Folding the rear seat (4th row seat, if equipped)
The rear seat cushion may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or toincrease the luggage capacity of the
vehicle. To fold the rear seat:
1. Stow the rear seat belt in the pocket to
prevent the seat belt from being dam- aged.
2. Set the 3rd row seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the 3rd
row seat forward.
3. Pull on the seat cushion folding lever,then fold the seat toward the rear of
the vehicle.
4. Increase the luggauge compartment space by moving the rear seat using
the sliding lever.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold rear seat is
to allow you to carry longer objectsthat could not be accommodated in
the cargo area.
Never allow passengers to sit on a
improper position (ex : top of the
folded seat, floor etc.) whilst the car
is moving as this is not a properseating 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 cargo area
should not extend higher than the
top of the front seatbacks. Doing
this could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.

WARNING
When you return the rear seat
cushion to its locking position after
being folded:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat
is completely locked into its proper
position by pushing the seat cush-
ion and seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud-
den stop, the seat could fold, which
could result in serious injury ordeath.
OUN026140
WARNING
The head restraint on the seat
(especially the last row seat)
should be adjusted so the middle ofthe head restraint is at the sameheight as the top of the occupant's
eyes.
If the tailgate is pushed down to
close when a passenger's head is
not against a properly adjusted
head restraint or a tall person is
seated, the tailgate may hit the
occupant's head, which could
cause injury.
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
transmission is in P (Park) 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 inadvertently moved toanother position.

C020100AUN Seat belt restraint systemSEAT BELTS
WARNING
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 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.
(Continued)
WARNING
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 occu-pant.
(Continued)
(Continued)
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 bereplaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each seat belt assembly
must only be used by one occu-
pant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on theoccupant's lap.
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, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
(Continued)
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 beltwebbing is straight and not twist-ed.
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged, replace it.

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it 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.

belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be

C020200BEN-UK Pre-tensioner seat belt (if equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with driver and
front passenger pre-tensioner seat belts.The pre-tensioner function ensures thatthe seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant under certain impact conditions. If
the severity of impact or the angle ofimpact is such that the airbags or pre-
tensioners will not provide additionaloccupant protection, the system will not
deploy. If the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor
will lock into position. Under impact or
braking conditions, seat belt retractor will
lock. Depending upon the severity and
angle of impact, the pre-tensioner may
activate and will pull the seat belt intotighter contact against the occupant. The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

C020300AUN Seat belt precautions
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 attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be done
by a HYUNDAI authorised repair-
er.
Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
(Continued)(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.
Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehi-
cle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, con-
tact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraintsreduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants
could be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and occu-pant seating contained in this man-ual.
