Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions)
may be folded to facilitate carrying
long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle.
•Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving as
this is not a proper seating posi
tion and no seat belts are avail
able for use. This could result in
serious injury or death in case of
an accident or 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.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to prop
erly protect the occupants.
WARNING
OGC034019
•For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
•Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

will help keep the seat belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.
NOTICE
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked into
its upright position by pushing on
the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud
den stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the pas
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
manual transaxle is in R (Reverse)
or 1st, and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle

Information
• Both the driver's and front passen ger's pretensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or sidecollisions.
• The pretensioners will be activated even if the seat belts are not worn at
the time of the collision.
• When the pretensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is nontoxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci
dent in which the pretensioner seat
belts were activated.Additional seat belt safety pre
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be us ed
during pregnancy. The best way to
prot ect your u nborn child is to prot ect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lapshoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, rout
ed between your breasts and away
from your neck. Place the lap belt
below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY
across your hips and pelvic bone,
under the rou nded part of t he belly.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children to
tr av el in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can
be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and
where you are travelling. Infant and
Child Restraint System must be prop
erly placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.

To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to an unborn child during
an accident, pregnant women
should NEVER place the lap por
tion of the seat belt above or over
the area of the abdomen where
the unborn child is located.

Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. Duringan accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
•NEVER ride with a reclined seat
back when the vehicle is moving.
•Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
•Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replaced
immediately.

Children always in the rear
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min
imize the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, chil
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems. The laws governing the
age or height/weight restrictions at
which seat belts can be used instead
of Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer
cially available Child Restraint System
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child Restraint Systems are general
ly designed to be secured in a vehi
cle seat by lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a
toptether and/or ISOFIX anchorage
in the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rearward
facing or forwardfacing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the rear
seat of the vehicle. Read and comply
with the instructions for installation
and use provided by the manufacturer
of the Child Restraint System.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
•Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
•Always properly restrain your child
in the Child Restraint System.
•Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over a
seatback, it may not provide ade
quate protection in an accident.
•After an accident, we recommend a
HYUNDAI dealer check the Child
Restraint System, seat belts,
ISOFIX anchorages and toptether
anchorages.
WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the rear seats of the vehicle,
unless the air bag on the front
passenger seat is deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat. A
child riding in the front passenger
seat can be forcefully struck by an
inflating air bag resulting in SERI
OUS INJURY or DEATH.

ISOFIX anchorage and toptether
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages
system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and
in an accident. This system is
designed to make installation of the
Child Restraint System easier and
reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system uses
anchors in the vehicle and attach
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the
need to use seat belts to secure the
Child Restraint System to the rear
seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars
built into the vehicle. There are twolower anchors for each ISOFIX seat
ing position that will accommodate a
Child Restraint System with lower
attachments. To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child
Restraint System with ISOFIX attach
ments. (An ISOFIX Child Restraint
System may only be installed if it has
vehiclespecific or universal approval
in accordance with the requirements
of ECER44 or ECER129.)
The Child Restraint System manu
facturer will provide you with instruc
tions on how to use the Child
Restraint System with its attach
ments for the ISOFIX anchorages.
ISOFIX anchorages have been pro
vided in the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Their locations
are shown in the illustration. There
are no ISOFIX anchorages provided
for the center rear seating position.
OLM039035

The ISOFIX anchorages symbols
are located on the left and right rear
seat cushions to identify the position
of the ISOFIX anchorages in your
vehicle (see arrows in illustration).
Both rear outboard seats are equipped
with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well as a corresponding toptether
anchorage on the back side of the rear seats.
(Child Restraint Systems with universal approval according to ECER44
or ECER129 need to be fixed addi tionally with a toptether connected tothe back side of the rear seats.) ISOFIX anchorages are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions.
To use the ISOFIX anchorages, push
the upper por tion of the ISOFIX
anchorage cover.
