B080D03A-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce the
risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower it,
push it down while pressing the lock knob.
WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the event
of a collision or sudden stop, both the driver
and passenger seatbacks should always be in
a nearly upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts and airbags in a frontal collision
may be reduced significantly when the
seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the driver and passenger will slide
under the seat belt which may result in
serious injury if a crash occurs when the
seatback is reclined.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest
is at the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury to
an occupant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may provide
protection against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Never
allow passengers to sit on top of the folded-
down seatback while the car is moving as this
is not a proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use when the seatbacks
are folded down. This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an accident or a
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 injury or
damage during sudden stops.
For greater convenience, the entire seatback
may be folded down or the seatbacks may be
folded down individually.
o To unlock the seatback, pull up the seatback
locking knob, then push forward on the
seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.
B110A02A-1
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow
the seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.

B150B02A-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
Information about the use of these restraints
begins on page 1-22.
B150A01S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle is
equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-30. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag sys-
tem. State laws require that some or all occu-
pants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possi-
bility of increased injury or severity of injury
in an accident will be increased if this elemen-
tary safety precaution is not observed.
In addition, follow the other instructions
provided in this section.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants and
children. In a collision, an unrestrained child
can become a "missile" inside the car. The
force required to hold a child on your lap
could be so great that you could not hold the
child. Any child riding in the vehicle should
always be in a proper restraint.NOTE: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 Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-22.

B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary, you should consult a physician for rec-
ommendations.B150F01A-AATOne Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.B150G01A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum effec-
tiveness of the restraint system, all passen-
gers should be sitting up and the front seats
should be in an upright position when the car
is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper
protection if the person is lying down in the rear
seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined. The
shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your strong pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly. See Page 1-19.
B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury
in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap
belt portion should be placed as low and snugly
as possible on the hips, not across the abdo-
men. For specific recommendations, consult a
physician.B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The
lap portion should be fastened snug on the
hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are afforded the
most safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age
13) must be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed
in the rearmost position. Children under the
age of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age
of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear
facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.

B160A01A-AATCARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disassem-
bled or modified. In addition, care should be
taken to assure that seat belts and belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be in-
spected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat.
B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use 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. Additional ques-
tions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.B160C01A-AATKeep Belts Clean and DrySeat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can 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.
B170A04A-AATHEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT (If Installed)
B170A01A
You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt
anchor to one of the 4 positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too near
your neck, you will not be getting the most
effective protection. The shoulder portion should
be adjusted so that it lies across your chest and
midway over your shoulder nearest the door
and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an appro-
priate position. To raise the height adjuster, the
height adjuster button needs to be pressed to
move it up or down, pull it up. To lower it, push
