This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describessome of the things not to do when
using seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed tosupplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not a
substitute. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.
SSEE AA TT BB EELLTT SS
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the followingprecautions when adjusting andwearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in therear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must be
seated in the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble and properly restrain themin the seat belt.
NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’slap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not allow children to share a seat or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properlyin an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

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.
