B150D01A-AAT Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen thechance of injury in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap belt portion should be placed as low and snugly aspossible on the hips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommenda- tions, consult a physician.
B150C02A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always oc-cupy the rear seat and use the avail- able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por- tion should be fastened snug on thehips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Chil-dren are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint sys-tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoul- der belt and the seat should be placed in the rear most position. Children un-der the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age of 13 in the frontseat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
B150F01A-AAT 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.
B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you shouldconsult a physician for recommenda- tions.
B150B01Y-GAT Infant or Small Child Some countries require the use of child restraint systems for infants andsmall children. Whether this is required by law or not, it is strongly recom- mended that a child restraint seat orinfant restraint system be used for infants or small children weighing less than 18 kilograms (40 pounds). NOTE: Small children are best protected in an accident when properly re- strained by a child restraint sys-tem.
B150A02A-GAT SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS All occupants of the vehicle should wear their seat belts at all times. In-deed, your province's laws may re- quire that some or all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts.The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in an accident will be de- creased if this elementary safety pre-caution is observed. In addition, the following recommendations are made:

1- 20 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can becleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When to Replace Seat Belts Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if thevehicle has been involved in an acci- dent. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional ques-tions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
B160A01A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the ve-hicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly.See page 1-21.
B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rearseatback was folded down, be care- ful not to damage the seat belt web- bing or buckle. Be sure that thewebbing or buckle does not get caught or pinched in the rear seat.!
B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is lyingdown in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts can'tdo their job when you're reclined. The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against yourbody. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving serious neck or other in-juries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up overyour abdomen. The belt forces would be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones.

o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. 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 positionedmidway over the shoulder, never across the neck. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehiclemay help provide a good shoul- der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-ter seat lap belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug aspossible.
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 to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur andcause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely in- jure or kill an infant or child seatedin an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat 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 child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunkor fasten it with a safety belt sothat it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.

B230A03A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be restrained to minimize the risk of injuryin an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident sta- tistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint should use one of theseat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small childrenride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba- bies, a child seat or infant seat must beused. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits yourchild. Follow all the instructions pro- vided by the manufacturer when in- stalling the child restraint system.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 25
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 pro- vide adequate security in an ac-cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any meansof protection during an accident, even if the 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 orkilled in a collision greatly in- creases.B230F01A-AAT Installation on Rear Seat Center Position

Use the center seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. After installation of the childrestraint system, rock the child seat back and forth, and side to side to ensure that it is properly secured bythe seat belt. If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, ifequipped, insert the child restraint tether strap hook into the child re- straint hook holder and tighten to se-cure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint system manufacturer's rec- ommendation before installing the childrestraint system in your vehicle.
