B080C02A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo recline the seatback, lean forward to take
your weight off it, then pull up on the recliner
control lever at the outside edge of the seat. Now
lean back until the desired seatback angle is
achieved. To lock the seatback into position,
release the recliner control lever.
WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the
event of a collision or a sudden stop, both
the driver and passenger seatbacks should
always be in an upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags in a
frontal collision may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are reclined.
There is greater risk that the driver and
passenger will slide under the seat belt
which may result in serious injury if a crash
occurs when the seatbacks are reclined.
The seat belt and airbags cannot provide
proper protection to an occupant if the seat
back is reclined.

slide the seat forward or rearward on its track
until it locks into the desired position and cannot
be moved further.

the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the head-
rests removed as severe injury to an
occupant may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest height while

WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry larger
items than could otherwise be accommo-
dated. Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seat back 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 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:
o Before folding the seatback, place the
rear seat belt buckles in the buckle clips
on the seatback. This will prevent the
seat belt buckles from becoming cov-
ered by the seat cushion when it is
returned to the seating position.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, make sure
the seat belts are in position to be acces-
sible and to function properly.
o When returning the seat cushion to the
seating position, place the seat belt
buckles on top of the cushion.o The purpose of the fold down rear seat
back and the fold forward rear seat cush-
ion is to increase cargo space. Do not
allow passengers to sit in the cargo area
while the car is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat belts
are available for use when the seat back
is folded down. Passengers who are not
properly seated and wearing seat belts
could sustain serious injuries or death in
case of an accident or a sudden stop.
o Objects should not extend higher than
the top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, always be
sure to place the rear seat belt buckles on
the seat cushion below the seatback.
o When you return the folded down
seatback to its upright position, always
be sure to install the headrests in their
proper positions. Headrests are impor-
tant to the safety of occupants in a rear
collision. If the headrests are not in-
stalled in their proper position, serious
injury or death could result if a rear end
collision occurs. Buckle clips

B180A01L-AATSEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System with
Emergency Locking RetractorTo fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There
will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into
the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the
belt will extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, the belt will lock into
position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward
too quickly. Check to make sure that the belt is
properly locked and that the belt is not twisted. NOTE:If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will come on and the
warning chime will sound for about 6 sec-
onds.

stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to help
accommodate the installation of child restraint
systems. Although a combination retractor is
also installed in the front passenger seat posi-
tion, Hyundai strongly recommends that chil-
dren always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER
place any infant restraint system in the front
seat of the vehicle.

This type of seat belt combines the features of
both an emergency locking retractor seat belt
and an automatic locking retractor seat belt. To
fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There
will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into
the buckle. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as the
driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the instal-
lation of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract, but
not to extend. (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-27.
NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for seated
passengers in either emergency or auto-
matic locking modes, it is recommended
that seated passengers use the emergency
locking feature for improved convenience.
The automatic locking function is intended
to facilitate child restraint installation. To
convert from the automatic locking feature
to the emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-
tract.
!
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o 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.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

B200A01A-AATAdjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion as low
as possible and snugly across your hips,
not on your waist. If the lap belt is located
too high on your waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of a collision.
Both arms should not be under or over the
belt. Rather, one should be over and the
other under, as shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.

B220C01Y-AATTo Release the Seat BeltWhen you want to release the seat belt, press
the button in the locking buckle.
WARNING:
The rear seat center belt latching mecha-
nism is different from those for the out-
board rear seat shoulder belts. When fas-
tening the outboard rear seat shoulder belts
or the rear seat center belt, make sure they
are inserted into the correct buckles to
obtain maximum protection from the seat
belt system and assure proper operation.
B230A03A-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According to acci-
dent statistics provided by the National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
