seat belts properly. It also describessome 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 fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed tosupplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not
a substitute. Most countries require
all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
SSEE AA TT BB EELLTT SS
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the followingprecautions when adjusting andwearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in therear seats.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must be
seated in the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble and properly restrain themin the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’slap.
NEVER ride with the seatback

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.
Always wear both the shoul-
der portion and lap portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properlyin an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
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 result-ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

You should place the lap belt (1) por-
tion across your hips and the shoul-
der belt (2) portion across yourchest. 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 will extend and move with
you. If there is a sudden stop or impact,
the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too
quickly.If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from
the retractor, firmly pull the seat
belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the
belt out smoothly.Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt anchor to one of the
three different positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
The shoulder portion should be
adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button(2).

Release the button to lock the

height adjuster to make sure that it
has locked into position.Rear Seat Belt – Passenger's 3-point system with convertible
locking retractor
This type of seat belt combines the
features of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic
locking retractor seat belt. Convertible
retractor type seat belts are installed inthe rear seat positions to help accom-modate the installation of child
restraint systems. Although a convert-
ible retractor is also installed in thefront passenger seat position, NEVER
place any infant/child restraint system
in the front seat of the vehicle.
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buck-
le. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way
as the driver's seat belt (Emergency
Locking Retractor Type). It automati-cally 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 is fully extended
from the retractor to allow the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, the
seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
Refer to the "Using a Child Restraint
System" section in this chapter.

Although the seat belt retractor
provides the same level of protec-
tion for seated passengers in
either emergency or automatic
locking modes, the emergency
locking mode allows seated pas-
sengers to move freely in theirseat while keeping some tension
on the belt. During a collision or
sudden stop, the retractor auto-
matically locks the belt to help
restrain your body.
To deactivate the automatic lock-
ing mode, unbuckle the seat belt
and allow the belt to fully retract.
To release your seat belt:
Press the release button (1) in the
locking buckle. When it is released, the belt should
automatically draw back into the
retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt to be sure it is not twist-
ed, then try again.
Pre-tensioner seat belt (Driver and front passenger)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver'sand front passenger's Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pretensioner
and Emergency Fastening Device
System). The purpose of the pre-ten-
sioner is to make sure the seat beltsfit tightly against the occupant's body
in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The Emergency Fastening Device
System may be activated in certain
crashes where the frontal or side col-
lision(s) is severe enough, together
with the air bags.
NOTICE

OHSS038103

2-30
Safety system of your vehicle
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 orside collision(s), the pre-tensioner
will activate and pull the seat belt intotighter contact against the occu-
pant's body.
(1) Retractor Pretensioner The purpose of the retractor pre-tensioner is to make sure that the shoulder belts fit in tightly againstthe occupant's upper body in cer-tain frontal or side collision(s).
(2) Emergency Fastening DeviceSystem
The purpose of the Emergency Fastening Device System is to
make sure that the pelvis belts fitin tightly against the occupant's
lower body in certain frontal orside collision(s).
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger'sseat belt when the pre-tensioner sys-
tem activates, the load limiter inside
the retractor pre-tensioner willrelease some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated. When the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pre-tensioners become hot and
can burn you.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 pro-
tect you properly in an acci-dent.
Do not place anything near
the buckle. This may adverse-
ly affect the buckle and cause
it to function improperly.
Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or anaccident.
NEVER inspect, service, repair or replace the pre-ten-
sioners yourself. This must be
done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
