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 fron-
tal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the air bags.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint is
not properly anchored to the car, in-
cluding setting the retractor to the
Automatic Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
Should an accident occur and cause
the passenger side air bag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an infant
or child seated in an infant or child
seat. Therefore, only use a child re-
straint system in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tems, refer to safety notices for Cur-
tain Air Bag systems beginning on
page 1-58 this manual. Whenever in-
stalling child restraints, use only ap-
proved devices and refer to the "Child
Restraint System" section to ensure
correct installation and occupant pro-
tection is maximized.
Also, double check to be sure that the
retractor has engaged the Automatic Lock-
ing feature by trying to extend webbing out
of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be
locked. After installation of the child re-
straint system, try to move it in all directions
to be sure the child restraint system is se-
curely installed. If you need to tighten the
belt, pull more webbing toward the retrac-
tor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and
allow it to retract, the retractor will automati-
cally revert back to its normal seated pas-
senger Emergency Locking usage condi-
tion.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system in any seating position, read
the instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
