lication. However, HYUNDAI reserves the right to make changes at
any time so that our policy of continual product improvement may be

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.
Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)
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.
Power adjustment
(if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
NEVER allow children in the
vehicle unattended. Children
might push the adjustment
switch accidently and get caught
in the seat mechanisms while the
seat is moving.

Ventilated front seats
(if equipped)
The ventilated front seats are provid-

surface of the seat cushions and
seatbacks.
When the operation of the ventilated
seat is not needed, keep the switch-
es in the OFF position.

To prevent damage to the ventilated
seat:
Use the ventilated seat ONLY
when the climate control system
is on. Using the ventilated seat for
prolonged periods of time with
the climate control system off
could cause the ventilated seat to
malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gaso-
line 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.
Do not change the seat covers. It
may damage the ventilated seat.
If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.NOTICE
