Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up theseatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.) Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protection of
your restraint system (seat belts and air
bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your
seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead, it
will be in front of you. During an 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 passen-
ger's neck will strike the shoulder belt.
Seat cushion height
To change the height of the seat cushion:
Push down on the lever several times,
to lower the seat cushion.
Pull up on the lever several times, to raise the seat cushion.

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 col-
lision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat-
backs upright.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices, includ-
ing booster seats. The age at which seat
belts can be used instead of child
restraints differs among states, so you
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state, and where you are
travelling. Infant and child restraints must
be properly placed and installed in a rear
seat. For more information refer to the
"Child Restraint Systems" section in this
chapter.Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to the
"Child Restraint Systems" section 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 avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt
should lie across the upper thighs and be
snug across the shoulder and chest to
restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. 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. Always have the LATCH sys-
tem inspected by your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer after an accident. An
accident can damage the LATCH system
and may not properly secure the child
restraint.
If a larger child over age 13 must be seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es 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 appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death to a child and other pas-
sengers, NEVER hold a child in
your lap or arms when the vehicle
is moving. The violent forces creat-
ed during an accident will tear the
child from your arms and throw the
child against the interior of the
vehicle.
