Seats & Safety System
3-26
Information • Pretensioner seat belts may be activated in certain frontal or side collisions or rollover
situations.
• When the pretensioner 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 operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be
inhaled for prolonged periods. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pretensioner seat belts
were activated.

Additional Seat Belt Safety
Precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during 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 shoulder
belt across your chest, routed between
your breasts and away from your neck.
Place the lap belt below your belly so that
it fits SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of the belly.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should NEVER
place the lap portion of the seat belt
above or over the area of the abdomen
where the unborn child is located.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most states have Child Restraint System
laws which require children to travel in
approved Child Restraint System devices,
including booster seats. The age at which
seat belts can be used instead of Child
Restraint System differs among states, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling. Infant and Child
Restraint System must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint System (CRS)” section in this
chapter.
WARNING ALWAYS properly restrain infants and
small children in a Child Restraint System
appropriate for the child’s height and
weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms
when the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will tear
the child from your arms and throw the
child against the interior of the vehicle.

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
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. For more
information, refer to the “Child Restraint
System (CRS)” section in this chapter.

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
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage is
visible. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Child Restraint System
(CRS)
Children Always in the Rear
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
inflating airbag resulting in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH.

Children under age 13 should always ride
in the rear seats 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. Even with
airbags, children can be seriously injured
or killed. Children too large for a Child
Restraint System must use the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint 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 System differs among states, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling.
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
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).
Child Restraint Systems are generally
designed to be secured in a vehicle seat
by lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt,

or by a LATCH system in the rear seats of
the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate
rearward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured to the
seat of the vehicle. Read and comply with
the instructions for installation and use
provided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
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 vehicle.
• Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
• Always properly restrain your child in the child restraint.
• If the vehicle head restraint prevents proper installation of a child seat (as
described in the child restraint system
manual), the head restraint of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.
• 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, have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belts, tether
anchors and lower anchors.

Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a Child Restraint System
for your child, always:
• Make sure the Child Restraint System has a label certifying that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).
• 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: rearward-facing,
forward-facing and booster Child
Restraint Systems.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rearward-facing Child Restraint System
B3002201
A rearward-facing Child Restraint System
provides restraint with the seating
surface against the back of the child. The
harness system holds the child in place,
and in an accident, acts to keep the child
positioned in the Child Restraint Systems
