARNING - Tether strap
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
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
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 prop-
erly restrained in the child restraint.
Always follow the child seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for installa-
tion and use.WARNING - Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.
WARNING - Child restraint
anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used foradult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhereother than the correct tether
anchor.B230D01NF

There are child restraint symbols located
on the lower portion of each side of the
rear seatbacks. These symbols indicate
the position of the lower anchors for child
restraints so equipped. Both rear outboard seats are equipped
with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well
as a corresponding top tether anchorage
on the back side of the back rest. The
ISOFIX anchorages are located between
seat cushion and back rest, marked withthe ISOFIX icon.
For installation, CRS ISOFIX connecters
have to engage with the vehicles ISOFIX
anchorages (listen for a CLICK, checkpotential visual indicators on the CRS
and cross-check by pulling).
CRS with universal approval to relevant
regulation need to be fixed additionally
with a top tether strap connected to the
corresponding top tether anchorage
point in the back rest.
The installing and the use of a child-seathas to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is added to theISOFIX-seat.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX" 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 securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt web-
bing must be retracted behind
the child restraint to prevent the
child from reaching and takinghold 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.
Do not place anything around the ISOFIX anchors. Also make surethat the seat belt is not caught in
the ISOFIX anchors.

To maintain the integrity of the Curtain Airbag system, any work,
removal or installation of the
airbag and associated compo-
nents (such as roof lining and
side trims) should always be per-
formed by a qualified vehicle
repairer.
