WARNING- Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
(Continued)
WARNING- Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seat-
back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
seat is reclined during an accident,
the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi-
cle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and passenger. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seat belt during an acci-
dent or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt can't operate
normally.
WARNING
• Do not adjust the seat while wear-
ing seat belts. Moving the seat
cushion forward may cause
strong pressure on the abdomen.
• Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
• Do not put a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you oper-
ate the seat, gas may gush out of
the lighter and cause fire.
WARNING- Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. We recom-
mend that your chest be at least
250 mm (10 inches) away from
the steering wheel.

Front seat adjustment - power
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control knob located on the outside of
the seat cushion. Before driving, adjust
the seat to the proper position so as to
easily control the steering wheel, pedals
and switches on the instrument panel.
C010201AUN
Forward and backward
Push the control knob forward or back-
ward to move the seat to the desired
position. Release the knob once the seat
reaches the desired position.
CAUTION
• The power seat is driven by an
electric motor. Stop operating
once the adjustment is complet-
ed. Excessive operation may
damage the electrical equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seat consumes a large amount of
electrical power. To prevent
unnecessary charging system
drain, don’t adjust the power seat
longer than necessary while the
engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more power
seat control knobs at the same
time. Doing so may result in
power seat motor or electrical
component malfunction.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with the
ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be
left unattended in the car.

Climate control seat (if equipped)
The climate control seat is provided to
cool or warm the front seats during hot or
cold weather by blowing air through small
vent hole on the surface of the seats and
seatbacks. While the engine is running,
push the rear portion of the switch to cool
the driver's seat or the front passenger's
seat (if equipped), and push the front
portion of the switch to warm the driver’s
seat or the front passenger’s seat (if
equipped).
When the operation of the climate control
seat is not needed, keep the switches in
the OFF position.• Each time you push the switch, the air-
flow is changed as follows:
• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the climate con-
trol seat operating, the climate control
seat will turn OFF.
• The climate control seat defaults to the
OFF position whenever the ignition
switch is turned on.
OBH038009L
CAUTION
• The climate control seat is a sup-
plementary cooling/heating sys-
tem. Use the climate control seat
when the climate control system
is on. Using the climate control
seat for prolonged periods of time
with the climate control system
off could cause the climate con-
trol seat performance to impair.
• When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the seats.
• Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages on the surface of
the front seats and seatbacks, or
the air vent holes may be blocked
and prevented from working
properly.
• Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake
can be blocked.
• When the air vent does not oper-
ate, restart the vehicle. If there is
no change, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.OFF→HIGH( )→MIDDLE( )→LOW( )

Safety features of your vehicle
Push the rear portion of the control
switch, then seat cushion moves back-
ward and seatback returns to upright
position.
For easier passenger loading, if the rear
seat is in any forward position and the
rear door is opened, the seat will auto-
matically move to the rear position. The
seat will not move back to the original
position when the door is closed and
must be repositioned by the passenger if
desired.
✽NOTICE
Do not continue to push the control
switch once the seat is moved to the far-
thest forward or rear positions. Doing
so may damage the related parts.

provided to move front passenger seat
forward and backward (1), and adjust the
recliner (2) from the rear seats. The
switches are located on the rear seat
center armrest (B). Do not use these
switches while the front passenger seat
is occupied.

Headrest
The rear seat is equipped with headrests
in all the seating positions for the occu-
pant's safety and comfort.

the head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
WARNING
Use extreme caution so that hands
or other objects are not caught in
the seat mechanisms while the seat
is moving.
Do not adjust the seat while wear-
ing seat belts. Moving the seat
cushion forward may cause strong
