SERIOUS BURN, even at low tem-
peratures and especially if used for
long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel if
the seat is becoming too warm so
they can turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect tempera-
ture change or pain to the skin
should use extreme caution, espe-
cially the following types of pas-
sengers:
Infants, children, elderly or dis-
abled persons, or hospital outpa-
tients.
People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.
Fatigued individuals.
Intoxicated individuals.
People taking medication that
can cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when
the seat warmer is in operation,
such as a blanket or seat cushion.
This may cause the seat warmer to
overheat, causing a burn or dam-
age to the seat.

Seat Belt-Driver's 3-point sys-tem with emergency lockingretractor
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. You should place the lap belt (1) portion
across your hips and the shoulder belt
(2) portion across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length 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 move with you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
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.
NOTICE
The front passenger's seat belt
warning light may not properly
operate if the front passenger does
not sit properly in the seat.

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following compo-
nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration above:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner
3. SRS control module
4. Emergency Fastening Device SystemThe sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–ten-
sioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is in the
ON position, and then it should turn
off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi-
nate even if the SRS air bag is not mal-
functioning. If the warning light does
not illuminate, stays illuminated or
illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belts and SRS air bags as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt
mechanism deploys during a colli-
sion, the pre-tensioners become
hot and can burn you.

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 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 restraint
system, all passengers should be sitting
up and the front and rear seats should be
in an upright position when the car is
moving.
A seat belt cannot provide proper protec-
tion if the person is lying down in the rear
seat or if the front or rear seats are in a
reclined position.
Care of Seat Belts
Seat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri-
odically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or assem-
blies should be replaced if the vehicle
has been involved in an accident. This
should be done even if no damage is vis-
ible. Additional questions concerning
seat belt operation should be directed to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Always make sure children are
wearing their seat belts and that
they are properly adjusted before
driving.
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.

Lower Anchors and Tether forChildren (LATCH System)
The LATCH system holds a child
restraint during driving and in an acci-
dent. This system is designed to make
installation of the child restraint easier
and reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your child restraint. The LATCH
system uses anchors in the vehicle and
attachments on the child restraint. The
LATCH system eliminates the need to
use seat belts to secure the child
restraint to the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors
for each LATCH seating position that will
accommodate a child restraint with lower
attachments. To use the LATCH system in your vehi-
cle, you must have a child restraint with
LATCH attachments.
The child seat manufacturer will provide
you with instructions on how to use the
child seat with its attachments for the
LATCH lower anchors.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
the left and right outboard rear seating
positions. Their locations are shown in
the illustration. There are no LATCH
anchors provided for the center rear
seating position.
A child restraint in a closed vehicle
can become very hot. To prevent
burns, check the seating surface
and buckles before placing your
child in the child restraint.
CAUTION
ODH033067
Do not attempt to install a child
restraint system using LATCH
anchors in the rear center seating
position. There are no LATCH
anchors provided for this seat.
Using the outboard seat anchors
can damage the anchors which
may break or fail in a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING

The lower anchor position indicator sym-
bols are located on the left and right rear
seat backs to identify the position of the
lower anchors in your vehicle (see arrows
in illustration).
The LATCH anchors are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.
Securing a child restraint withthe LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the lower anchors.
2. Move any other objects away from the anchors that could prevent a secure
connection between the child restraint
and the lower anchors.
3. Place the child restraint on the vehicle seat, then attach the seat to the lower
anchors according to the instructions
provided by the child restraint manu-
facturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instructions for properly adjusting and tightening
the lower attachments on the child
restraint to the lower anchors.

Take the following precautions
when using the LATCH system:
Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
child restraint system.
To prevent the child from reach-
ing and taking hold of unretract-
ed seat belts, buckle all unused
rear seat belts and retract the
seat belt webbing behind the
child. Children can be strangled if
a shoulder belt becomes
wrapped around their neck and
the seat belt tightens.
NEVER attach more than one
child restraint to a single anchor.
This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or
break.
Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer after an acci-
dent. An accident can damage
the LATCH system and may not
properly secure the child
restraint.
