B200A01S-GAT Adjusting Your Seat Belt
B200A01L-D You should place the belt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist. If the belt is located too high onyour body, you could slide under it in case of accident or a sudden stop. This could result of death, seriousinjury or property damage. Both arms should not be under or over the belt. Rather, one should be over and theother under, as shown in the illustration. Never wear the seat belt under the arm nearest the door.
The mechanism will also lock if the seat belt webbing is withdrawn too quickly when the belt is being fastened or ifattempts are made to withdraw the webbing whilst the vehicle is not on level ground. Should the seat belt lockunder these conditions, it will be pos- sible to release the mechanism by al- lowing a small amount of webbing to beretracted and the belt withdrawn again.

WARNING:
The centre belt latching mechanismis different from those for the rear seat shoulder belts. When fastening the rear seat shoulder belts or therear seat centre belt, make sure they are inserted into the correct buckles to obtain maximum protection fromthe seat belt system and assure proper operation. B230A03A-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be prop-erly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre. According to acci-dent statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger childrenshould use one of the seat belts pro- vided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat).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 andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manu- facturer when installing the child re-straint system.
!WARNING:
o When using the rear seat centre belt, you must lock all metal tabs and buckles. If any metal tab or buckle is not locked, it will in-crease the chance of injury in the event of collision.
o Never unlock the metal tab (a) and
the buckle (b) with the followingexceptions.(1)In case of folding rear seatbacks down.
(2)If transporting an object on the
rear seat may cause damage to the rear seat centre belt.
o Lock the metal tab (a) and the
buckle (b) immediately after fold-ing rear seatbacks up.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 23
Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind theback. Moving the child closer to the centre of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit.The lap belt portion of the lap/ shoulder belt or the centre seat lap belt must always be positioned aslow as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat. o Never use an infant carrier or child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide ad- equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in amoving vehicle, as this could re-sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even ifthe person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in- stall a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is
not in use, store it in the trunk orfasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an acci-dent.
o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in therear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts.!

!WARNING:
Do not install any child restraint sys- tem in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy,it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a childrestraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull morewebbing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and allow it toretract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated pas- senger emergency locking usage con-dition. NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions sup- plied by the child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the systemchecked immediately by yourHyundai authorised repairer.

B180B01A-EAT Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
B180B01S-D
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre- tensioner seat belts. The purpose of thepre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occupant's body in certain frontal colli-sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the same way as an Emergency Lock- ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lockinto position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo- nents. Their locations are shown in theillustration.
