Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats have
adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in a
rear impact collision.
WARNING To help reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
• Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraint removed or reversed.
• Adjust the head restraints so the middle of the head restraint is at the same
height as the height of the top of the
eyes.
OHI039190N
• NEVER adjust the head restraint position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.

adjust the height of the head restraint to
the lowest position.

Seat Belt Restraint System
WARNING
B3001505
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury in an
accident. Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
• Position the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible across your hips, not
on your waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones to
absorb the force of the crash, reducing
the chance of internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 21

Seats & Safety System

• Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face.

manually so that it fits snugly across your
hips.When the seat belt has been fully
extended from the retractor to allow for
the installation of a child restraint system,
the seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type). For
more information, refer to the “Child

Pretensioner seat belt
B3001601(1) Retractor Pretensioner
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and
front passenger’s and rear passengers
Pretensioner Seat Belts (Retractor
Pretensioner). The purpose of the
pretensioner is to make sure the seat
belts fit tightly against the occupant’s
body in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The Retractor Pretensioner may be
activated in certain crashes where the
frontal collision(s) 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 or side
collision(s), the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant’s body.
If the system senses excessive tension on
the driver or passenger’s seat belt when
the pretensioner system activates, the
load limiter inside the retractor
pretensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
WARNING • Always wear your seat belt and sit properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is loose or twisted. A loose or twisted seat belt will
not protect you properly in an accident.
• Do not place anything near the buckle. This may adversely affect the buckle
and cause it to function improperly.

WARNING ALWAYS place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death if the Child Restraint System is
struck by an inflating airbag.

Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move freely
under normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency conditions
(emergency locking mode), you must
manually pull the seat belt all the way out
to shift the retractor to the "Automatic
Locking" mode to secure a Child Restraint
System.
The "Automatic Locking" mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the Child
Restraint System. To secure a Child
Restraint System, use the following
procedure.
To install a Child Restraint System on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the Child
Restraint System, following the Child
Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions. Make sure the seat belt
webbing is not twisted.
Information When using the rear center seat belt, you
should also refer to the "Rear Seat Belts –
3-point system with convertible locking
retractor" section in this chapter.

B3002204
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”
sound.
Information Position the release button so that it is easy
to access in case of an emergency.

B3002207
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the seat belt all the way out. When the shoulder
portion of the seat belt is fully
extended, it will shift the retractor to
the "Automatic Locking" (child
restraint) mode.
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the seat belt to retract and listen for an
audible "clicking" or "ratcheting"
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the "Automatic Locking" mode. If
no distinct sound is heard, repeat steps
3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the Child

Restraint System while feeding the
shoulder belt back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the Child Restraint System to confirm that the seat belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps 2
through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot, the
retractor is in the "Automatic Locking"
mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the "Installing a
Child Restraint System (CRS)" section in
this chapter.

Information When the seat belt is allowed to retract to its
fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock mode
for normal adult usage.

WARNING If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously injured
or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored in the car, including
manually pulling the seat belt all the way
out to shift the retractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode.

To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the Child Restraint System and allow the
seat belt to retract fully.

pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side airbag, take
the following precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to minimize the
risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat covers. This could reduce or prevent the
effectiveness of the system.
• Do not hang other objects except clothes. In an accident it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury
especially when airbag is inflated.
• Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the airbag inflates such
as the door, side door glass, front and
rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between the door and the seat. They may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side airbags.
• Do not impact the doors when the Start/Stop button is in the ON or START
position as this may cause the side
airbags to inflate. • If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Curtain airbags
B3003301
B3003302
Curtain airbags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and the
rear outboard seat occupants in certain
side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain airbags and
pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
