If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches 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 a child restraint system.
Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda
tions.
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 acci
dent.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve 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 proper pro
tection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front and rear
seats are in a reclined position.
Shoulder belts on small children
•Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s neck
or face while the vehicle is in
motion.
•If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on children,
there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the safety
belt over the area of the abdomen
where the fetus is located or
above the abdomen where the
belt could crush the fetus during
an impact.
WARNING

"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replace
d
immediately.
WARNING
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
tion, 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
periodically 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 should
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 inuse seat belt assembly
or assemblies should be replaced if
the vehicle has been involved in an
accident. This should be done even if
no damage is visible. If you have
additional questions regarding seat
belt operation, we recommend that
you consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your risk of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli
sion or sudden stop. The protec
tion of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against
your hips and chest to work prop
erly. The more the seatback is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an occupant's hips will slide
under the lap belt ca
using serious
internal injuries or the occupant's
neck could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.
WARNING

2
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat.
Larger children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts pro
vided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant safety seats 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
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by the
lap belt portion of a lap\fshoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured. For small children
and babies, a child seat or infant seat
must be used. Before buying a par ticular child
restraint system, make sure it fits
your car seat and seat belts, and fits
your child. Follow all the instructions
provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.

•A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on
the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passengerside air
bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat.
Thus only use a child restraint in
the rear seat of your vehicle.
•A seat belt or child restraint sys
tem can become very hot if it is
left in a cl

osed vehicle on a
sunny day, even if the outside
temperature does not feel hot.
Be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug
gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
•Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even those
too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.

2
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

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 in
serious 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.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.
•Never leave children unattended
in 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 same seat
belt.
•Children often squirm and reposi
tion themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper
ly position and secure children in
rear seat.(Continued)
(Continued)
•Never allow a child to standup 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 seri
ous injury.
•Never use an infant carrier or a
child 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 ca
r is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten
ing them over a child.
•After an accident, we recom
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.

Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the
use of a child seat or infant seat is
required. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for
the child and should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system is used
in the rear seats.

Forwardfacing child restraint system
Rearwardfacing child restraint system
Never place a rearfacing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that
an inflating passengerside air bag
could impact the rearfacing child
restraint and kill the child.
WARNING
Child seat installation
•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 properly restrained in
the child restraint. Before
installing the child restraint sys
tem, read the instructions sup
plied by the child restraint sys
tem manufacturer.
•If the seat belt does not operate
as described in this section, we
recommend that the system be
ch

ecked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Failure to observe this manual's
instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the risk and\for severity of injury
in an accident.

How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side col
lision in order to help protect the
occupants 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
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment\f inflation signal.
• Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin
ing, 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 com
partments after the collision.
• 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 occu
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life
threatening injuries in a severe col
lision 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 bro
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.•Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro
vided in order to minimize 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
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•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.
WARNING


"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

• There are even circumstancesunder 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.Noise and smoke
When 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 ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath
ing 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\for 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
with the doctor if the symptom per
sists.
•To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi
ble. 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.
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and\for instrument panel
and\for 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 compo
nents immediately after an air bag
has inflated.
