B110A01MC-AATFolding Rear Seatbacks (4Door)The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer
objects than could otherwise be accom-
modated.
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 in-
jury 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 sud-
den stops.
To fold down the seatback :1. Slide forward and upright the front
seats before folding down.
2. Lower the headrests to the lowest
position.

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:

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A04A-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics provided by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats than in the front
seat. Larger children not in a child re-
straint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific re-
quirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. You must
use a commercially available child re-
straint system that meets the requirements
of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt, or by a ISOFIX system (If Installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.

B240D02NF-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the
cargo area (trunk) or on top of a
folded-down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
oEach seat belt is designed to re-
strain one occupant. If more than one
person uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve oc-
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection pro-
vided by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
!
WARNING:
o No objects should be placed over or
near the airbag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to cause the
airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be
replaced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re-
sult in injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the airbags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. Your
Hyundai dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
o If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on floor-
ing, you shouldn't try to start the
engine; have the car towed to an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help
you load your vehicle the right
way.
The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
– like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else – they move as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strike the driver or a
passenger.
!
WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something in-
side the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.
