Seatback angle
B3000202
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of
your restraint system (seat belts and/or
airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
WARNING NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases
your chance of serious or fatal injuries in
the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks upright.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips
and chest to work properly. When the
seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt
cannot do its job because it will not be snug against your chest. Instead, it will be
in front of you. 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.
Seat height
To change the height of the seat cushion:
B3000203

Power adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control the
steering wheel, foot pedals and controls
on the instrument panel.

Seatback pocket
B3000222
The seatback pocket is provided on the
back of the front seatbacks.
CAUTION Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the
seatback pockets. In an accident they
could come loose from the pocket and
injure occupants.
Rear Seats
WARNING Take the following precautions:
• Folding the seats
- Do not fold the seatback when the seat is occupied (for example,
passenger, pets or luggage). It may
injure the passenger or pet, or
damage the luggage.
- Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available 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 seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
- When returning the rear seatback from a folded to an upright position,
hold the seatback and return it
slowly. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of the
seatback. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback could
allow cargo to move forward with
great force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
- When folding the seatback, slightly push the seatback or head restraint
against the folding direction to
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 9
Page 104 of 582
Seats & Safety System
3-10
control the folding speed. Without
the push, the seatback may abruptly
fold down and cause injuries when
the lever is pulled.
• Loading cargo - Make sure the vehicle is off, the gear shifted to P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure to
take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift button or
shift dial is inadvertently pressed or
rotated to another position.
- When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
• Do not place objects in the rear seats since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or
death.
CAUTION Do not allow your hands or fingers to get
caught in the seat mechanisms while
adjusting the seats.

seat forward.
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position.

Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats have
adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in a
rear impact collision.
WARNING To help reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
• Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraint removed or reversed.
• Adjust the head restraints so the middle of the head restraint is at the same
height as the height of the top of the
eyes.
OHI039190N
• NEVER adjust the head restraint position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.

• Adjust the head restraint as close to the passenger’s head as possible. Do not
use a seat cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
• Make sure the head restraint locks into position after adjusting it.
WARNING When sitting on the rear seat, do not
adjust the height of the head restraint to
the lowest position.
B3000310
