Driver’s seat
•Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri
ous injury, or property damage.
•Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
co

llision.
•Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle.
Rear seatbacks
•The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a sudden
stop or collision.
•Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
•When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it is
securely latched by pushing it for
ward and backwards.
•To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control
d

evices beneath this floor gener
ate high temperatures.
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.

Removal (if equipped)
To remove the headrest, raise it as far
as it can go then press the release
button (1) while pulling upward (2).To reinstall the headrest, put the
headrest poles (3) into the holes
while pressing the release button (1).
Then adjust it to the appropriate
height.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions)
may be folded to facilitate carrying
long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle. 1. Set the front seatback to the
upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Insert the rear lap\fshoulder belt plate into the holder on the side
trim. It will prevent the lap\fshoulder
belt from interfering with the seat
back when folding.
•Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving as
this is not a proper seating posi
tion and no seat belts are avail
able for use. This could result in
serious injury or death in case of
an accident or sudden stop.
•Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause
in

jury or damage during sudden
stops.
WARNING
OIB034010
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to prop
erly protect the occupants.

When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replace
d
immediately.
WARNING
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 should
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 inuse 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. If you have
additional questions regarding seat
belt operation, we recommend that
you consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your risk of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli
sion or sudden stop. The protec
tion of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against
your hips and chest to work prop
erly. The more the seatback is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an occupant's hips will slide
under the lap belt ca
using serious
internal injuries or the occupant's
neck could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.

Additional safety precautions
• Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded
down back seat.
All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor.
• Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi
cle is moving.
A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a
crash or emergency stop can be
thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
• Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant.
If more than
one person uses the same seat
belt, they could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
• Do not use any accessories on
seat belts.
Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash. •
Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them
selves and the air bags.
Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap
or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an air bag inflates.
• Keep occupants away from the air
bag
covers.
All
occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats
with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor. If occupants are
too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
• Do not attach or place objects on
or near the air bag covers.
Any
object attached to or placed on the
front or side impact air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
• Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint system
sensing components or side impact air bags. •
Do not place items under the front
seats.
Placing items under the
front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo
nents and wiring harnesses.
• Never hold an infant or child on your
lap.
The infant or child could be seri
ously injured or killed in the event of
a crash. All infants and children
should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or
seat belts in the rear seat.
•Sitting improperly or out of posi
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc
ture or be thrown from the vehi
cle resulting in serious injury or
death.
•Always sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen
tered on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.
