SEAT BELTS
WARNING
• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car is
moving.
• Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
• Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in the
front seat, he/she must be properly
belted and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
• Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder
belt can cause serious injuries in
a crash. The shoulder belt should
be positioned midway over your
shoulder across your collarbone.
• Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A
twisted belt can’t do its job as well. In
a collision, it could even cut into you.
Be sure the belt webbing is straight
and not twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is damaged,
replace it.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort, to
provide the protection for which they
have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious. Belts should
not be worn with straps twisted. Each
belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a
belt around a child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a bad
influence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Since the refrigerant is
operated at very high
pressure, the air
conditioning system should
only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals
and environment. Failure to heed these
warnings can lead to serious injuries.

Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from
recirculation mode to fresh mode.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
• During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine speed
as the air conditioning compressor
cycles. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system
performance.
• When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side of
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause the
outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection button to
the
position and set the fan speed
control knob to the lowest speed
setting.
