carrying long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle.

locking button, then pull forward on the
seatback panel.

damaged while folding the rear seat, the shoul-
der belt must be passed through the hanger to
keep it out of the way.
CAUTION:Seat belts must be removed from the hanger
when in use.

Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should 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 system 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 rear facing child seat in the front seat of
a vehicle.
B150D01A-AAT
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.
B150B01F-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 re-
straints begins on page 1-14.
WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. In a collision, an unre-
strained child can become a "missile" in-
side 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 in the rear seat of the vehicle.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-
jury 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 buy-
ing any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The re-
straint must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information. See page
1-14.
WARNING:The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Do not
allow passengers to sit on top of the folded
down seat back while the car is moving as
this is not a proper seating position and no
seat belts are available for use. This could
result in injury in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seats. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause in-
jury or damage during sudden stops.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
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 1-18. The seat belts must be used in
conjunction with the supplemental airbag
system. State laws may require that some or
all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts.
The possibility of increased injury or sever-
ity of injury in an accident will be increased
if this elementary safety precaution is not
observed. In addition, the following recom-
mendations are made:

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
recommendations.
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 effec-
tiveness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should
be in an upright position when the car is mov-
ing. A seat belt cannot provide proper protec-
tion 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 dan-
gerous. 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, receiv-
ing 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 applied there, not
at your 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 1-12.
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.
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.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any kind.
Parts of the system that are damaged should be
replaced as soon as possible.
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.
B160D01A-AAT
When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should be replaced if the vehicle has been in-
volved in an accident. This should be done even
if no damage is visible. Additional questions
concerning seat belt operation should be direct-
ed to your Hyundai Dealer.
