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.

B040E03A-AAT
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
opened from the inside. It's use is recommended
whenever there are small children in the rear
seat.
To engage the child-protector feature so that the
door cannot be opened from the inside, move
the child-protector lever to the " " position and
close the door. Move the lever to the opposite
direction of " " position when normal door
operation is desired.
If you wish to be able to open the door from the
outside, the outside door handle will function
normally. The doors can be locked without a key.
To lock the doors, first push the inside lock
switch to the "LOCK" position, so that the red
mark on the switch is not visible, then close the
door.
The door will not lock if the key is left in the
ignition switch when the front doors are closed.
This is normal. (If Installed)
NOTE:o When locking the door this way, be
careful not to lock the door with the
ignition key left in the vehicle.
o To protect against theft, always re-
move the ignition key, close all win-
dows, and lock all doors and the trunk
lid(4 Door) / tail gate(3 Door) when
leaving your vehicle unattended.

Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury
in an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap
belt portion should be placed as low and snugly
as possible on the hips, not across the abdo-
men. For specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
B150B02A-AAT
Infant or Small Child
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.
Information about the use of these restraints
begins on page 1-19.
B150A01A-AAT
SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
B150C02A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear seat
and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The
lap portion should be fastened snug on the
hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are afforded the
most safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age
13) must be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placed
in the rearmost position. Children under the
age of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the age
of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rear
facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear their
seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle is
equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning on
page 1-26. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag sys-
tem. State laws require that some or all occu-
pants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possi-
bility of increased injury or severity of injury
in an accident will be increased if this elemen-
tary safety precaution is not observed.
!
WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including infants and
children. In a collision, an unrestrained child
can become a "missile" inside the car. The
force required to hold a child on your lap
could be so great that you could not hold the
child. Any child riding in the vehicle should
always be in a proper restraint.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from injury
in an accident when properly restrained in the
rear seat by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-19.

Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary, you should consult a physician for rec-
ommendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of
an accident, and to achieve maximum effective-
ness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should
be in an upright position when the car is moving.
A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if
the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the
front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined. The
shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your strong pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly. See Page 1-16.
B160A01A-AAT
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems should never be disassem-
bled or modified. In addition, care should be
taken to assure that seat belts and belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be in-
spected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat.

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.

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.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
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.

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- 20 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder
belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-
der belt is positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the neck or be-
hind the back. Moving the child closer
to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
or the center seat lap belt must always
be positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of
an approved booster seat in the rear
seat in order to raise the child's seating
height so that the seat belt will properly
fit the child. Before purchasing a
booster seat, make sure that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-
factory for use with this vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
not provide adequate security in an acci-
dent.WARNING:o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's 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. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should still sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
!WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a mov-
ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-
ous injury to the child in the event of an
accident or a sudden stop. Holding a
child in a moving vehicle does not pro-
vide the child with any means of protec-
tion during an accident, even if the per-
son holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.
