WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv-
ers and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.
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.

SEAT BELTS!
B150A02S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts and
child restraints reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop. With-
out a seat belt, occupants could be shifted
too close to a deploying airbag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts greatly
reduce these hazards. Even with ad-
vanced airbags, unbelted occupants can
be severely injured by a deploying airbag.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.B150B04Y-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.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight, see page 1-34.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.

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-AATHEIGHT 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.
HTG2058 B160B01A-AAT
Periodic 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.
!
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up. To
lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster
down to make sure that it has locked into
position.
WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a
seat belt during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the inside of
the vehicle, against other occupants, or
out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one person
uses the same seat belt, they could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap or in your mouth can
result in injuries if an airbag inflates.oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit up-
right, fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the floor.
If occupants are too close to the airbag
covers, they could be injured if the
airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifi-
cation of the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing components
or side impact airbags.
oDo not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in the rear
seat.
!
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can cause occupants to be shifted too
close to a deploying airbag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown from
the vehicle resulting in serious injury
or death.
o Always sit upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with your seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and your
feet on the floor.Adding Equipment to or Modifying
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front
end or side sheet metal or ride height, this
may affect the operation of your vehicle's
airbag system.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEM (ABS)C120A01TG-AAT(If Installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de-
signed to prevent wheel lock-up during
sudden braking or on hazardous road
surfaces. The ABS control module moni-
tors the wheel speed and controls the
pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads,
ABS will increase vehicle control during
braking.NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is functioning properly.
o During ABS operation, a pulsation may
be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may
be heard in the engine compartment
while braking. These conditions are
normal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is functioning properly.
!
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneu-
vers. Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during ex-
treme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS equipped
vehicle should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or oth-
ers.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEMC310A02NF-AAT(If Installed)
WARNING:Never drive too fast for the road condi-
tions or too quickly when cornering. Elec-
tronic stability control (ESC) will not pre-
vent accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt maneuvers and hydroplan-
ing on wet surfaces can still result in
serious accidents. Only a safe and at-
tentive driver can prevent accidents by
avoiding maneuvers that cause the ve-
hicle to lose traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the normal
precautions for driving - including driv-
ing at safe speeds for the conditions.
