Seat Belts
This section describes how to use the seat
belts properly. It also describes some of
the things not to do when using seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Airbags
are designed to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, not a
replacement. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.
WARNING Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:
• Children under the age of 13 should be properly restrained in the rear seats.
• Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat, unless the airbag is
deactivated. If a child is seated in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible. And the child must
always be restrained in the seat
properly.
• NEVER allow an infant or child to be carried on an occupant’s lap.
• NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is moving.
• Do not allow children to share a seat or seat belt.
• Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
• NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted. A twisted seat belt will not protect you
properly in an accident.
• Do not use a seat belt if the webbing or hardware is damaged. • Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.
• NEVER unfasten the seat belt while driving. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
• Make sure there is nothing in the buckle interfering with the seat belt latch
mechanism, because any materials in
the buckle can cause the seat belt not
to be fastened securely.
• No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either
prohibit the seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove slack, or
prohibit the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.

WARNING Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:
• Frayed, contaminated, or damaged webbing.
• Damaged hardware.
• The entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in an accident, even if
damage to webbing or assembly is not
apparent.

Seat Belt Restraint System
WARNING
B3001505
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury in an
accident. Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
• Position the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible across your hips, not
on your waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones to
absorb the force of the crash, reducing
the chance of internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 21

Seats & Safety System
3-22
• Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face.

B3001504
Pull it out of the retractor and insert the
metal tab (1) into the buckle (2). An
audible “click” sounds when the tab locks
into the buckle. Make sure the seat belt is
not twisted.
B3001501
Place the lap belt (1) portion across your
hips and the shoulder belt (2) portion
across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length after the lap belt portion is
adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips.
If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion,
the belt extends and moves with you.If
there is a sudden stop or collision, the belt is locked in place. It also locks if you try to
lean forward too quickly.
Information If you cannot smoothly pull the seat belt out
from the retractor, firmly pull the seat belt out
and release it. After release, the belt may be
pulled out smoothly.

Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of the four different

audible “click” sounds when the tab locks
into the buckle. Pull the shoulder portion
of the belt to snug the belt across your
hips and remove slack. Make sure the seat
belt is not twisted. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt automatically
adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly across your
hips.When the seat belt has been fully
extended from the retractor to allow for
the installation of a child restraint system,
the seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type). For
more information, refer to the “Child
Restraint System (CRS)” section in this
chapter.
To release your seat belt:
B3001507_1

buckle.
The belt should automatically draw back
into the retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt is not twisted, then try
again.
Information • The emergency locking mode allows seated
passengers to move freely in their seats
while keeping some tension on the belt.
During a collision or sudden stop, the
retractor automatically locks the belt to help
restrain the passengers.
• To deactivate the automatic locking mode, unbuckle the seat belt and allow the belt to
fully retract.

Pretensioner seat belt
B3001601(1) Retractor Pretensioner
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and
front passenger’s and rear passengers
Pretensioner Seat Belts (Retractor
Pretensioner). The purpose of the
pretensioner is to make sure the seat
belts fit tightly against the occupant’s
body in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The Retractor Pretensioner may be
activated in certain crashes where the
frontal collision(s) is severe enough.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain frontal or side
collision(s), the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant’s body.
If the system senses excessive tension on
the driver or passenger’s seat belt when
the pretensioner system activates, the
load limiter inside the retractor
pretensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
WARNING • Always wear your seat belt and sit properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is loose or twisted. A loose or twisted seat belt will
not protect you properly in an accident.
• Do not place anything near the buckle. This may adversely affect the buckle
and cause it to function improperly.

• Always replace your pretensioners after activation or an accident.
• NEVER inspect, service, repair or replace the pretensioners yourself.
Have the pretensioners inspected,
serviced, repaired or replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.

WARNING Do not touch the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after they
have been activated. When the
pretensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pretensioner can become hot and can
burn you.

CAUTION Body work on the front area of the vehicle
may damage the pretensioner seat belt
system. Therefore, have the system
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Information • Pretensioner seat belts may be activated in certain frontal or side collisions or rollover
situations.
• When the pretensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard and
fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be
inhaled for prolonged periods. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pretensioner seat belts
were activated.

Additional Seat Belt Safety
Precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear a
lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoulder
belt across your chest, routed between
your breasts and away from your neck.
Place the lap belt below your belly so that
it fits SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of the belly.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should NEVER
place the lap portion of the seat belt
above or over the area of the abdomen
where the unborn child is located.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most states have Child Restraint System
laws which require children to travel in
approved Child Restraint System devices,
including booster seats. The age at which
seat belts can be used instead of Child
Restraint System differs among states, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling. Infant and Child
Restraint System must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint System (CRS)” section in this
chapter.
WARNING ALWAYS properly restrain infants and
small children in a Child Restraint System
appropriate for the child’s height and
weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms
when the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will tear
the child from your arms and throw the
child against the interior of the vehicle.

Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. For more
information, refer to the “Child Restraint
System (CRS)” section in this chapter.
