B190A03A-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com-
bination Locking Retractor :
To Fasten Your BeltCombination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat outboard and
center positions to help accommodate
the installation of child restraint systems.
Hyundai strongly recommends that chil-
dren always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system
in the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking re-
tractor seat belt and an automatic locking
retractor seat belt. 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. When not securing a child
restraint, the seat belt operates in the
same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It auto-
matically adjusts to the proper length only
after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is
adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. *1) Warning pattern repeats 11 times with
interval 24 seconds. If the driver's seat
belt is buckled, the light will stop within
6 seconds and chime will stop imme-
diately.
*2) The light will stop within 6 seconds
and chime will stop immediately.

moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be vio-
lently thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious injury.

equate security in an accident.

pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.

the "Tether Anchorage" SystemFor small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
