•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 seat belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.
NOTICE
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.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back 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
seatback is completely locked into
its upright position by pushing on
the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud
den stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the pas
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
manual transaxle is in R (Reverse)
or 1st, 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.

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it 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 portion is adjusted manually so
that it fits snugly around your hips. If
you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let
you move around. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
Information
If you are not able to pull out the safe
ty belt from the retractor, firmly pull
the belt out and release it. After
release, you will be able to pull the belt
out smoothly.
Height adjustment (if equipped)
You can adjust the height of the shoul
der belt anchor to one of 3 positions
for maximum comfort and safety.
The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck.
You will not be getting the most effec
tive protection. The shoulder portion
should be adjusted so that it lies
across your chest and midway over
your shoulder near the door and not
your neck.

You should place the lap belt por
tion as low as possible and snugly
across your hips, not on your waist.
If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of a
collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one
should be over and the other
under, as shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the
arm nearest the door.

To fasten a 2point static type belt,
insert the metal tab into the locking
buckle. There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the

belt, press the button (1) in the lock
ing buckle.
Pretensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pretensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu
pant's body in certain frontal colli
sions. The pretensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the frontal collision 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 pretensioner will acti
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
OGS035044
The center lap belt latching mech
anism is different from those for
the rear seat shoulder belts. When
fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make
sure they are inserted into the cor
rect buckles to obtain maximum
protection from the seat belt sys
tem and assure proper operation.
WARNING
OLMB03309
•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 twist
ed seat belt will not protect you
properly in an accident.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func
tion improperly.
•Always replace your pretension
ers after activation or an acci
dent.
•NEVER inspect, service, repair or

in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver
tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win
dows, or lock themselves or oth
ers inside the vehicle.

•Never allow a child to standup or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli
sion or sudden stop, the child can
be violently thrown against the
vehicles interior, resulting in seri
ous injury.
•Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro
vide adequate security in an acci
dent.
•Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten
ing them over a child.
•After an accident, we recom
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.
