DOOR
B030B01A-AAT
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.
B030C01Y-AAT
(If Installed)
Whenever a door is opened, the ignition switch
will be illuminated for your convenience, pro-
vided the ignition switch is not in the "ON"
position.
The light will go off approximately 10 seconds
after closing the door or when the ignition switch
is turned on.

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.

vehicle is moving. This could result in loss
of control or an accident which may cause
death, serious injury, or property damage.
SEAT
B080B02A-AAT

To move the seat toward the front or rear, pull
the lock release lever upward. This will release
the seat on its track so you can move it forward
or rearward to the desired position. When you
find the position you want, release the lever and
slide the seat forward or rearward on its track
until it locks into the desired position and cannot
be moved further.

Adjusting Seatback Angle
To recline the seatback, lean forward to take
your weight off it, then pull up on the recliner
control lever at the outside edge of the seat. Now
lean back until the desired seatback angle is
achieved. To lock the seatback into position,
release the recliner control lever.
WARNING:To minimize risk of severe injury in the
event of a collision or a sudden stop, both
the driver and passenger seatbacks should
always be in an upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags in a
frontal collision may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are reclined.
There is greater risk that the driver and
passenger will slide under the seat belt
which may result in serious injury if a crash
occurs when the seatbacks are reclined.
The seat belt cannot provide full protection
to an occupant if the seat back is reclined.
B080D02A-AAT
Adjustable Headrests
B080C01E
Headrests are designed to help reduce the risk
of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower it, push

Lumbar Support Control
(Driver's Seat Only) (If Installed)
To adjust the lumbar support, turn the handle on
the outboard or left side of the seat. To increase
the amount of lumbar support, pull the lever
forward. To decrease it, push the lever toward
the rear.

2. Maximum support
WARNING:o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident, the headrest should be ad-
justed so the top of the headrest is at the
same height as the top of the occupant's
ears. The use of a cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback is not
recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the head-
rests removed as severe injury to an
occupant may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
