WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height as the top of
the occupant's eyes. For this reason,
the use of a cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback is not
recommended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and air
bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seat. Seat belts must be snug
against your hips and chest to work
properly. The more the seatback is re-
clined, the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under the lap
belt or the occupant's neck will strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers
should always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seatbacks
upright.
B090C01Y-AATSeat Cushion Height Adjustment
(Driver's seat only)Move the front portion of the control knob
up or down to raise or lower the front part
of the seat cushion. Move the rear portion
of the control knob up or down to raise or
lower the rear part of the seat cushion.

seat cushion. To increase the amount of
lumbar support, press the front portion of
the switch. To decrease lumbar support,
press the rear portion of the switch.

B150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments 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
1-33.
!
B150A03S-AATSeat Belt Precautions
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced air bags, unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured by a de-
ploying air bag. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight.

B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is
necessary, you should consult a physician
for recommendations.B150F01A-AATOne Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt. This
could increase the severity of injuries in
case of an accident.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. The lap portion should be fas-
tened 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 re-
strained 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.
B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe 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 abdomen. For specific rec-
ommendations, consult a physician.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed-
eral 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 1-33.

Shoulder BeltYou can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for
maximum comfort and safety.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is too
near your neck, you will not be getting the
most effective protection. The shoulder
portion should be adjusted so that it lies
across your chest and midway over your
shoulder nearest the door and not your
neck.To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an
appropriate position. To raise the height
adjuster, pull it up. To lower it, push it down
while pressing the height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor into
position. Try sliding the height adjuster to
make sure that it has locked into the posi-
tion.
B160C01A-AATKeep Belts Clean and DrySeat belts should be kept clean and dry. If
belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by
using a mild soap solution and warm wa-
ter. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abra-
sives should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle has
been involved in an accident. This should
be done even if no damage is visible.
Additional questions concerning seat belt
operation should be directed to your
Hyundai Dealer.B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt 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.

WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.
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.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually 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.
