2023 HYUNDAI I20 rear seat

3-10
Safety system
Rear seats (if equipped)
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING

[Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback whilst
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death in
case of an accident or sudden stop.

[Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the
lowest position (if equipped with
adjustable head restraints).

3. Insert the rear lap/shoulder belt plate
into the holder on the side trim. It will
prevent the lap/shoulder belt from
interfering with the seatback when
folding.

4. Pull up the seatback lever and fold
the seatback toward the front of the
vehicle.
To use the rear seat, lift and push up the
seatback backward. Push the seatback
firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure
the seatback is locked in place.
When returning the rear seatbacks to
the upright position, remember to return
the rear shoulder belts to their proper
position.

WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position after being folded
down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. Do not allow the
seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.
Ensure that the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sudden
stop, the seat could fold down and
allow cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTICE

[When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember to
return the rear shoulder belts to their
proper position.

[Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the seat belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
Automatic transmission/Dual clutch
transmission is in N (Neutral) or the
Manual transmission is in R (Reverse)
or the 1st gear, and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.

Head restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:

[Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.

[NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.

[
ODN8039067L
Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraints is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.

[NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.

[Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.

[Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraint to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraint can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.

vehicle with the rear passenger left in
the vehicle.

Safety system
WARNING
Rear Occupant Alert does not actually
detect objects or people in the rear
seat. By using a rear door opened and
closed history, the system informs the
driver that there may be something in
the rear seat.
CAUTION
Rear Occupant Alert uses a rear opened
and closed history.
The history is reset after the drive
turns off ignition normally, gets off the
vehicle and locks the door remotely
using the remote keyless entry. So even
if a rear door does not reopen, Rear
Occupant Alert alerts can occur.
For example, after Rear Occupant Alert
alerts occur, if the driver do not lock
the door then ride and drive again, the
alert can occur.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip.
Air bags (if equipped) are designed
to supplement the seat belt as an
additional safety device, but they are
not a substitute. Most countries require
all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

[ALWAYS properly restrain children
under age 13 in the rear seats.

[NEVER allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. If a child age 13
or older must be seated in the front
seat, move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain them
in the seat.

[NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.

[NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.

[Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.

[Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.

[Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.

[Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.
[Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.

[NEVER unfasten the seat belt
whilst driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat belt
latch mechanism. This may prevent
the seat belt from fastening securely.

[No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack. WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:

[Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.

[Damaged hardware.

[The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.
