C020100AUN-EASeat belt restraint systemThe use of seat belts
reduces the risk ofaccident injury by avoiding collision withthe
interior of the car and by preventingthe occupants from being
thrown out ofthe car.This makes them the most impor-tant safety
feature available for you andyour passengers. Adequate protection
isafforded only when the belt is worn cor-rectly. You should always
fasten andadjust your seatbelts before the car is putin motion and
encourage your passen-gers to do the same.
SEAT BELTS
WARNING For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts mustalways be used whenever the caris
moving.
Seat belts are most effectivewhen seatbacks are in theupright
position.
Children age 12 and youngermust always be properlyrestrained in
the rear seat. Neverallow children to ride in the frontpassenger
seat. If a child over 12must be seated in the front seat,he/she
must be properly beltedand the seat should be moved asfar back as
possible.
Never wear the shoulder beltunder your arm or behind yourback.
An improperly positionedshoulder belt can cause seriousinjuries in
a crash. The shoulderbelt should be positioned midwayover your
shoulder across yourcollarbone.
(Continued)
(Continued) Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted belt can't do its job aswell. In a collision, it could
evencut into you. Be sure the beltwebbing is straight and not
twist-ed.
Be careful not to damage the beltwebbing or hardware. If the
beltwebbing or hardware is dam-aged, replace it.
WARNINGSeat belts are designed to bearupon the bony structure of
thebody, and should be worn lowacross the front of the pelvis or
thepelvis, chest and shoulders, asapplicable; wearing the lap
sectionof the belt across the abdominalarea must be avoided.Seat
belts should be adjusted asfirmly as possible, consistent
withcomfort, to provide the protectionfor which they have been
designed.A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to
the wearer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMC030000BUN-EAChildren riding in the car
should sit in therear seat and must always be properlyrestrained to
minimise the risk of injury inan accident, sudden stop or
suddenmanoeuvre. According to accident statis-tics, children are
safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seats than in thefront
seat. Larger children not in a childrestraint should use one of the
seat beltsprovided.If the child is old enough to sit alone andthe
car is not equipped with a properchild or infant seat, the child
should beplaced in the rear seat and restrainedwith a lap/sash
belt.You should be aware of the specificrequirements in your
country. Child and/orinfant safety seats must be properlyplaced and
installed in the rear seat. Youmust use a commercially available
childrestraint system that meets the require-ments of the Safety
Standards of yourcountry. Child restraint systems aredesigned to be
secured in vehicle seats bylap belts or the lap belt portion of
alap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchorand/or ISOFIX anchors (if
equipped).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their
restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies,
achild seat or infant seat must be used.Before buying a particular
child restraintsystem, make sure it fits your car seatand seat
belts, and fits your child.
Follow all the instructions provided by themanufacturer when
installing the childrestraint system.
WARNING A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat on
thefront passenger's seat. Should anaccident occur and cause
thepassenger side air bag to deploy,it could severely injure or
kill aninfant or child seated in an infantor child seat. Thus only
use achild restraint in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.
A seat belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it
isleft in a closed vehicle on a sunnyday, even if the outside
tempera-ture does not feel hot. Be sure tocheck the seat cover and
bucklesbefore placing a child there.
When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the
lug-gage area or fasten it with a seatbelt so that it will not be
thrownforward in the case of a suddenstop or an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued) A child restraint system should
be placed in the vehicle's rearseat since this can make
animportant contribution to safety.
Unrestrained children should notbe carried in the car. Holding
achild in your arms is not a satis-factory substitute for a
childrestraint system. A child held inthis manner can be
crushedbetween your body and the interi-or of the car.
Children may be seriously injuredor killed by an inflating air
bag.All children, even those too largefor child restraints, must
ride inthe rear seat.
Before installing Child RestraintSystem to vehicles fitted
withCurtain Airbags, always refer tosafety notices for Curtain

To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seat tothe ISOFIX anchor,
insert the childrestraint seat latch into the ISOFIXanchor. Listen
for the audible clicksound.
2. Connect the attaching clip to the childrestraint hook holder
and tighten tosecure the seat. (Refer to the previouspage.)
WARNINGWhen using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"system to install a
child restraintsystem in the rear seat, all unusedvehicle rear seat
belt metal latchplates or tabs must be latchedsecurely in their
seat belt bucklesand the seat belt webbing must beretracted behind
the child restraintto prevent the child from reachingand taking
hold of unretracted seatbelts. Unlatched metal latch platesor tabs
may allow the child to reachthe unretracted seat belts whichmay
result in strangulation and aserious injury or death to the childin

The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-ments while the ignition
switch is ON todetermine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is
severe enough to require airbag deployment or pre-tensioner
seatbelt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on theinstrument panel will
illuminate for about6 seconds after the ignition switch isturned to
the ON position, after which theair bag warning light should go
out.If any of the following conditions occurs,this indicates a
malfunction of the SRS.Have an authorised HYUNDAI dealerinspect the
air bag system as soon aspossible. The light does not turn on
briefly when
you turn the ignition ON. The light stays on after illuminating
for
approximately 6 seconds. The light comes on while the vehicle
is
in motion.
The air bag modules are located both inthe centre of the
steering wheel and inthe front passenger's panel above theglove
box. When the SRSCM detects asufficiently severe impact to the
front ofthe vehicle, it will automatically deploythe front air

Further opening of the coversthen allows full inflation of the air
bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combinationwith a properly worn
seat belt, slows thedriver's or the passenger's forwardmotion,
reducing the risk of head andchest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bagimmediately starts
deflating, enabling thedriver to maintain forward visibility andthe

Frontal air bags are not designed toinflate in rear collisions,
because occu-pants are moved backward by theforce of the impact. In
this case, inflat-ed air bags would not be able to pro-vide any
additional benefit.
Front air bags may not inflate in sideimpact collisions, because
occupantsmove to the direction of the collision,and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bagdeployment would not provide addi-tional
occupant protection.However, side or curtain air bags mayinflate
depending on the intensity, vehi-cle speed and angles of
impact.
In a slant or angled collision, the forceof impact may direct
the occupants in adirection where the air bags would notbe able to
provide any additional bene-fit, and thus the sensors may notdeploy
any air bags.

Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy
braking lowers thefront portion of the vehicle causing it toride
under a vehicle with a higherground clearance. Air bags may
notinflate in this "under-ride" situationbecause deceleration
forces that aredetected by sensors may be signifi-cantly replaced
by such under-ridecollisions.
Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-dents because air bag
deploymentwould not provide protection to theoccupants.However,
side and/or curtain air bagsmay inflate when the vehicle is
rolledover by a side impact collision, if thevehicle is equipped
with side air bagsand curtain air bags.
Air bags may not inflate if the vehiclecollides with objects

C040900AUNHow does the air bag systemoperate Air bags are
activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignitionswitch is turned to the ON or
STARTposition.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event ofserious frontal or
side collision (ifequipped with side air bag or curtainair bag) in
order to help protect theoccupants from serious physical
injury.
There is no single speed at which theair bags will
inflate.Generally, air bags are designed toinflate by the severity
of a collision andits direction. These two factors deter-mine
whether the sensors send out anelectronic deployment/inflation
signal.
Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including
vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the densi-ty and stiffness of
the vehicles orobjects which your vehicle hits in thecollision.
Though, factors are not limit-ed to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completelyinflate and deflate in an
instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to seethe air bags inflate
during an accident.It is much more likely that you will sim-ply see
the deflated air bags hangingout of their storage compartments
afterthe collision.
In order to help provide protection in asevere collision, the
air bags mustinflate rapidly. The speed of air baginflation is
