Make sure the engine is off, the
shift lever is in P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
WA R N I N G
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, as they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit vehicle
occupants in a collision caus-
ing serious injury or death.
WA R N I N G
When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.

This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when
using seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are
designed to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, but
they are not a substitute. Most coun-
tries require all occupants of a vehicle
to wear seat belts.
SSEEAATT BBEELLTTSS
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting and
wearing seat belts:
•ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
•NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must be
seated in the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble and properly restrain them
in the seat.
•NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’s
lap.
•NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
•Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G (Continued)
•Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage them.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
•Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
•Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
•NEVER unfasten the seat belt
whilst driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
•Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.

Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Australian/New
Zealand standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it
meets the requirements of the
Australian/New Zealand standards.
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 available 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 periodical-
ly. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem and/or seat belts in the rear
seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
•Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•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.

Children always in the rear
seat
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min-
imise the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children
to travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems. The laws governing the
age or height/weight restrictions at
which seat belts can be used instead
of Child Restraint Systems differs
between countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are trav-
elling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available Child Restraint
System that meets the requirements
of the Australian/New Zealand stan-
dards.
Child Restraint Systems are general-
ly designed to be secured in a vehi-
cle seat by lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt and a
top tether anchorage, or by ISOFIX
lower anchorages and a top tether
anchorage, in the rear seats of the
vehicle.
CCHHIILLDD RREESSTTRRAAIINNTT SSYYSSTTEEMM ((CCRRSS))
Always properly restrain chil-
dren in the rear seats of the
vehicle, unless the air bag on
the front passenger seat is
deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front pas-
senger seat can be forcefully
struck by an inflating air bag
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH.

Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear seat
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rearward-
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 provided by the manufacturer
of the Child Restraint System.
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
•Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets the require-
ments of the Australian/New
Zealand standards.
•Select a Child Restraint System
based on your child’s height and
weight. The required label or the
instructions for use typically pro-
vide this information.
•Select a Child Restraint System
that fits the vehicle seating position
where it will be used.
•Read and comply with the warn-
ings and instructions for installation
and use provided with the Child
Restraint System.

•Always follow the Child
Restraint System manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use.
•Always properly restrain your
child in the Child Restraint
System.
•Do not use an infant carrier or
a child safety seat that
“hooks” over a seatback, it
may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.
•After an accident, we recom-
mend a HYUNDAI dealer
check the Child Restraint
System, seat belts, ISOFIX
anchorages and top-tether
anchorages.

Safety system of your vehicle
After selecting a proper Child
Restraint System and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits prop-
erly in the rear of this vehicle, you are
ready to install the Child Restraint
System according to the manufactur-
er’s instruction. There are three gen-
eral steps in installing the Child
Restraint Systems properly:
1.Properly secure the Child
Restraint System to the vehicle.
All Child Restraints must be
secured to the vehicle with the lap
belt or lap part of a lap/shoulder
belt and a top tether anchorage, or
with the ISOFIX lower anchorage
(if equipped) and top-tether
anchorage.
2.Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured.After
installing a Child Restraint System
to the vehicle, push and pull the
seat forward and from side-to-side
to verify that it is securely attached
to the seat. A Child Restraint
System secured with a seat belt
should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected.
When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat (up
and down, forward and rearward)
so that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a comfortable
manner.
3.Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System.Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the
Child Restraint System according
to the Child Restraint System man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
A Child Restraint System in a
closed vehicle can become very
hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.

ISOFIX anchorage and
top-tether anchorage
(ISOFIX anchorages system)
for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and
in an accident. This system is
designed to make installation of the
Child Restraint System easier and
reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system uses
anchors in the vehicle and attach-
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the
need to use seat belts to secure the
Child Restraint System to the rear
seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars
built into the vehicle. There are two
lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-
ing position that will accommodate a
Child Restraint System with lower
attachments.
To u s e t h e I S O F I X s y s t e m i n y o u r
vehicle, you must have a Child
Restraint System with ISOFIX attach-
ments.(An ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem may only be installed if it has vehi-
cle-specific or universal approval in
accordance with the requirements of
relevant regulations.)
The Child Restraint System manu-
facturer will provide you with instruc-
tions on how to use the Child
Restraint System with its attach-
ments for the ISOFIX anchorages.ISOFIX anchorages have been pro-
vided in the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Their locations
are shown in the illustration. There
are no ISOFIX anchorages provided
for the centre rear seating position.
