SEAT BELTS

Seat belt restraint system

(Continued)

WARNING

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted seat belt will not pro-

tect you properly in an accident.

Be sure the belt webbing is

straight and not twisted.

• Each belt assembly must only be

used by one occupant; it is dan-

gerous to put a belt around a

child being carried on a occu-

pant's lap.

Damaged seat belts and seat belt

assemblies will not operate properly.

Always replace:

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must

always be used whenever the

vehicle is moving.

• 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

• 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 chil-

dren to ride in the front passen-

ger 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.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged, replace it.

WARNING

No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prevent the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating to

remove slack.

Seat belt warning

Lap/shoulder belt

As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt

warning light on the instrument cluster

will blink for approximately 6 seconds

each time you place the ignition switch in

the ON position regardless of belt fasten-

ing.

If the driver's seat belt is unfastened after

the ignition switch is in the ON position,

the seat belt warning light will blink again

for approximately 6 seconds.

If the driver's seat belt is unfastened

when the ignition switch is in the ON

position or if it is unfastened after the

ignition switch is in the ON position, the

seat belt warning chime will sound for

approximately 6 seconds. At this time, if

the seat belt is fastened, the chime will

stop at once. (if equipped)

To fasten your seat belt:

Pull the seat belt 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.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to the

proper length only after the lap belt por-

tion is adjusted manually so that it fits

snugly around your hips. If you lean for-

ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will

extend and let you move around. If there

is a sudden stop or impact, however, the

belt will lock into position. It will also lock

if you try to lean forward too quickly.

Height adjustment (if equipped)

You can adjust the height of the shoulder

belt anchor to one of the 4 positions for

maximum comfort and safety.

The shoulder portion should be adjusted

so it lies across your chest and midway

over your shoulder nearest 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.

WARNING

Improperly positioned seat belts

may increase the risk of serious

injury in an accident.Take the follow-

ing precautions when adjusting 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.

To raise the height adjuster, pull it up (1).

To release the seat belt:

When using the rear center seat belt, the

buckle with the “CENTER” mark must be

used. (if equipped)

Pre-tensioner seat belt

Press the release button (1) on the buck- (if equipped)

le and remove the metal tab from the

buckle.

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and

front passenger's pre-tensioner seat

belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is

to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly

against the occupant's body in certain

frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat

belts can be activated, where the frontal

collision is severe enough, together with

the air bags.

3 15

Safety system of your vehicle

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.

If the system senses excessive seat belt

tension on the driver or passenger's seat

belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the

load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will

release some of the pressure on the

affected seat belt. (if equipped)

(Continued)

WARNING

• Improper handling of the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt assemblies, and

failure to heed the warnings not

to strike, modify, inspect, replace,

service or repair the pre-tension-

er seat belt assemblies may lead

to improper operation or inadver-

tent activation and serious injury.

• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner

seat belt must be discarded, we

recommend that you contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Pre-tensioners are designed to

operate only one time. After acti-

vation, pre-tensioner seat belts

must be replaced. All seat belts,

of any type, should always be

replaced after they have been

worn during a collision.

• The pre-tensioner seat belt

assembly mechanisms become

hot during activation. Do not

touch the pre-tensioner seat belt

assemblies for several minutes

after they have been activated.

• Do not hit the pre-tensioner seat

belt assemblies.

• Do not attempt to inspect or

replace the pre-tensioner seat

belts yourself. We recommend

that the system be serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from a

pre-tensioner seat belt:

1. The seatbelt must be worn cor-

rectly and adjusted to the proper

position. Please read and follow

all of the important information

and precautions about your vehi-

cle’s occupant safety features –

including seat belts and air bags

– that are provided in this manu-

al.

• Do not attempt to service or

repair the pre-tensioner seat belt

system in any manner.

(Continued)

2. Be sure you and your passen-

gers always wear seat belts prop-

erly.

✽

NOTICE

✽

NOTICE

• Both the driver's and front passen-

ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be

activated in certain frontal collisions.

• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are

activated, a loud noise may be heard

and fine dust, which may appear to be

smoke, may be visible in the passenger

compartment. These are normal oper-

ating conditions and are not haz-

ardous.

The sensor that activates the SRS air

bag is connected with the pre-tensioner

seat belts. The SRS air bag warning

light on the instrument panel will illumi-

nate for approximately 6 seconds after

the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, and then it should turn off.

If the pre-tensioner is not working prop-

erly, the warning light will illuminate

even if the SRS air bag is not malfunc-

tioning. If the warning light does not

illuminate, stays illuminated or illumi-

nates when the vehicle is being driven,

we recommend the pre-tensioner seat

belts and/or SRS air bags be inspected

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as

soon as possible.

• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust

may cause skin irritation and should

not be breathed for prolonged peri-

ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-

oughly after an accident in which the

pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-

ed.

Safety system of your vehicle

Seat belt use and children

Infant and small children

Small children are best protected from

injury in an accident when properly

restrained in the rear seat by a child

restraint system that meets the require-

ments of the Safety Standards of your

country. Before buying any child restraint

system, make sure that it has a label cer-

tifying that it meets Safety Standard of

your country. The restraint must be

appropriate for your child's height and

weight. Check the label on the child

restraint for this information. Refer to

“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.

Additional seat belt safety pre-

cautions

Seat belt use during pregnancy

Most countries have child restraint laws

which require children to travel in

approved child restraint devices, includ-

ing booster seats. The age at which seat

belts can be used instead of child

restraints differs among countries, so you

should be aware of the specific require-

ments in your country, and where you are

travelling. Infant and child restraints must

be properly placed and installed in a rear

seat. For more information refer to the

“Child Restraint Systems” in this chapter.

The seat belt should always be used dur-

ing pregnancy. The best way to protect

your unborn child is to protect yourself by

always wearing the seat belt.

Pregnant women should always wear a

lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoul-

der belt across the chest, routed away

from the neck. Place the lap belt below

the belt line so that it fits snugly and as

low as possible across the hips, not

across the abdomen.

Larger children

Children under age 13 and who are too

large for a booster seat must always

occupy the rear seat and use the avail-

able lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt

should lie across the upper thighs and be

snug across the shoulder and chest to

restrain the child safely. Check belt fit

periodically. A child's squirming could put

the belt out of position. In the event of an

accident, children are safest when they

are seated in the rear seat and restrained

by the seat belts or by a child restraint

system.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death to an unborn child during

an accident, pregnant women

should NEVER place the lap por-

tion of the seat belt above or over

the area of the abdomen where the

unborn child is located.

ALWAYS properly restrain infants

and small children in

restraint appropriate for the child’s

height and weight.

a

child

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death to a child and other pas-

sengers, NEVER hold a child in

your lap or arms when the vehicle

is moving. The violent forces creat-

ed during an accident will tear the

child from your arms and throw the

child against the interior of the

vehicle.

3 18

Safety system of your vehicle

If a larger child over age 13 must be seat-

ed in the front seat, the child must be

securely restrained by the available

lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be

placed in the rearmost position.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-

es the child’s neck or face, try placing the

child closer to the center of the vehicle. If

the shoulder belt still touches their face

or neck they need to be returned to an

appropriate booster seat.

Transporting an injured person

WARNING

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

Consult a physician for specific recom-

mendations.

• NEVER ride with a reclined seat-

back 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.

One person per belt

Two people (including children) should

never attempt to use a single seat belt.

This could increase the severity of

injuries in case of an accident.

WARNING

Do not lie down

• Always make sure children are

wearing their seat belts and that

they are properly adjusted before

driving.

• NEVER allow the shoulder belt to

contact the child’s neck or face.

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

air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining

your seatback.

To reduce the chance of injuries in the

event of an accident and to achieve the

maximum effectiveness of the restraint

system, all passengers should be sitting

up and the front and rear seats should be

in an upright position when the car is

moving. A seat belt cannot provide prop-

er protection if the person is lying down in

the rear seat or if the front or rear seats

are in a reclined position.

• Do not allow more than one child

to use a single seat belt.

Safety system of your vehicle

Keep belts clean and dry

Care of seat belts

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.

If belts become dirty, they can be

cleaned by using a mild soap solution

and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong

detergents or abrasives should not be

used because they may damage and

weaken the fabric.

Seat belt systems should never be disas-

sembled or modified. In addition, care

should be taken to assure that seat belts

and belt hardware are not damaged by

seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

Periodic inspection

All seat belts should be inspected peri-

odically for wear or damage of any kind.

Any damaged parts should be replaced

as soon as possible.

When to replace seat belts

The entire seat belt assembly or assem-

blies should be replaced if the vehicle

has been involved in an accident. This

should be done even if no damage is vis-

ible. We recommend that you consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
