Adjusting Seat Forward and Rearward
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.

B080C01A-AAT
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.
B080C01O
WARNING:To ensure the seat is locked securely, at-
tempt to move the seat forward or rearward
without using the lock release lever.

POWER DRIVER'S SEAT (If installed)
The driver's seat can be adjusted appropriately
by using the control knobs on the left side of the
seat. Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so as to easily control the
steering wheel, pedals and switches on the
instrument panel.
CAUTION:Do not operate two knobs at the same time.
WARNING:o Never attempt to adjust the seat while
the vehicle is moving. This could result
in loss of control or an accident causing
death, serious injury, or property dam-
age.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the airbag.

Adjusting Seatback Angle
Rotate the upper portion of the control knob
forward or backward to recline the seatback to
the desired position. Release the control knob
and the seatback will remain in that position.
WARNING:To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or a sudden stop,
both the driver's and passenger's seatback
should remain in an upright position while
the car is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags may be
reduced significantly when the seatbacks
are reclined. There is a greater risk that the
seat occupants will slide under the belt
resulting 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.

B150B03Y-AATInfant 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 1-24.
!
!B140A01B-AATREAR SEAT WARNING
For the safety of all passengers, luggage or
other cargo should not be piled higher than the
top of the seatback.
WARNING:o The purpose of the fold-up rear seat
cushion and the fold-down rear seat
back is to allow you to carry more objects
than could otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on the
cargo area while the car is moving. This
is not a proper seating position and no
seat belts are available for use when the
seat back is folded down.
This could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or a sudden
stop. Objects should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.
o Make sure that the headrests are prop-
erly fixed in place to minimize the risk of
severe injury in case of an accident.
o When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seatbelt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not
allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle to
get caught or pinched in the rear seat.

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 1-31. The seat belts must be used
in conjunction with the supplemental
airbag system. State laws require that some
or all occupants of the vehicle use seat
belts. The possibility of increased injury or
severity of injury in an accident will be
increased if this elementary safety precau-
tion is not observed. In addition, follow the
other instructions provided in this section.

!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the lap/shoulder belt is posi-
tioned midway over the shoulder and
never across the neck or behind the
back. Moving the child closer to the
center of the vehicle may help provide a
good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt por-
tion of the lap/shoulder 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 and that
it is satisfactory 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 a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback;
it may not provide adequate security in
an accident.WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a person's
arms while they are in a moving vehicle,
as this could result in serious injury to
the child in the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving
vehicle does not provide the child with
any means of protection during an acci-
dent, even if the person holding the child
is wearing a seat belt.
!!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 and 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 luggage compartment
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 sit in the rear seat and be
restrained with the available lap/shoul-
der belts. Never allow children to ride in
the front passanger seat.
