B170A06A-AATHeight Adjustable Front Seat
Shoulder BeltYou can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for
maximum comfort and safety.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too
near your neck, you will not be getting the
most effective protection. The shoulder
portion should be adjusted so that it lies
across your chest and midway over your
shoulder nearest the door and not your
neck.To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an
appropriate position. To raise the height
adjuster, pull it up. To lower it, push it down
while pressing the height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster to
make sure that it has locked into the posi-
tion.

belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by
using a mild soap solution and warm wa-
ter. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abra-
sives should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle has
been involved in an accident. This should
be done even if no damage is visible.
Additional questions concerning seat belt
operation should be directed to your
Hyundai Dealer.B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be
inspected periodically for wear or damage
of any kind. Parts of the system that are

WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored to the car
and the child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always follow
the child seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.
o Adjust the rear seatback in a semi-
reclined position from the upright po-
sition, before installing the Child Re-
straint Seat. With the seatback in the
proper reclining angle, push and pull
the child restraint seat in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
B230F01JM-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Rear Seat Center PositionTo install a child restraint system in the
center rear seat, extend the shoulder/lap
belt entirely from its retractor until a "click"
is felt. This will engage the seat belt retrac-
tor automatic locking feature, which allows
the seat belt to retract but not extend. Install
the child restraint system, buckle the seat
belt and allow the seat belt to take up any
slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the
belt is tight around the child restraint sys-
tem and the shoulder portion of the belt is
positioned so that it can not interfere with
the child's head or neck.
B235G02CM
Also, double check to be sure that the
retractor has engaged the Automatic Lock-
ing feature by trying to extend webbing out
of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be
locked.

!
WARNING:
o 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 to the car, in-
cluding setting the retractor to the
Automatic Locking mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
Should an accident occur and cause
the passenger side air bag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an infant
or child seated in an infant or child
seat. Therefore, only use a child re-
straint system in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tems, refer to safety notices for Cur-
tain Air Bag systems beginning on
page 1-58 this manual. Whenever in-
stalling child restraints, use only ap-
proved devices and refer to the "Child
Restraint System" section to ensure
correct installation and occupant pro-
tection is maximized. Also, double check to be sure that the
retractor has engaged the Automatic Lock-
ing feature by trying to extend webbing out
of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
Automatic Locking mode, the belt will be
locked. After installation of the child re-
straint system, try to move it in all directions
to be sure the child restraint system is se-
curely installed. If you need to tighten the
belt, pull more webbing toward the retrac-
tor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and
allow it to retract, the retractor will automati-
cally revert back to its normal seated pas-
senger Emergency Locking usage condi-
tion.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint
system in any seating position, read
the instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as
described, have the system checked
immediately by your authorized
Hyundai dealer.
B230G01CM-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Outboard Rear SeatsTo install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/
lap belt entirely from its retractor until a
"click" is felt. This will engage the seat belt
retractor automatic locking feature, which
allows the seat belt to retract but not ex-
tend. Install the child restraint system,
buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt
to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap
portion of the belt is tight around the child
restraint system and the shoulder portion
of the belt is positioned so that it can not
interfere with the child's head or neck.

WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
may cause the tires to overheat and fail. Avoid hard braking and overcorrecting at
the steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the
proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.
If you have a flat tire, the Low tire Pressure
and Position Telltales will illuminate.
