•Always check that the fuel cap
is  installed  securely  to  pre-
vent  fuel  spillage  in  the  event
of an accident.
WA R N I N G    
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL.
The  use  of  leaded  fuel  is  detri-
mental to the catalytic converter
and  will  damage  the  engine
control system’s oxygen sensor
and affect emission control.
Never  add  any  fuel  system
cleaning  agents  to  the  fuel  tank
other than what has been spec-
ified. We  recommend  that  you
consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer for details.

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.

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.
