Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with the
seat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, whilst still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion
of the seat belt during an acci-
dent or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far
to the rear as possible main-
taining the ability to control the
vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to min-
imise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any-
one between you and the air
bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimise the risk
of leg injuries.

1. Pull up the seat slide adjustmentlever and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in place. Move
forward and rearward without using
the lever. If the seat moves, it is not
locked properly.
To prevent injury:
Do not adjust your seat whilst
wearing your seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion for-
ward may cause strong pres-
sure on your abdomen.
Do not allow your hands or
fingers to get caught in the
seat mechanisms whilst the
seat is moving.
CAUTION(Continued)
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the seat-
back.
Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may exit
out of the lighter causing a fire.
Use extreme caution when
picking up small objects
trapped under the seats or
between the seat and the cen-
tre console. Your hands might
be cut or injured by the sharp
edges of the seat mechanism.
If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful whilst
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.

Each time you push the switch, the airflow changes as follows:
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the air v enti-
lation seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF.
The air ventilation seats def aults to
the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position. To prevent damage to the air ven-
tilation seat:
Use the air ventilation seat ONLY
when the climate control system
is on. Using the air ventilation
seat for prolonged periods of
time with the climate control sys-
tem off could cause the air venti-
lation seat to malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or
petrol to clean the seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the sur- face of the front seats and seat-
backs; this may cause the air vent
holes to become blocked and not
work properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. They may block the air
intake causing the air vents to not
work properly.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not change the seat covers. It
may damage the air ventilation
seat.
If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, we recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
