Installation on Outboard Rear Seats
On outboard rear
seats
To install a child restraint system in the out-
board rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt
entirely from its retractor until a "click" is felt.
This will engage the seat belt retractor auto-
matic locking feature, which allows the seat belt
to retract but not extend. Install the child re-
straint system, buckle the seat belt and allow
the seat belt to take up any slack. Make sure
that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the
child restraint system and the shoulder portion
of the belt is positioned so that it cannot inter-
fere with the child's head or neck. Also, double
check to be sure that the retractor has engaged
the automatic locking feature by trying to ex-
tend webbing out of the retractor. If the retractor
is in the automatic locking mode, the belt will be
locked. After installation of the child restraint

system, try to move it in all directions to be sure
the child restraint system is securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web-
bing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle
the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor
will automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by
the child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
YR10400B
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in
an infant or child seat. Therefore, only
use a child restraint system in the rear
seat of your vehicle.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts.
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal colli-
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.
