raise it as far as it can go then press the
lock knob while pulling upward. This
should only be done when the seat is not
occupied.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height as the
top of the occupant's eyes. The use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury
to an occupant may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly adjusted.

B080G01MC-AATFolding Rear Seatback and Seat
Cushion (3 Door)For greater convenience, the entire
seatback may be folded down and the
seat cushion may be folded up.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear seat
back and the fold-up rear seat cushion is
to allow you to carry more objects than
could be accommodated. Do not 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 seri-
ous 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 dam-
age during sudden stops.
!
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. Do not allow the seat
belt webbing or buckle to get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the top of
the seatback. Otherwise, in an accident
or sudden stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in se-
rious injury or death.When you return the seatback to its up-
right position, always be sure it has locked
into position by pushing on the top of the
seatback.
CAUTION:
!
o In order to prevent the center shoul-
der belt from being damaged while
folding the rear seat, disconnect the
metal tab (A) from the buckle (B). To
disconnect the metal tab (A) from
the buckle (B) , insert a narrow-ended
tool into the groove located on the
buckle(B).

SEAT BELTS
B140A01S-AATREAR SEAT WARNINGFor the safety of all passengers, luggage

B150A02S-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 airbag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced airbags, unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured by a de-
ploying airbag. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, airbags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
6. Fold down the seat back forward.

careful not to damage the seat belt web-
bing or buckle. In addition, do not allow
the seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.

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 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. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.B180A01MC-AATSEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System

o If the shoulder belt anchor is not
moved, grasp the shoulder part of
the belt and pull forward to the full.

WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropri-
ate height. Never position the shoul-
der belt across your neck or face.
Improperly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an acci-
dent.
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 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 position.

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.

WARNING:

B200A01A-AATAdjusting Your Seat Belt
WARNING:You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.
B200A01NF
o Children age 12 and younger must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If a
child over 13 must be seated in the
front seat, he/she must be properly
belted and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
o Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
can cause serious injuries in a crash.
The shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoulder
across your collarbone.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A
twisted belt can't do its job as well. In
a collision, it could even cut into you.
Be sure the belt webbing is straight
and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt web-
bing or hardware is damaged, re-
place it. When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt opera-
tion changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). See page 1-38.
NOTE:Although the combination retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom-
mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode, al-
low the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-
tract.
!
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, seat belts must always be
used whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.
