Record Your Key Number
A code number is stamped on the number plate
that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This
key number plate should not be left with the
keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
The key number should also be recorded in a
place where it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should lose
your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can
make new keys if you can supply the key
number.

Locking, unlocking front doors with a
key
o The door can be locked or unlocked with a
key.
o Lock the door by turning the key toward the
front of the vehicle and unlock it by turning
the key toward the rear.
NOTE:The driver's door can be unlocked by turning
the key once toward the rear. If you wish to
unlock all doors, turn the key toward the rear
within 4 seconds once more. (With central
door locking system)
WARNING:o Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Be-
fore you drive away (especially if there
are children in the car), be sure that all the
doors are securely closed and locked so
that the doors cannot be opened from the
inside. This helps ensure that the doors
will not be opened accidentally. Also,
when combined with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from the
car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

CHILD-PROTECTOR REAR DOOR
LOCK (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with a "child-protec-
tor" rear door lock assembly. When the lock
mechanism is engaged, the rear door cannot be

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.

with Combination Locking Retractor :
To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the rear seat.

the front seat of the vehicle.

Adjusting Your Seat Belt
With a 2-point static type seat belt, the length
must be adjusted manually so it fits snugly
around your body. Fasten the belt and pull on
the loose end to tighten. The belt should be
placed as low as possible on your hips, not on
your waist. If the belt is too high, it could in-
crease the possibility of your being injured in an
accident.

WARNINGThe center lap belt latching mechanism is
different from those for the rear seat shoulder
belts. When fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make sure they are
inserted into the correct buckle to obtain
maximum protection from the seat belt sys-
tem and assure proper operation.

B230A02A-AAT
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
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, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
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 provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
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 particular
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.

1- 24 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
After installation of the child restraint system, try
to move it in all directions to be sure the child
restraint system is securely installed. If you
need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing
toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the
seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a
child restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
!
To 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 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
system and the shoulder portion of the belt is
positioned so that it cannot interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to be
sure that the retractor has engaged the auto-
matic locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode, the belt will be locked.

Position
Use the center seat belt for the rear seat to
secure the child restraint system as illustrated.
After installation of the child restraint system,
rock the child seat back and forth, and side to
side to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the
seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure the seat.
Always refer to the child restraint system
manufacturer's recommendation before install-
ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.

dent, pull the emergency trunk release
lever on the driver's side of the inside
panel of the trunk. This will open the
trunk lid.
o HYUNDAI recommends that cars be kept
locked and keys be kept out of the reach
of children, and that parents teach their
children about the dangers of playing in
trunks.
WARNING:Parents should teach children about the emer-
gency trunk release lever in their vehicle and
how to open the trunk lid if they are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
