C010303BUNHeadrest
OBH038076L
The rear seat(s) is equipped with head-
rests in all the seating positions for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a
collision.
!
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 of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of grav-
ity of most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possible. The
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
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.

B160A02A-AATCARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback
was folded down, be careful not to dam-
age the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be
sure that the webbing or buckle does not
get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A
seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle
will not be as strong and could possibly
fail during a collision or sudden stop,
resulting in serious injury.
B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use seat belt assemblies should
be replaced if the vehicle has been in-
volved in an accident. This should be
done even if no damage is visible. Addi-
tional questions 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.
B170A02MC-AATHEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT
B170A01MC
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 shoul-
der 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 appropriate position. To
raise the height adjuster, pull it up.
B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be
inspected periodically for wear or dam-
age of any kind. Parts of the system that
are damaged should be replaced as soon
as possible.

B200A01A-AATAdjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.
B200A01NF
o Children age 12 and younger must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If a
child over 13 must be seated in the
front seat, he/she must be properly
belted and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
o Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
can cause serious injuries in a crash.
The shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoulder
across your collarbone.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A
twisted belt can't do its job as well. In
a collision, it could even cut into you.
Be sure the belt webbing is straight
and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt web-
bing or hardware is damaged, re-
place it. When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt opera-
tion changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). See page 1-38.
NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom-
mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode, al-
low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-
tract.
!
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, seat belts must always be
used whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.

WARNING:
o Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be vio-
lently thrown against the vehicle's
interior, resulting in serious injury.
o Never use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide ad-
equate security in an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
o Always store or secure a child seat,
even when it is not in use. During a
collision or sudden stop, the child
seat could be thrown inside the ve-
hicle.
B230B01E-AATUsing a Child Restraint System with
the "Tether Anchorage" SystemFor small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat since this can make an
important contribution to safety. Your ve-
hicle is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat
or infant seat.

WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or

straint is not properly anchored.
Always follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or an-
chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the
rear floor panel.

2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.

child restraint hook holder (1) and
tighten to secure the seat.
