Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING -Loose
objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING -Driver
responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a seat is reclined during
an accident, the occupant’s
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt, apply-
ing great force to the unprotect-
ed abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the pas-
senger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever
the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly
and be sure there are no other
occupants around the seat. If
the seatback is returned with-
out being held and controlled,
the back of the seat could
spring forward resulting in acci-
dental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING
Occupants should never sit on
seat cushions. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt during
an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate normally.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
To avoid serious injury or death:
Never attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident
causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere 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 col-
lision.
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your
chest be at least 10 inches
(250 mm) away from the steer-
ing wheel.

WARNING - Rear
seatbacks
The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, pas-
sengers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or col-
lision.
No passenger should ride in
the cargo area or sit or lie on
folded seatbacks while the
vehicle is moving. All passen-
gers must be properly seated
in seats and restrained prop-
erly while riding.
When resetting the seatback
to the upright position, make
sure it is securely latched by
pushing it forward and rear-
wards.
To avoid the possibility of
burns, do not remove the car-
pet in the cargo area. Emission
control devices beneath this
floor generate high tempera-
tures.
(Continued)(Continued)
Luggage and other cargo
should be laid flat in the cargo
area or on the folded rear
seatback. If objects are large,
heavy, or must be piled, they
must be secured. Under no
circumstances should cargo
be piled higher than the seat-
backs. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in seri-
ous injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop, colli-
sion or rollover.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to
move the seat forward or
reverse without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-
pected movement of the dri-
ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while
wearing 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 place a cigarette
lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
CAUTION
If there is a car accident, seats
need to be inspected at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
