!WARNING:
The purpose of the folding rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could other-wise be accommodated. Do not al- low passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback, while thecar is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This couldresult in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded downseatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forwardand cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

B160A01A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors orother abuse.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rear seatback was folded down, be care-ful not to damage the seat belt web- bing or buckle. Be sure that the webbing or buckle does not getcaught or pinched in the rear seat. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat 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, strongdetergents or abrasives should not be used because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if thevehicle has been involved in an acci- dent. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional ques-tions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
!WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is inmotion can be dangerous. 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 ofyou. In a crash you could go into it with great force, receiving serious neck or other injuries. The lap beltcan't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen.
B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot operate properly if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
The belt forces would be appliedthere, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal inju-ries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well backin the seat and wear your seat belt properly. See page 1-33.
