Seat belt warning (if equipped)
As a reminder to the driver (or front
passemgers)*, the driver’s (or front
passemger’s)* seat belt warning
lights will illuminate for approximate
ly 6 seconds each time you turn the
ignition switch ON regardless of belt
fastening.
If the driver’s (or front passemger’s)*
seat belt is not fastened when the
ignition switch is turned ON or if it is
disconnected after the ignition switch
is turned ON, the seat belt warning
light will illuminate until the belt is
fastened.
(Continued)
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu
pant's lap.
•No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper
ating to remove slack, or prevent
the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•When you fasten the seat belt, be
careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan
gerous and you may not be pro
tected by the seat belt properly.
•Do not unfasten the seat belt and
do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam
age.
•When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt does
not pass
over objects that are
hard or can break easily.
•Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle. The seat belt may not be
fastened securely.

Lap\fshoulder 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. You should place the lap belt (1) por
tion across your hips and the shoul
der belt (2) por tion across your
chest.
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.

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.

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. The seat belt pretensioner system
consists mainly of the following com
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pretensioner assembly
(3) SRS control module
OIB034039
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or twist
ed and always sit properly on your
seat.

Information
• When the pretensioner seat beltsare 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 harmless, 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.
• \fecause the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the
pretensioner seat belt, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instru
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the ON position, and then it should
turn off. If the pretensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no mal
function of the SRS air bag.
If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illuminating
for approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend that the sy
s
tem be ins p

ected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICEi
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pretensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your
vehicle’s occupant safety fea
tures – including seat belts and
air bags – that are provided in
this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen gers always wear seat belts
properly.

Seat belt precautions
•Pretensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti
vation, pretensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
•The pretensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not touch
the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
•Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pretensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Do not strike the pretensioner
seat belt assemblies.

WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden
stop. Without a seat belt, occu
pants could be shifted too close to
a deploying air bag, strike the inte
rior structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the preca

utions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant seating contained in this
manual.
WARNING
•Improper handling of the pre
tensioner seat belt assemblies,
and failure to heed the warnings
not to strike, modify, inspect,
replace, service or repair the
pretensioner seat belt assem
blies may lead to improper oper
ation or inadvertent activation
and serious injury.
•Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a motor
vehicle.
•If the vehicle or pretensioner
seat belt must be discarded, we
recommend that yo
u contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the pre
tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and\for infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use
of these restraints, refer to “Child
restraint system” in this section.Information
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. \fefore buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standards of your country. The
restraint must be appropriate for your
child's height and weight. Check the
label on the child restraint for this
information. Refer to “Child restraint
system” in this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap\fshoulder belts. The lap
por tion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap\fshoul
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.i
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained at
all times, including infants and
children. Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a vehi
cle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.
