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
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of grav-
ity of most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possible. For
this reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury
to the occupants may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against neck inju-
ries when properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest position
of the driver's seat while the vehicle
is in motion.

B110A02MC-AATFolding Rear SeatbacksThe 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 seatback or cargo area
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.

B150B03A-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 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. Information
about the use of these restraints begins
on page 1-31.
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 1-31.
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 1-31.
B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should be
fastened 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.
B160D01A-AATWhen to Replace Seat BeltsEntire in-use seat belt assemblies should
be replaced if the vehicle has been in-
volved in an accident. This should be
done even if no damage is visible. Addi-
tional questions concerning seat belt
operation should be directed to your
Hyundai Dealer.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
water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or
abrasives should not be used because
they may damage and weaken the fabric.
B170A02MC-AATHEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT
B170A01MC
You can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for
maximum comfort and safety.
If the height of the 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 shoul-
der nearest the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt an-
chor, lower or raise the height adjuster
into an appropriate position. To raise the
height adjuster, pull it up.
B160B01A-AATPeriodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be
inspected periodically for wear or dam-
age of any kind. Parts of the system that
are damaged should be replaced as soon
as possible.

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI26
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

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.

CAUTION:
o Adjust the shoulder belt height when
you sit well back in the seat.
o When adjusting the shoulder belt
height, grip the height adjuster but-
ton securely and slide the height
adjuster up or down.
o If the shoulder belt anchor is not
moved, grasp the shoulder part of
the belt and pull forward to the full.
