of the rear seat. Pull the armrest
down from the seatback to use it.
You will find cup holders on the cen-
ter armrest.

The vehicle’s front and rear seats

but more importantly they aredesigned to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,especially in a rear impact collision.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is atthe same height as the height
of the top of the eyes (see dia-gram).
NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
Make sure the headrest locks into position after adjusting it.
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull on the headrests.

It will also lock if you try to lean for-
ward too quickly.

Seat Belt – Passenger’s 3-pointsystem with combination locking retractor
This type of seat belt combines the
features of both an emergency lock-
ing retractor seat belt and an auto-
matic locking retractor seat belt.
Combination retractor type seat beltsare installed in the rear seat positionsto help accommodate the installation
of child restraint systems. Although a
combination retractor is also installedin the front passenger seat position,
NEVER place any infant restraint sys-
tem in the front seat of the vehicle.
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the buck-
le. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way
as the driver's seat belt (Emergency
Locking Retractor Type). It automati-cally adjusts to the proper length only
after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly across your hips. When the seat belt is fully extended
from the retractor to allow the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, the
seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
Refer to “Using a Child Restraint
System” in this chapter.
✽✽
NOTICE
Although the seat belt retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emer-
gency or automatic locking modes,
the emergency locking mode allows
seated passengers to move freely in
their seat while keeping some tension
on the belt. During a collision or sud-
den stop, the retractor automatically
locks the belt to help restrain your
body. To deactivate the automatic
locking mode, allow the unbuckled
seat belt to fully retract. To release your seat belt:
Press the release button (1) in the
locking buckle. When it is released, the belt should
automatically draw back into the
retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt to be sure it is not twist-
ed, then try again.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belts that
malfunction may not protect you
properly during an accident.
Take the following precautions:
Always wear your seat belt
and sit properly in your seat.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an acci-dent.
Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it
to function improperly.
Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or anaccident.
NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's Pre-Tensioner
Seat Belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure the seatbelts fit tightly against the occupant's
body in certain frontal collisions. The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal col-
lision is severe enough.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver’s or passenger'sseat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.

✽✽NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front pas- senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
or side collisions or rollovers.
 The pre-tensioners will not be acti- vated if the seat belts are not worn
at the time of the collision.
 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
 Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.3-point rear center seat belt

1. Extract the metal tab from the hole of the belt assembly cover and
slowly pull the metal tab out from
the retractor. 2. Insert the metal tab (A) into the
buckle (C). There will be an audi-
ble “click” when the tab locks into
the buckle. Make sure the belt isnot twisted.
