SEAT BELTS
•For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
•Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned mid
way over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, the seat belt
can damage it.
•Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do its
job as well. In a collision, it could
even cut into you. Be sure the
belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
•Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If the
belt webbing or hardware is
damaged, replace it.
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
tamination of the webbing with pol
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

Information
• Both the driver's and front passen ger's pretensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or sidecollisions.
• The pretensioners will be activated even if the seat belts are not worn at
the time of the collision.
• When the pretensioner 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 nontoxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci
dent in which the pretensioner seat
belts were activated.Additional seat belt safety pre
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be us ed
during pregnancy. The best way to
prot ect your u nborn child is to prot ect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lapshoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, rout
ed between your breasts and away
from your neck. Place the lap belt
below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY
across your hips and pelvic bone,
under the rou nded part of t he belly.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children to
tr av el in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can
be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and
where you are travelling. Infant and
Child Restraint System must be prop
erly placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
i
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to an unborn child during
an accident, pregnant women
should NEVER place the lap por
tion of the seat belt above or over
the area of the abdomen where
the unborn child is located.
WARNING

2-28
Safety system of your vehicle
Small children are best prot ected from
injury in an accident when prop erly
restrained in the rear seat by a Child
Restraint System that meets the
requirements of t he Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Safety
Standard of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the Child Restraint System for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches 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 in the rear seat.
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a Child Restraint
System appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passen
gers, NEVER hold a child in your lapor arms when the vehicle is moving.
The violent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Always make sure larger chil
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•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.

Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec
ommendations.
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 dan
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. Duringan accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
•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.
•Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replaced
immediately.

Children always in the rear
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min
imize the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, chil
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
Systems. The laws governing the
age or height/weight restrictions at
which seat belts can be used instead
of Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer
cially available Child Restraint System
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child Restraint Systems are general
ly designed to be secured in a vehi
cle seat by lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a
toptether and/or ISOFIX anchorage
in the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rearward
facing or forwardfacing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the rear
seat of the vehicle. Read and comply
with the instructions for installation
and use provided by the manufacturer
of the Child Restraint System.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
•Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
•Always properly restrain your child
in the Child Restraint System.
•Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over a
seatback, it may not provide ade
quate protection in an accident.
•After an accident, we recommend a
HYUNDAI dealer check the Child
Restraint System, seat belts,
ISOFIX anchorages and toptether
anchorages.
WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the rear seats of the vehicle,
unless the air bag on the front
passenger seat is deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat. A
child riding in the front passenger
seat can be forcefully struck by an
inflating air bag resulting in SERI
OUS INJURY or DEATH.

•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.
