The armrest is located in the center of
the rear seat. Pull the armrest down from
the seatback to use it.
To adjust the armrest at a convenient
angle, lower the armrest from the highest
position to the lowest position, and lift it

after fixing, lift the armrest slightly more
than the highest position, then lower it
to the lowest position and adjust while
lift it up.
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.

BURN, even at low temperatures and
especially if used for long periods of
time.

seat is becoming too warm so they can
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:

[Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.

[ People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.

cause drowsiness or sleepiness.

Seats & Safety System3-32
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when the
seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE

and seats:

[ Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline
to clean the seats.

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. Air
bags 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:

[ ALWAYS properly restrain children
under age 13 in the rear seats.

[ 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
possible and properly restrain them
in the seat.

[ 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.

[ Always wear both the shoulder
portion and lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt.
[
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. This may prevent
the seat belt from fastening 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
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.

[ 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.

[ Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.

Pre-tensioner seat belt (Drive and
front passenger)
B0060KO01
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pre-tensioner). The
purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant’s body in certain frontal or
side collision(s). The pre-tensioner seat
belts may be activated in crashes where
the frontal or side collision(s) is severe
enough, together with the air bags.
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 collisions, the pre-
tensioner 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 pre-tensioner system activates,
the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
WARNING
Pre-tensioner Seat Belts that
malfunction may not protect you
properly during an accident. Take the
following precautions:

[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 pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.

[ NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners by
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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