SEAT BELTS
B150A01A-DAT The use of seat belts reduces the risk of accident injury by avoiding collision with the interior of the car and by pre- venting the occupants from being thrownout of the car. This makes them the most important safety feature available for you and your passengers. Adequateprotection is afforded only when the belt is worn correctly. You should always fasten and adjust your seatbelts beforethe car is put in motion and encourage your passengers to do the same.
WARNING:
Seat belts are designed to bear uponthe 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. A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid con-tamination of the webbing with pol- ishes, oils and chemicals, and par- ticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be re- placed if webbing becomes frayed,contaminated or damaged. It is es- sential to replace the entire assem- bly after it has been worn in a severeimpact even if damage to the assem- bly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Eachbelt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be 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.

B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-DAT When to Replace Seat Belts Complete seat belt assembly or as- semblies should be replaced if thevehicle has been involved in an acci- dent. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional ques-tions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer. B170A02MC-AAT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT SHOULDER BELT You can adjust the height of the shoul- der belt anchor to one of the 4 or 5 positions for maximum 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 ad- justed so that it lies across your chest and midway over your shoulder near-est the door and not your neck. To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor, lower or raise the height ad-juster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up.
B150B01A-DAT
Maintenance of Seat Belts When cleaning the seat belts, as recommended, avoid getting solutions into the buckle where they may attackthe lubricant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye belts, as this may affect the webbing strength. NOTE: Do not attempt any form of modifi- cations or repairs to seat belt com- ponents. If the retractor or other components do not operate cor- rectly, call an authorised HyundaiDealer, who will take the necessary corrective action. Your authorised dealer will inspect all seat belt com-ponents at regular intervals and advise if replacement is required. Between these inspections youshould make regular checks to en- sure that foreign objects are not preventing complete buckle en-gagement.

B230B01E-DAT Using a Child Restraint System For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required. This child seat or infant seat should beof appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Your vehicle is provided with three child restraint anchorage points for installing the child seat or infantseat. Child Restraint Hook Holder Spacer

o When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the boot or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in
the case of a sudden stop or acci-dent.
o A child restraint system should be
placed in the vehicle's rear seatsince this can make an important contribution to safety.
o Unrestrained children should not
be carried in the car. Holding achild in your arms is not a satis- factory substitute for a child re- straint system. A child held in this manner can be crushed be-tween your body and the interior of the car.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle. This could result in serious in-jury or death to the child in the event of an accident or sudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not offer protection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wear-ing a seat belt. o Never use an infant carrier or child
safety seat that "hooks" over aseatback; it may not provide ad- equate security in an accident.
o Under all circumstances the at- taching bolt must be engaged atleast 5 full threads in the anchor- age. If you are in doubt with anyaspect of this installation please contact an authorised Hyundai dealer.
