Lap/shoulder 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) 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.

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

Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the
shoulder belt anchor to one of the
four different positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
The shoulder portion should be
adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) whilst
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has
locked into position.

Improperly positioned seat belts
may increase the risk of serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing precautions when adjust-
ing the seat belt:
•Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones
to absorb the force of the crash,
reducing the chance of internal
injuries.
WARNING
•Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illus-
tration.
•Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.
•Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.

not in use.• Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides
will help keep the belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's and rear pas-
sengers (if equipped) Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pretensioner).
The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to
make sure the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s). The
pre-tensioner seat belts may be acti-
vated in crashes where the frontal or
side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
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 pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
- Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant's upper body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s).
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the retrac-
tor pre-tensioner will release some of
the pressure on the affected seat belt.
•Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an acci-
dent.
•Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it
to function improperly.
•Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or an
accident.
•NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
OJS038071AU
The pre-tensioner will activate
not only in a frontal collision but
also in a side collision or
rollover, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain
air bag.
