Rear seats (if equipped)
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING

[Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback whilst
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating 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 folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the
lowest position (if equipped with
adjustable head restraints).
OAI3039010
3. Insert the rear lap/shoulder belt plate
into the holder on the side trim. It will
prevent the lap/shoulder belt from
interfering with the seatback when
folding.

4. Pull up 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
the rear shoulder belts to their proper
position.

Safety system
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the front passenger
seat
OHI038169L
Never install a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. An inflating air
bag can forcefully strike a child or restraint
resulting in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING

[Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing Child Restraint
System on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!

[NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint System on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.

[Never put a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it would
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and causing
serious injury or death:

[Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.

[Do not perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.

[Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the
collision and airbag deployment
performance.
To ensure correct function of the
airbag system we recommend to
replace the bumper with genuine
HYUNDAI part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.

[Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position, when the
vehicle is being towed to prevent
inadvertent air bag deployment.

[We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
