Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback 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 orig-
inal position for the seatback to
lock.)Reclining seatback
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.
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 passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
OAE036003NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous 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.

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Front retractor pre-tensioner
(3) SRS control module
(4) Rear retractor pre-tensioner
(if equipped)
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with
the pre–tensioner seat belts. The
SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illu-
minate even if the SRS control
module is not malfunctioning. If
the warning light does not illumi-
nate when the vehicle is turned
ON, stays illuminated or illumi-
nates when the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS
air bags be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Information
• Both the driver's and front passen-
ger's pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions.
• The pre-tensioners will be activated
even if the seat belts are not worn at
the time of the collision.
• When the pre-tensioner 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 non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be inhaled for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.

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. Before buying any
Child Restraint System, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it
meets Safety Standard of your coun-
try. The Child Restraint System must
be appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
Child Restraint System for this informa-
tion. Refer to “Child Restraint Systems”
in this chapter.Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat should
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. In the event of an acci-
dent, children are afforded the best
safety restrained by a proper Child
Restraint System in the rear seats.
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 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.
