4. Pull up both sides of the seatback lever
and fold the seatback toward the front
of the vehicle. To use the rear seat, lift and push up the
seatback backward. Push the seatback
firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure
the seatback is locked in place.
When returning the rear seatbacks to the
upright position, remember to return therear shoulder belts to their proper position.
WARNING
When returning the rear seatback
from a folded to an upright posi-
tion, hold the seatback and return it
slowly. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of
the seatback. In an accident or sud-
den stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward
with great force and enter the pas-
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING - 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 frontseat occupants in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
shift lever is in P (Park, for auto-
matic transaxle vehicle ) or neutral
(for manual transaxle vehicle), and
the parking brake is securely
applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadver-
tently moved to another position.

Seat belt restraint systemSEAT BELTS(Continued)
Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an accident.Be sure the belt webbing isstraight and not twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dan-
gerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on a occu-pant's lap.
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged, replace it.WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:
Frayed, contaminated, or damaged webbing
Damaged hardware
The entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in an accident,
even if damage to webbing or
assembly is not apparent
WARNING
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack.
WARNING
For maximum restraint system protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
vehicle is moving.
Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in theupright 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.
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positionedshoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light on the instrument cluster
will blink for approximately 6 seconds
each time you place the ignition switch in
the ON position regardless of belt fasten-ing.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened after
the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the seat belt warning light will blink again
for approximately 6 seconds.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position or if it is unfastened after the
ignition switch is in the ON position, the
seat belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 6 seconds. At this time, if
the seat belt is fastened, the chime will
stop at once. (if equipped)
Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the metal tab (1) into the buckle
(2). 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 por-
tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for-
ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
✽✽
NOTICE
If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from the
retractor, firmly pull the seat belt out
and release it. After release, you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.

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 pre-tensioner will activate and pullthe seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, theload limiter inside the pre-tensioner willrelease some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious injury.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
Do not hit the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
(Continued)
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be worn cor- rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags
– that are provided in this manu-al.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts prop-
erly.

Safety system of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽✽NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre-tensioner
seat belts. The SRS air bag warning
light on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working prop-
erly, the warning light will illuminate
even if the SRS air bag is not malfunc-
tioning. If the warning light does not
illuminate, stays illuminated or illumi-
nates 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
 Both the driver's and front passen- ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be
activated in certain frontal collisions.
 When the pre-tensioner 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 oper-
ating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
 Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.

Additional seat belt safety pre- cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used dur-
ing pregnancy. The best way to protect
your unborn child is to protect yourself by
always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear a
lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoul-
der belt across the chest, routed away
from the neck. Place the lap belt below
the belt line so that it fits snugly and as
low as possible across the hips, notacross the abdomen.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices, includ-
ing booster seats. The age at which seatbelts can be used instead of child
restraints differs among countries, so you
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your country, and where you are
travelling. Infant and child restraints must
be properly placed and installed in a rear
seat. For more information refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter. Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child restraint
system, make sure that it has a label cer-
tifying that it meets Safety Standard of
your country. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to
“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children Children under age 13 and who are too
large for a booster seat must always
occupy the rear seat and use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. A seat beltshould lie across the upper thighs and be
snug across the shoulder and chest to
restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. In the event of an
accident, children are safest when they
are seated in the rear seat and restrained
by the seat belts or by a child restraintsystem.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to an unborn child during
an accident, pregnant womenshould NEVER place the lap por-
tion of the seat belt above or overthe area of the abdomen where the
unborn child is located.WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child
restraint appropriate for the child’sheight and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to a child and other pas-
sengers, NEVER hold a child in
your lap or arms when the vehicle
is moving. The violent forces creat-ed during an accident will tear the
child from your arms and throw the
child against the interior of the
vehicle.

319
Safety system of your vehicle
If a larger child over age 13 must be seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the availablelap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat.Transporting an injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific recom-
mendations.
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 dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of
your restraint system (seat belts and/or
air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve the
maximum effectiveness of the restraintsystem, all passengers should be sittingup and the front and rear seats should be
in an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide prop-
er protection if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front or rear seatsare in a reclined position.
WARNING
Always make sure children are wearing their seat belts and that
they are properly adjusted beforedriving.
NEVER allow the shoulder belt to contact the child’s neck or face.
Do not allow more than one child to use a single seat belt.
WARNING
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.
Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the
seatbacks upright.
