You should place the lap belt por
tion 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.

Pretensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pretensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu
pant's body in certain frontal colli
sions. The pretensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the frontal collision is severe enough. 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 pretensioner will acti
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pretensioner system
consists mainly of the following com
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pretensioner assembly
(3) SRS control module

For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or twist
ed and always sit properly on your
seat.

Information
• When the pretensioner seat beltsare 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 operating condi
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci
dent in which the pretensioner seat
belts were activated.
• \fecause the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the
pretensioner seat belt, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instru
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the ON position, and then it should
turn off. If the pretensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal
function of the SRS air bag.
If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illuminating
for approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend that the sy
s
tem be ins p

ected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICEi
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pretensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your
vehicle’s occupant safety fea
tures – including seat belts and
air bags – that are provided in
this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen gers always wear seat belts
properly.

operate only one time. After acti
vation, pretensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
•The pretensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not touch
the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
•Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pretensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Do not strike the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies.

WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden
stop. Without a seat belt, occu
pants could be shifted too close to
a deploying air bag, strike the inte
rior structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the preca

utions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant seating contained in this
manual.
WARNING
•Improper handling of the pre
tensioner seat belt assemblies,
and failure to heed the warnings
not to strike, modify, inspect,
replace, service or repair the
pretensioner seat belt assem
blies may lead to improper oper
ation or inadvertent activation
and serious injury.
•Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a motor
vehicle.
•If the vehicle or pretensioner
seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that yo
u contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the pre
tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use
of these restraints, refer to “Child
restraint system” in this section.Information
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. \fefore buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standards 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
system” in this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap\fshoulder belts. The lap
por tion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap\fshoul
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.i
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained at
all times, including infants and
children. Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a vehi
cle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.
WARNING

2
"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches 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 a child restraint system.
Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda
tions.
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 acci
dent.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front and
rear seats should be in an upright
position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper pro
tection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front and rear
seats are in a reclined position.
Shoulder belts on small children
•Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s neck
or face while the vehicle is in
motion.
•If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on children,
there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the safety
belt over the area of the abdomen
where the fetus is located or
above the abdomen where the
belt could crush the fetus during
an impact.
WARNING

"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&

When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replace
d
immediately.
WARNING
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they should
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire inuse seat belt assembly
or assemblies should be replaced if
the vehicle has been involved in an
accident. This should be done even if
no damage is visible. If you have
additional questions regarding seat
belt operation, we recommend that
you consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your risk of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli
sion or sudden stop. The protec
tion of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against
your hips and chest to work prop
erly. The more the seatback is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an occupant's hips will slide
under the lap belt ca
using serious
internal injuries or the occupant's
neck could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.
WARNING

"&t%'s%st&'!"'%!'&&
Children 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 accident statistics, 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 pro
vided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant safety seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer
cially available child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by the
lap belt portion of a lap\fshoulder belt.
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 par ticular child
restraint system, make sure it fits
your car seat and seat belts, and fits
your child. Follow all the instructions
provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.

•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 and
cause the passengerside air
bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat.
Thus only use a child restraint in
the rear seat of your vehicle.
•A seat belt or child restraint sys
tem can become very hot if it is
left in a cl

osed vehicle on a
sunny day, even if the outside
temperature does not feel hot.
Be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.

WARNING
(Continued)
•When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug
gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
•Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even those
too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.
