ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCH
!DOOR
B030B01A-AATRecord Your Key NumberA 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.

B080C02A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo 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 and airbags cannot provide
proper protection to an occupant if the seat
back is reclined.

slide the seat forward or rearward on its track
until it locks into the desired position and cannot
be moved further.

WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry larger
items than could otherwise be accommo-
dated. Never 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 serious injury or
death 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 injury or
damage during sudden stops.

down.

WARNING:
o Before folding the seatback, place the
rear seat belt buckles in the buckle clips
on the seatback. This will prevent the
seat belt buckles from becoming cov-
ered by the seat cushion when it is
returned to the seating position.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, make sure
the seat belts are in position to be acces-
sible and to function properly.
o When returning the seat cushion to the
seating position, place the seat belt
buckles on top of the cushion.o The purpose of the fold down rear seat
back and the fold forward rear seat cush-
ion is to increase cargo space. Do not
allow passengers to sit in 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. Passengers who are not
properly seated and wearing seat belts
could sustain serious injuries or death in
case of an accident or a sudden stop.
o 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 sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, always be
sure to place the rear seat belt buckles on
the seat cushion below the seatback.
o When you return the folded down
seatback to its upright position, always
be sure to install the headrests in their
proper positions. Headrests are impor-
tant to the safety of occupants in a rear
collision. If the headrests are not in-
stalled in their proper position, serious
injury or death could result if a rear end
collision occurs. Buckle clips

REAR SEAT WARNINGB140A01S-AATFor the safety of all passengers, luggage or

SEAT BELTS

B150A01E-AATSEAT 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 may require that
some or all occupants of the vehicle use
seat belts. The possibility of increased in-
jury or severity of injury in an accident will
be increased if this elementary safety pre-
caution is not observed. In addition, follow
the other instructions provided in this sec-
tion.
B150B03Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 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 1-23.
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.
