When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use 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. Additional ques-
tions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
B160C01A-AAT
Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can 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.
B170A04A-AAT
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT
(If Installed)
B170A01A
You 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 appro-
priate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull
it up. To lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
WARNING:o The height adjuster must be in the
locked position when the vehicle is
moving.
o The misadjustment of height of the shoul-
der belt could reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt in a crash.

Release the button to lock the anchor into

make sure that it has locked into the position.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 17
This type of seat belt combines the features
of both an emergency locking retractor seat
belt and an automatic locking retractor seat
belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-
cally adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-24.
NOTE:Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated pas-
sengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that seated
passengers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience. The auto-
matic locking function is intended to facilitate
child restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the emer-
gency locking operation mode, allow the un-
buckled seat belt to fully retract. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retrac-
tor and insert the metal tab into the buckle.
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 is adjusted manual-
ly so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you
lean forward 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.
NOTE:If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will flash and the warn-
ing chime will sound for approximately six
seconds.
WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, seat belts must always be used when-
ever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-
ed belt can't do its job as well. In a colli-
sion, it could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Outboard Rear Seat 3-Point System
with Combination Locking Retractor :

straint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends

SEAT BELTS (2-Point Static Type)
(Rear Seat Center)
To Fasten Your Seat Belt
To fasten a 2-point static type belt, insert the
metal tab into the locking buckle. There will be
an audible "click" when the tab locks into the
buckle. Check to make sure the belt is properly
locked and that the belt is not twisted.
B200A01A-AAT
Adjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion 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 near-
est the door.
B210A01A-AAT
To Release the Seat Belt
The seat belt is released by pressing the re-
lease button in the locking buckle. When it is
released, the belt should automatically draw
back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to be sure
it is not twisted, then try again.

!WARNING:o For best protection from the side im-
pact airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side impact
airbag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened. The
driver's hands should be placed on the
steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
o'clock positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should
be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the side
or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of
the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag
or between the airbag and yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the
front seat. Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact airbag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the
side impact air bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact to the side
impact airbag sensor when the ignition
key is on.

Side airbag
sensor
WARNING:o The side impact airbag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's three
point seat belt systems and is not a sub-
stitute for them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times while the ve-
hicle is in motion. The airbags deploy
only in certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause significant injury
to the vehicle occupants.
!
B240C01A-AAT
SRS Care
o The SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. The entire SRS system must be
inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer
in 10 years after the date that the vehicle
was manufactured.
o Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed by
a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper han-
dling of the airbag system may result in
serious personal injury.

The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the
vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler lid opener
located on the front floor area on the left side of
the car.
NOTE:If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice
has formed around it, tap lightly or push on
the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do
not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around
the lid with an approved de-icer fluid (do not
use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle

filler cap, use a genuine Hyundai replace-
ment part.

ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure
sound" may be heard. This is normal and
not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into the
atmosphere and the check engine (MIL)
indicator " " illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
