Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers as much as seat
belts and airbags when in an accident.
WARNING 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 accident
or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.

Airbags
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag.
Sitting too close to an airbag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event the
airbag inflates. Move your seat as far back
as possible from front airbags while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while maintaining the ability
to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far to the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim with your hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and arms.
• NEVER place anything or anyone between you and the airbag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
• Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
• NEVER allow children or small infants, or pets to ride on a passenger’s lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
• Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.

Front Seats
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation
of the foot pedals, causing an accident.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 5

Seats & Safety System
3-6
• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position and proper locking
of the seatback.
• 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 center
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 while adjusting the front seat
position.
• Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the
seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

CAUTION To prevent injury:
• Do not adjust your seat while wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion
forward may cause strong pressure on
your abdomen.
• Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.

WARNING NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.

Manual adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the levers located underneath the seat

B3000201
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever and hold it.

Seatback angle
B3000202
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of
your restraint system (seat belts and/or
airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
WARNING NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases
your chance of serious or fatal injuries in
the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

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 height

Seatback pocket
B3000222
The seatback pocket is provided on the
back of the front seatbacks.
CAUTION Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the
seatback pockets. In an accident they
could come loose from the pocket and
injure occupants.

Rear Seats
WARNING Take the following precautions:
• Folding the seats
- Do not fold the seatback when the seat is occupied (for example,
passenger, pets or luggage). It may
injure the passenger or pet, or
damage the luggage.
- Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while
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.
- When returning the rear seatback from a folded to an upright position,
hold the seatback and return it
slowly. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of the
seatback. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback could
allow cargo to move forward with
great force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
- When folding the seatback, slightly push the seatback or head restraint
against the folding direction to
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 9

Seats & Safety System
3-10
control the folding speed. Without
the push, the seatback may abruptly
fold down and cause injuries when
the lever is pulled.
• Loading cargo - Make sure the vehicle is off, the gear shifted to P (Park), 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 button or
shift dial is inadvertently pressed or
rotated to another position.
- When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
• Do not place objects in the rear seats since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or
death.

CAUTION Do not allow your hands or fingers to get
caught in the seat mechanisms while
adjusting the seats.

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.
