Pre-tensioner seat belt (Driver and front passenger) Retractor Pre-tensioner Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's Pre-tensioner Seat Belts. The purpose of the pre- tensioner is to make sure the seat belts fit tightly against the occupant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti- vated in crashes where the frontal col- lision is severe enough, together with the air bags. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. In certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.

Seat belt use and children Infant and small children Most countries have child restraint laws which require children to travel in approved child restraint devices, including booster seats. The age at which seat belts can be used instead of child restraints differs among countries, so you should be aware of the specific requirements in your country, and where you are travel- ling. Infant and child restraints must be properly placed and installed in a rear seat. For more information refer to the “Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
WARNING
for
ALWAYS properly restrain infants and small children in a child restraint appropriate 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 acci- dent will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the interior of the vehicle.
Additional seat belt safety pre- cautions 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, rout- ed 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, preg- nant 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.
2-33
WARNING
• 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.
Safety system of your vehicle
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 Safety Standards of your country. Before buying any child restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets Safety Standard of your country. 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.
2-34
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 shoul- der and chest to restrain the child safely. Check belt fit periodically. 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 system 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 center 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.
Seat belt use and injured people A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. Consult a physician for specific rec- ommendations.
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 accident.
Do not lie down Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dan- gerous. Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback. Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. During an accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other injuries. The more the seatback is reclined, the greater chance the passenger’s hips will slide under the lap belt or the passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder belt.
WARNING
• NEVER ride with a reclined seatback when the vehicle is moving.
• Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of seri- ous or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
• Driver and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.
2-35
When to replace seat belts The entire seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been involved in an acci- dent. This should be done even if no damage is visible. We recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Safety system of your vehicle
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 can be cleaned by using a mild soap solu- tion and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS) Children always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain chil- dren 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 pas- senger seat can be forcefully struck by an inflating air bag resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Children under age 13 must always ride in the rear seats and must always be properly restrained to min- imize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, chil- dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Even with air bags, children can be seriously injured or killed. Children too large for a child restraint must use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have child restraint laws which require children to travel in approved child restraint devices. The laws governing the age or height/weight restrictions at which seat belts can be used instead of child restraints differs among coun- tries, so you should be aware of the specific requirements in your coun- try, and where you are travelling. 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 Safety Standards of your country. Child restraint systems are generally designed to be secured in a vehicle seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top- tether anchorage and/or ISOFIX lower anchorage in the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS) always in the rear Infants and younger children must be restrained in an appropriate rear-fac- ing 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.
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 passen- ger’s seat.
• Always properly secure the child restraint to a rear seat of the vehicle.
(Continued)
2-37
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 applicable Safety Standards of your country. • Select a child restraint based on your child’s height and weight. The required label or the instructions for use typically provide this infor- mation.
• Select a child restraint 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.
Child restraint system types There are three main types of child restraint systems: rear-facing seats, forward-facing seats, and booster seats. They are classified according to the child’s age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child restraints
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant restraint in the front passen- ger’s seat. Placing a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat can result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if the child restraint is struck by an inflating air bag.
Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued) • Always
follow
the child restraint system manufactur- er’s instructions for installa- tion and use.
• Always properly restrain your
child in the child restraint.
• Do not use an infant carrier or that a child safety seat it “hooks” over a seatback, may not provide adequate protection in an accident.
• After an accident, we recom- mend a HYUNDAI dealer check the child restraint sys- tem, seat belts, ISOFIX lower anchorages and top-tether anchorages.
2-38
Keep using restraints in the rear-fac- ing position as long as children fit within the height and weight limits allowed by the child restraint’s manu- facturer. It’s the best way to keep them safe. Once your child has outgrown the rear-facing child restraint, your child is ready for a forward-facing child restraint with a harness.
ODH033062
Forward-facing child restraints A forward-facing child restraint pro- vides restraint for the child’s body with a harness. Keep children in a forward- facing child restraint with a harness until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your child restraint’s manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward- facing child restraint, your child is ready for a booster seat.
2-39
OLMB033041
A rear-facing child restraint provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the child. The har-
ness system holds the child in place,
and in an accident, acts to keep the
child positioned in the restraint and
reduce the stress to the fragile neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing child
restraint. There are different types of
rear-facing child restraints: infant-only
seats can only be used rear-facing.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child restraints
typically have higher height and
weight limits for the rear-facing posi-
tion, allowing you to keep your child
rear-facing for a longer period of time.
Safety system of your vehicle
Booster seats A booster seat is a restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster seat positions the seat belt so that it fits properly over the stronger parts of your child’s body. Keep your children in booster seats until they are big enough to fit in a seat belt properly. For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt must lie snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should lie snug across the shoul- der and chest and not across the neck or face. Children under age 13 must always ride in the rear seats and must always be properly restrained to mini- mize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver.

Installing a Child Restraint System (CRS)
WARNING
installing your child
Before restraint always: • Read and follow the instruc- tions provided by the manu- facturer of the child restraint. • Read and follow the instruc- tions regarding child restraint systems in this manual.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could increase the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents proper installation of a child seat (as described in the child seat system manual), the head- rest of the respective seating position shall be readjusted or entirely removed.
After selecting a proper child restraint and checking that the child restraint fits properly in the rear of this vehicle, you are ready to install the child restraint according to the manufacturer’s instruction. There are three general steps in installing the seat properly: • Properly secure the child restraint to the vehicle. All child restraints must be secured to the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoul- der belt or with the ISOFIX top-teth- er anchorage and/or ISOFIX lower anchorage (if equipped).
• Make sure the child restraint is firmly secured. After installing a child restraint 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 secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, some side-to- side movement can be expected.
• Secure the child in the child restraint. Make sure the child is properly strapped the child restraint according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
in
WARNING
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can become very hot. To prevent burns, check the seat- ing surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint.
The child restraint manufacturer will provide you with instructions on how to use the child restraint with its attachments for the ISOFIX lower anchorages.
ISOFIX lower anchorage and top-tether anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages system) for children (if equipped) The ISOFIX system holds a child restraint during driving and in an acci- dent. This system is designed to make installation of the child restraint easier and reduce the possibility of improperly installing your child restraint. The ISOFIX system uses anchors in the vehicle and attach- ments on the child restraint. The ISOFIX system eliminates the need to use seat belts to secure the child restraint to the rear seats. Lower anchors are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each ISOFIX seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments. To use the ISOFIX system in your vehicle, you must have a child restraint with ISOFIX attachments. (An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed if it has vehicle-specific or universal approval in accordance with the requirements of ECE-R 44.)
2-41
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a child restraint system using ISOFIX lower anchorages in the rear cen- ter seating position. There are no ISOFIX lower anchorages provid- ed for this seat. Using the out- board seat anchorages can dam- age the anchorages which may break or fail in a collision result- ing in serious injury or death.

ISOFIX lower anchorages have been
provided in the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Their locations
are shown in the illustration. There
are no ISOFIX lower anchorages pro-
vided for the center rear seating posi-
tion.
2-42
Both rear outboard seats are equipped with a pair of ISOFIX lower anchorages as well as a correspon- ding top-tether anchorage on the back side of the rear seats. (CRS with universal approval to ECE- R44 need to be fixed additionally with a top-tether strap connected to the corresponding top-tether anchorage point on the back side of the rear seats.) ISOFIX lower anchorages are locat- ed between the seatback and the seat cushion of the rear seat left and right outboard seating positions.
Securing a child restraint with the “ISOFIX Anchorages System” To install a ISOFIX-compatible child restraint in either of the rear outboard seating positions: 1. Move the seat belt buckle away from the ISOFIX lower anchorages. 2. Move any other objects away from the anchors that could prevent a secure connection between the child restraint and the ISOFIX lower anchorages.
3. Place the child restraint on the vehi- cle seat, then attach the seat to the ISOFIX lower anchorages accord- ing to the instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instruc- tions for properly adjusting and tightening the lower attachments on the child restraint to the ISOFIX lower anchorages.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when using the ISOFIX system: • Read and follow all installation instructions provided with your child restraint system.
• To prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts, buckle all unused rear seat belts and retract the seat belt webbing behind the child. Children can be strangled if a shoulder belt becomes wrapped around their neck and the seat belt tightens.
• NEVER attach more than one child restraint to a single anchorage. This could cause the anchor or attachment to come loose or break.
• Always have the ISOFIX sys- tem inspected by your dealer after an accident. An accident can damage the ISOFIX sys- tem and may not properly secure the child restraint.

• Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers must always wear the safety belts provided in order to minimize the risk and severity of injury in the event of a collision or rollover.
• SRS and pre-tensioners con-
tain explosive chemicals. If scraping a vehicle without removing SRS and pre-ten- sioners from a vehicle, it may cause fire. Before scraping a vehicle, we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued) • Keep
the SRS parts and wirings away from water or any liquid. If the SRS components are inoperative due to expo- sure to water or liquids, it may cause fire or severe injury.
Vehicles are equipped with a Supplemental Air Bag System for the driver’s seat, front passenger’s seats and/or rear seats. The front air bags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For these air bags to provide protection, the seat belts must be worn at all times when driving. You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a seat belt. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, but do not replace them. Also, air bags are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, the seat belts are the only restraint protecting you.
WARNING
AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag inflates. NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front passenger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing serious or fatal injuries. ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as possible. All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi- tion, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com- fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries. You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console. Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers allow at least 25 cm (10 in) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.

Where are the air bags? Driver’s and passenger’s front air bags Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and passenger seating positions. The SRS consists of air bags which are located in the center of the steer- ing wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The air bags are labeled with the let- ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
■ Driver’s front air bag
■ Driver's knee air bag
ODH033030
■ Passenger’s front air bag
ODH033031
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and front passen- gers with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt system alone in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating front air bags, take the following precautions: • Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.
• Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or
center console.
(Continued)
2-52
ODH033032
(Continued) • Do not allow the front passen- ger to place their feet or legs on the dashboard.
• Do not allow the passenger to ride in the front seat when the front passenger’s air bag OFF indicator is illuminated.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag mod- ules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box. Such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the air bags to deploy.
Side air bags (if equipped)
ODH033033
ODH033088
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front and outboard rear
seat. The purpose of the air bag is to
provide the vehicle’s driver and/or the
front and outboard rear passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. For vehicles equipped with a rollover sensor the side and/or curtain air bags and pre-tensioners on both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or pos- sible rollover is detected. The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover sit- uations.

• Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air bags.
• Do not cause impact to the doors when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position or this may cause the side air bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is damaged, we recommend that the system be serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Curtain air bags (if equipped)
ODH033087
ODH033089
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions. The curtain air bags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. For vehicles equipped with a rollover sensor the side and/or curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or possible rollover is detected. The curtain air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating curtain air bags, take the follow- ing precautions: • All seat occupants must wear seat belts at all times to help keep occupants positioned properly.
• Properly secure child restraints as far away from the door as possible.
• Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors, put their arms on the doors, stretch their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and seats.
• Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.
