WARNING:
To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or a sudden stop,
both the driver's and passenger's
seatback should remain in an upright
position while the car is in motion. The
protection provided by the seat belts
and airbags may be reduced significantly
when the seatbacks are reclined. There
is a greater risk that the seat occupants
will slide under the belt resulting in seri-
ous injury if a crash occurs when the
seatbacks are reclined. The seat belt
cannot provide full protection to an oc-
cupant if the seatback is reclined.
B080D02JM-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce
the risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower
the headrest, push it down while pressing
the lock knob. To remove the headrest,
raise it as far as it can go then press the lock
knob while pulling upward. This should
only be done when the seat is not occu-
pied.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height as the top of
the occupant's eyes. For this reason,
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 injury to the
occupants may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may provide
protection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

Folding Rear Seatbackso To unlock the seatback, pull the
seatback release lever, then pull for-
ward on the seatback panel.

!
WARNING:
The purpose of the folding rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer
objects than could otherwise be accom-
modated. Do not 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. This could result in
serious injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop. Objects car-
ried 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.

SEAT BELTSB150B03Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments 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
1-34.
!
B150A01S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. This vehicle
is equipped with a Supplemental Re-
straint (Airbag) System as discussed
beginning on page 1-44. The seat belts
must be used in conjunction with the
supplemental airbag system. State laws
require that some or all occupants of the
vehicle use seat belts. The possibility of
increased injury or severity of injury in
an accident will be increased if this el-
ementary safety precaution is not ob-
served. In addition, follow the other in-
structions provided in this section.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. In a collision, an
unrestrained child can become a "mis-
sile" 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 in the rear seat of
the vehicle.NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed-
eral 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 1-34.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. The lap portion should be fas-
tened 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
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 13) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely re-
strained 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.

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 abdomen. For specific rec-
ommendations, consult a physician.B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is
necessary, you should consult a physician
for recommendations.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.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion 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 be-
cause 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 ap-
plied 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.
!
B150G01A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve maxi-
mum effectiveness of the restraint system,
all passengers 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.

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 wa-
ter. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abra-
sives should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle has
been involved in an accident. This should
be done even if no damage is visible.
Additional questions concerning seat belt
operation should be directed to your
Hyundai Dealer.
B170A04A-GATHEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELTYou can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of 4 positions for maxi-
mum 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
appropriate position.

B160A01A-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.B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be
inspected periodically for wear or damage
of any kind. Parts of the system that are
damaged should be replaced as soon as
possible.
