Securing a child restraint system
with “ISOFIX” system and “TetherAnchorage” system (if equipped)ISOFIX is a standardised method of fit-
ting child seats that eliminates the need
to 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
ECE-R 44. There are ISOFIX 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.

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 for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
 The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.

Safety features of your vehicle
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 with
the ISOFIX icon.
For installation, CRS ISOFIX connecters
have to engage with the vehicles ISOFIX
anchorages (listen for a CLICK, check
potential visual indicators on the CRS
and cross-check by pulling).
CRS with universal approval to ECE-R
44 need to be fixed additionally with a top
tether strap connected to the correspon-
ding top tether anchorage point in the
back rest.The installing and the use of a child-seat
has to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is added to the
ISOFIX-seat.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat fully
rearward against the seatback with
the seatback reclined two positions
from the most upright latched posi-
tion.
OLM039053N
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 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.
 Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also make sure
that the seat belt is not caught in
the lower anchors.

3To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seat to
the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child
restraint seat latch into the ISOFIX
anchor. Listen for the audible “click”
sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat. (Refer to the previ-
ous page.)
(Continued)
 Do not mount more than onechild restraint to a child restraint
lower anchorage point. The
improper increased load may
cause the anchorage points or
tether anchor to break, causing
serious injury or death.
 Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com- patible child restraint seat only to
the appropriate locations shown
in the illustration.
 Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child
restraint.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt web-bing to get scratched or pinched by the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIXanchor during installation.
WARNING
 Do not install a child restraint seat at the centre of the rear seat
using the vehicle's ISOFIX
anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are
only provided for the left and
right outboard rear seating posi-
tions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX
anchors by attempting to attach a
child restraint seat in the middle
of the rear seat to the ISOFIX
anchors.
In a crash, the child restraint seat
ISOFIX attachments may not be
strong enough to secure the child
restraint seat properly in the cen-
tre of the rear seat and may
break, causing serious injury or
death.

WARNING
 Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimise the
risk and severity of injury in the
event of a collision or rollover.
 SRS and pretensioners contain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and pretensioners
from a vehicle, it may cause fire.
Before scraping a vehicle, we rec-
ommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
 Keep the SRS parts and wirings away from water or any liquid. If
the SRS components are inoper-
ative due to exposure to water or
liquids, it may cause fire or
severe injury.

3How does the air bag system
operate  Air bags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON or START position.
 Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side air bag or curtain air
bag) in order to help protect the occu-
pants from serious physical injury.
 There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a colli-
sion and its direction. These two factors
determine whether the sensors produce
an electronic deployment/ inflation sig-
nal.
 Air bag deployment depends on a num- ber of factors including vehicle speed,
angles of impact and the density and
stiffness of the vehicles or objects which
your vehicle hits in the collision. The
determining, factors are not limited to
those mentioned above.
 The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see the
air bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply see
the deflated air bags hanging out of their
storage compartments after the collision. In addition to inflating in serious side col-
lisions, vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor, side and curtain air bags will
inflate if the sensing system detects a
rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain air
bags will remain inflated longer to help
provide protection from ejection, espe-
cially when used in conjunction with the
seat belts.
 In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must inflate
rapidly. The speed of air bag inflation is a
consequence of extremely short time in
which a collision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occupant
and the vehicle structures before the
occupant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk of seri-
ous or life-threatening injuries in a severe
collision and is thus a necessary part of
air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also causes
the air bags to expand with a great deal
of force.  There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.
WARNING
 To avoid severe personal injuryor death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possible
(at least (10 inches) 250 mm
away). The front passenger should
always move their seat as far
back as possible and sit back in
their seat.
 Air bag inflates instantly in an event of a collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
a proper position.
 Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.

Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smokeWhen the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis-
comfort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint on the front passenger seat
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof rails
above the front and rear doors are
very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the air bag storage areas
internal components immediately
after an air bag has inflated.
