WARNING:
o When you return the folded down seatback to its upright position, make sure the seat belts are inposition to be accessible and to function properly.
o When you return the folded down seatback to its upright position,care should be taken not to in- jure hands or legs.
o The purpose of the fold down rear seatback and the fold for-ward rear seat cushion is to in-crease cargo space. Do not allow passengers to sit in the cargo area while the car is moving. Thisis not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use when the seatback isfolded down. Passengers who are not properly seated and wear- ing seat belts could sustain seri-ous injuries or death in case of an accident or a sudden stop. o Objects should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seatback to its upright position,always be sure to install the head-rests in their proper positions. Headrests are important to the safety of occupants in a rear col-lision. If the headrests are not installed in their proper position, serious injury or death could re- sult if a rear end collision occurs.
4. To secure the seat, hook the secur-
ing strap under the seat back to the headrest stay of front driver and passenger seat.
5. To return the seatback and seat
cushion to its normal position, re-verse the above procedure.
o When you return the seatback to its upright position, always be sure it is locked into position by pulling andpushing on the top of seatback.

B150A01A-DAT SEAT BELTS The use of seat belts reduces the risk of accident injury by avoiding collisionwith the interior of the car and by preventing the occupants from being thrown out of the car. This make it themost important safety feature avail- able for you and your passengers. Adequate protection is achieved onlywhen the belt is worn correctly. You should always fasten and adjust your belts before the car is put in motion andencourage your passengers to do the same. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the water. Care should be taken to avoid con- tamination of the webbing withpolishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out usingmild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage tothe assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each seat belt assemblymust only be used by one occu- pant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on theoccupant's lap.
WARNING:
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the frontof the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across theabdominal area must be avoided. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. WARNING:
No modifications or additions shouldbe made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting de-vices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.B140A01B-GAT REAR SEAT WARNING
For the safety of all passengers, lug- gage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. B140A01TB

The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluidconforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci- fications should be added. After add- ing fluid, if no other trouble is found, thecar should be carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method. YourHyundai is equipped with dual-diago- nal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even ifone of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlya portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additionalengine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
