Safety features of your vehicle
5. To use the rear seat, lift and pull the
seatback backward. Push back the
seatback firmly until it clicks into place.
Make sure the seatback is locked in
place. When you return the seatback
to its upright position, always be sure it
has locked into position by pushing on
the top of the seatback.
6. Return the rear seat belt to the proper
position.
CAUTION- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position. Routing the
seat belt webbing through the rear
seat belt guides will help keep the
belts from being trapped behind or
under the seats.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care of objects should be
taken when placing them in the rear
seats, since those may hit the front
seat occupants in a frontal colli-
sion.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is securely
applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadver-
tently moved to another position.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly. If the seatback
is returned without holding it, the
back of the seat could spring for-
ward resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being
folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seatback. Otherwise, in
an accident or sudden stop, the
seat could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger com-
partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.

Features of your vehicle
A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the driver’s seat,
outside rearview mirror and steering
wheel position or the instrument panel
illumination intensity with a simple button
operation. By saving the desired posi-
tions into the system memory, different
drivers can reposition the positions
based upon their driving preference. If
the battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be erased.
✽NOTICE
• If the battery is disconnected, the
memory settings will be erased.
• If the Driver Position Memory System
does not operate normally, we recom-
mend that you have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Storing memory positions
1. Move the shift lever into P (for
Automatic transaxle) or Neutral (for
manual transaxle) while the ignition
switch or the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position.
2. Adjust the driver's seat position, out-
side rearview mirror position and
instrument panel illumination intensity
to the desired position.
3. Press the SET button. The system will
beep once.
4. Press one of the memory buttons (1 or
2) within 5 seconds. The system will
beep twice when the memory has
been successfully stored.
5.
"Driver 1 (or 2) settings saved" will
appear on the LCD display.
DRIVER POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
