(if equipped)
Your 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
frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belts can be activated, where the frontal
collision is severe enough, together with
the air bags.

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.
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
affected seat belt. (if equipped)(Continued)
• Improper handling of the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious injury.
• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING
• Pre-tensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
• The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
• Do not hit the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies.
• Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not attempt to service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be worn cor-
rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags
– that are provided in this manu-
al.

Safety system of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-tensioner
seat belts. The SRS air bag warning
light on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working prop-
erly, the warning light will illuminate
even if the SRS air bag is not malfunc-
tioning. If the warning light does not
illuminate, stays illuminated or illumi-
nates when the vehicle is being driven,
we recommend the pre-tensioner seat
belts and/or SRS air bags be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
✽NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front passen-
ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be
activated in certain frontal collisions.
• 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 passenger
compartment. These are normal oper-
ating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.

Additional seat belt safety pre-
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used dur-
ing pregnancy. The best way to protect
your unborn child is to protect yourself by
always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear a
lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoul-
der belt across the chest, routed away
from the neck. Place the lap belt below
the belt line so that it fits snugly and as
low as possible across the hips, not
across the abdomen.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices, includ-
ing booster seats. The age at which seat
belts can be used instead of child
restraints differs among countries, so you
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your country, and where you are
travelling. Infant and child restraints must
be properly placed and installed in a rear
seat. For more information refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child restraint
system, make sure that it has a label cer-
tifying that it meets Safety Standard of
your country. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to
“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are too
large for a booster seat must always
occupy the rear seat and use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt
should lie across the upper thighs and be
snug across the shoulder and chest to
restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. In the event of an
accident, children are safest when they
are seated in the rear seat and restrained
by the seat belts or by a child restraint
system.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to an unborn child during
an accident, pregnant women
should NEVER place the lap por-
tion of the seat belt above or over
the area of the abdomen where the
unborn child is located.
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child
restraint appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to a child and other pas-
sengers, NEVER hold a child in
your lap or arms when the vehicle
is moving. The violent forces creat-
ed during an accident will tear the
child from your arms and throw the
child against the interior of the
vehicle.

319
Safety system of your vehicle
If a larger child over age 13 must be seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat.Transporting an injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific recom-
mendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of
your restraint system (seat belts and/or
air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve the
maximum effectiveness of the restraint
system, all passengers should be sitting
up and the front and rear seats should be
in an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide prop-
er protection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front or rear seats
are in a reclined position.
WARNING
• Always make sure children are
wearing their seat belts and that
they are properly adjusted before
driving.
• NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.
• Do not allow more than one child
to use a single seat belt.
WARNING
• NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
• Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
• Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the
seatbacks upright.

Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri-
odically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle
has been involved in an accident. This
should be done even if no damage is vis-
ible. We recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS)
Children under age 13 must always ride
in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the risk of
injury in an accident, sudden stop or sud-
den maneuver. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when proper-
ly restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Even with air bags, children
can be seriously injured or killed.
Children too large for a child restraint
must use the seat belts provided.Most countries have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices. The
laws governing the age or height/weight
restrictions at which seat belts can be
used instead of child restraints differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are travel-
ling.
Child restraint systems must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. You
must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country.
Child restraint systems are generally
designed to be secured in a vehicle seat
by lap belt or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt in the rear seats of the
vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-facing
or forward-facing CRS that has first been
properly secured to the rear seat of the
vehicle. Read and comply with the
instructions for installation and use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the child
restraint.WARNING
Always properly restrain children in
the rear seats of the vehicle.
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 inflat-
ing air bag resulting in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH.
WARNING
An improperly secured child
restraint can increase the risk of
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH in an
accident. Always take the following
precautions when using a child
restraint system:
• NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat.
• Always properly secure the child
restraint to a rear seat of the vehi-
cle.
• Always follow the child restraint
system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.

Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
• Make sure the CRS has a label certify-
ing that it meets applicable Safety
Standards of your country.
• Select a child restraint system based
on your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
• Select a child restraint system that fits
the vehicle seating position where it
will be used.
• Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and use
provided with the child restraint system.
Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing seats, for-
ward-facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child seats
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat can result in SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH if the child
restraint is struck by an inflating air
bag.
(Continued)
• Always properly restrain your
child in the child restraint.
• Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks“ over
a seatback, it may not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
• After an accident, we recommend
a HYUNDAI dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belts,
ISOFIX lower anchorages and top-
tether anchorages.
