B110A01NF-GATREAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatbackso To unlock the seatback, pull the
seatback release lever, then pull for-
ward on the seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it has
locked into position by pulling and push-
ing on the top of the seatback.
B110A01TG
!
WARNING:
The purpose of the folding rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer
objects than could otherwise be accom-
modated. Do not allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down seatback, 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 car-
ried 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.
B085D01TG-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce
the risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower
the headrest, push it down while pressing
the lock knob. To remove the headrest,
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 occu-
pied.

B140A01S-AATREAR SEAT WARNINGFor the safety of all passengers, luggage
or other cargo should not be piled higher
than the top of the seatback. In addition, do
not place objects on the rear shelf as they
may move forward during braking or in an
accident and may strike and injure vehicle
passengers.

REAR SEATBACK SAFETY LOCKIf the rear seatback lock knob (located on
the backside of the rear seatback) is in the
"LOCK" position when the rear seatbacks
are upright and closed, it will not be pos-
sible to fold the rear seatback by using the
seatback release lever. In this instance,
move the lock knob to the "UNLOCK" po-
sition and fold the rear seatback. The rear
seatback lock knob is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry into the
trunk.

WARNING:
B080D02TG-1
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. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback should not be
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.

SEAT BELTS!
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. With-
out 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 ad-
vanced airbags, unbelted occupants can
be severely injured by a deploying airbag.
Always follow the precautions about seat
belts, airbags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.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
1-34.
!
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, see page 1-34.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 1-34.
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.

B160A02A-AATCARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback
was folded down, be careful not to dam-
age the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be
sure that the webbing or buckle does not
get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A
seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle
will not be as strong and could possibly
fail during a collision or sudden stop,
resulting in serious injury.
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.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.
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback increases
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 airbags) is greatly re-
duced by reclining your seat. Seat belts
must be snug against your hips and chest
to work properly. The more the seatback
is reclined, the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under the lap
belt causing serious internal injuries or
the occupant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers
should always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted (see page 1-30), and with
the seatbacks upright.
!
B150G02A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve maxi-
mum effectiveness of the restraint system,
all passengers should be sitting up and the
front seats should be in an upright position
when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot
provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat
is in a reclined position.

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.
B170A04A-AATHEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELTYou can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of 4 positions for maxi-
mum 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.
HTG2058 B160B01A-AAT
Periodic 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.
!
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
down to make sure that it has locked into
position.
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.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI30
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking retrac-
tor 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 secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates
in the same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It
automatically 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. When the seat belt is
fully extended from the retractor to allow
the installation of a child restraint system,
the seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend (Auto-
matic Locking Retractor Type). See page
1-39.NOTE:o Although the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection
for seated passengers in either emer-
gency or automatic locking modes, it
is recommended that seated passen-
gers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience.
B190A02TG-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com-
bination Locking RetractorCombination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a combination
retractor is also installed in the front passen-
ger seat position, Hyundai strongly recom-
mends that children always be seated in the
rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint
system in the front seat of the vehicle.
B180A02TG-AATSEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System
with Emergency Locking RetractorTo 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. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the belt will lock into posi-
tion. It will also lock if you try to lean forward
too quickly.
B180A01NF
NOTE:o If you are not able to pull out the seat
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.
o If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, the seat belt warning
light will blink and the warning chime
will sound for approximately six sec-
onds to remind the driver to fasten the
driver's seat belt. See page 1-68.

WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, the seat belts must always be
used whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
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.
!The automatic locking function is in-
tended to facilitate child restraint in-
stallation. To convert from the auto-
matic locking feature to the emergency
locking operation mode, allow the un-
buckled seat belt to fully retract.
o If the front passenger's seat belt is not
fastened when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, the seat
belt warning light on the center fascia
panel will blink for approximately six
seconds to remind the front passen-
ger to fasten the front passenger's
seat belt. See page 1-68.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 positioned
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, replace
it.
WARNING:
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.
