SEAT BELTS
•For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
•Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•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 positioned mid
way over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, the seat belt
can damage it.
•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.
•Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If the
belt webbing or hardware is
damaged, replace it.
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
tamination of the webbing with pol
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
Lap belt (if equipped)
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten a 2point static type belt,
insert the metal tab into the locking
buckle. There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the
buckle. Check to make sure the belt
is properly locked and that the belt is
not twisted. With a 2point static type seat belt, the
length must be adjusted manually so
it fits snugly around your body. Fasten
the belt and pull on the loose end to
tighten. The belt should be placed as
low as possible on your hips, not on
your waist. If the belt is too high, it
could increase the possibility of your
being injured in an accident.
When using the rear center seat belt,
the buckle with the “CENTER” mark
must be used.

To release the seat belt:
When you want to release the seat
belt, press the button (1) in the lock
ing buckle.
Pretensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pretensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu
pant's body in certain frontal colli
sions. The pretensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the frontal collision is severe enough. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pretensioner will acti
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
OGS035044
The center lap belt latching mech
anism is different from those for
the rear seat shoulder belts. When
fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make
sure they are inserted into the cor
rect buckles to obtain maximum
protection from the seat belt sys
tem and assure proper operation.
WARNING
OLMB03309
•Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or twist
ed seat belt will not protect you
properly in an accident.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func
tion improperly.
•Always replace your pretension
ers after activation or an acci
dent.
•NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pretensioners your
self. This must be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

2-26
Safety system of your vehicle
The seat belt pretensioner system
consists mainly of the following com
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pretensioner assembly
(3) SRS control module
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec
onds after the ignition switch is placed
to the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pretensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi
nate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS air
bags be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE(Continued)
•Do not hit the seat belt assem
blies.
Do not touch the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti
vated. When the pretensioner
seat belt mechanism deploys dur
ing a collision, the pretensioner
can become hot and can burn
you.
WARNING
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the preten
sioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the severity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
•Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.
•If the installation location or
angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not or
they may not deploy when they
should, causing severe injury or
death.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Problems may arise if the sen
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deformation
of the front bumper, body or B
pillar where side collision sen
sors are installed. We recom
mend that the system be serv
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
•Your vehicle has been designed to
absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing aftermarket bumper
guards or replacing a bumper with
nongenuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision and
air bag deployment performance.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend that the any work on
the SRS system, such as removing,
installing, repairing, or any work on
the steering wheel, the front passen
ger's panel, front seats and roof rails
be performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper handling
of the SRS system may result in seri
ous personal injury.
(Continued)
•If the air bags inflate, we recom
mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal
er.
•Do not tamper with or discon
nect SRS wiring, or other com
ponents of the SRS system.Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental inflation of the
air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
•If components of the air bag sys
tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be
observed. An authorized
HYUNDAI dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.Failure to follow these precau
tions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal
injury.
•If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
the flooring, you shouldn't try tostart the engine; we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Modification to SRS compo
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges to
the pad covers or modifications
to the body structure, can
adversely affect SRS perform
ance and lead to possible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry cloth
or one which has been mois
tened with plain water. Solvents
or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys
tem.
•No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag modules
on the steering wheel, instru
ment panel, and the front pas
senger's panel above the glove
box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle
is in a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to inflate.
