Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light on the instrument cluster
will blink for approximately 6 seconds
each time you place the ignition switch in
the ON position regardless of belt fasten-ing.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened after
the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the seat belt warning light will blink again
for approximately 6 seconds.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position or if it is unfastened after the
ignition switch is in the ON position, the
seat belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 6 seconds. At this time, if
the seat belt is fastened, the chime will
stop at once. (if equipped)
Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the metal tab (1) into the buckle
(2). 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 por-
tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for-
ward 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.
✽✽
NOTICE
If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from the
retractor, firmly pull the seat belt out
and release it. After release, you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.

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 activate and pullthe seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, theload limiter inside the pre-tensioner willrelease some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt. (if equipped)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious injury.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
Do not hit the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
(Continued)
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be worn cor- rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags

If a larger child over age 13 must be seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the availablelap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat.Transporting an injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific recom-
mendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of
your restraint system (seat belts and/or
air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve the
maximum effectiveness of the restraintsystem, all passengers should be sittingup and the front and rear seats should be
in an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide prop-
er protection if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front or rear seatsare in a reclined position.
WARNING
Always make sure children are wearing their seat belts and that
they are properly adjusted beforedriving.
NEVER allow the shoulder belt to contact the child’s neck or face.
Do not allow more than one child to use a single seat belt.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seat- back when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the
seatbacks upright.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions. The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steeringwheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box. The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengerswith additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone incase of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-tions:
Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Adjust the front passenger’s and driver’s seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
Do not allow the passenger to ride in the front seat when the front
passenger’s air bag OFF indicatoris illuminated.
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.
