Seat belt restraint system

WARNING

• 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 twist-

ed.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is dam-

aged, replace it.

• 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.

The use of seat belts reduces the risk of

accident injury by avoiding collision with

the interior of the car and by preventing

the occupants from being thrown out of

the car.This makes them the most impor-

tant safety feature available for you and

your passengers. Adequate protection is

afforded only when the belt is worn cor-

rectly. You should always fasten and

adjust your seatbelts before the car is put

in motion and encourage your passen-

gers to do the same.

• Children age 12 and younger

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.

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.

(Continued)

A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

Seat belt warning

Care should be taken to avoid con-

tamination of the webbing with pol-

ishes, oils and chemicals, and par-

ticularly 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 seat belt assembly

must only be used by one occu-

pant; it is dangerous to put a belt

around a child being carried on the

occupant's lap.

As a reminder to the driver and front pas-

senger, the driver’s and front passenger’s

seat belt warning lights will illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds each time you

turn the ignition switch ON regardless of

belt fastening.

If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat

belt is not fastened when the ignition

switch is turned ON or if it is unfastened

after the ignition switch is turned ON, the

corresponding seat belt warning light will

illuminate or blink until the belt is fas-

tened.

1GQA2083

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat

belt is not fastened when the ignition

switch is turned ON and you drive over

20 km/h, the seat belt warning chime will

sound for approximately 100 seconds.

If the driver's or front passenger’s seat

belt is unfastened after the ignition switch

is turned ON and you drive over 20 km/h,

the seat belt warning chime will sound for

approximately 100 seconds.

After 100 seconds, if the seat belt is con-

nected and disconnected again, the seat

belt warning chime will sound again.

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, or prevent the seat

belt assembly from being adjusted

to remove slack.

Lap/shoulder belt

To fasten your seat belt:

To fasten your seat belt, pull it 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.

3 15

Safety system of your vehicle

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

To lower it, push it down (3) while press-

ing the height adjuster button (2).

Release the button to lock the anchor

into position. Try sliding the height

adjuster to make sure that it has locked

into position.

WARNING

• Verify the shoulder belt anchor is

locked into position at the appro-

priate height. Never position the

shoulder belt across your neck or

face. Improperly positioned seat

belts can cause serious injuries

in an accident.

• Failure to replace seat belts after

an accident could leave you with

damaged seat belts that will not

provide protection in the event of

another collision leading to per-

sonal injury or death. Replace

your seat belts after being in an

accident as soon as possible.

OHD036019

B200A01NF-E

You can adjust the height of the shoulder

belt anchor to one of 4 positions for max-

imum comfort and safety.

If the height of the adjusting seat belt is

too near your neck, you will not be getting

the most effective protection. The shoul-

der portion should be adjusted so that it

lies across your chest and midway over

your shoulder nearest the door and not

your neck.

WARNING

You should place the lap belt por-

tion as low as possible and snugly

across your hips, not on your waist.

If the lap belt is located too high on

your waist, it may increase the

chance of injury in the event of a

collision. Both arms should not be

under or over the belt. Rather, one

should be over and the other under,

as shown in the illustration.

To adjust the height of the seat belt

anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster

into an appropriate position.

Never wear the seat belt under the

arm nearest the door.

the retractor after checking for any twists

have the belt inspected by a HYUNDAI

dealer.

CAUTION - Cargo

Be sure that cargo is securely

loaded in the rear cargo area.

Failing to do so may cause damage

to the rear centre seat belt in sud-

den stops or collisions.

WARNING

Never let anyone ride in the rear

centre seat without fastening all

metal tab (or tongue plate) and

anchor connector (or buckle) as

described in this section. This seat

belt is designed to function as a

typical 3-point restraint (lap/shoul-

der belt). Using only the shoulder

portion or lap portion of the belt

can result in serious or fatal

injuries in the event of a collision or

sudden stop.

webbing to draw back automatically

into the retractor.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

(if equipped)

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 wearer’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 19

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)

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from a

pre-tensioner seat belt:

1. The seat belt must be working

correctly and adjusted to the

proper position. Please read and

follow all of the important infor-

mation and precautions about

your vehicle’s occupant safety

features – including seat belts

and air bags – that are provided

in this manual.

1LDE3100R

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-

sists mainly of the following components.

Their locations are shown in the illustra-

tion:

2. Be sure you and your passen-

gers always wear seat belts prop-

erly.

1. SRS air bag warning light

2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly

3. SRS control module

3 20

Safety system of your vehicle

✽

NOTICE

✽

NOTICE

WARNING

Because the sensor that activates the

SRS air bag is connected with the pre-

tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag

warning light on the instrument panel

will illuminate for approximately 6 sec-

onds after the ignition switch has been

turned to the "ON" position, and then it

should turn off.

• Both the driver's and front passen-

ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be

activated in certain frontal collisions.

The pre-tensioner seat belts can be

activated where the frontal collision is

severe enough, together with the air

bags.

• 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-tensioners will not be activat-

ed if the seat belts are not being worn

at the time of the 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 attempt to inspect or

replace the pre-tensioner seat

belts yourself. This must be done

by an authorised HYUNDAI deal-

er.

CAUTION

• 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.

If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not

working properly, this warning light

will illuminate even if there is no

malfunction of the SRS air bag. If

the SRS air bag warning light does

not illuminate when the ignition key

is turned to "ON", or if it remains

illuminated after illuminating for

approximately 6 seconds, or if it

illuminates while the vehicle is

being driven, please have an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer inspect the

pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air

bag system as soon as possible.

• Although it is harmless, 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.

• Do not strike the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies.

• 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.

Infant or small child

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 certifying that it meets Safety

Standards 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 system” in this

section.

• Always wear the seat belts when

driving or riding in a motor vehi-

cle.

• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner

seat belt must be discarded, con-

tact an authorised Hyundai deal-

er.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child

and/or infant seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat. For

more information about the use of these

restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys-

tem” in this section.

WARNING

C020300AUN

Every person in your vehicle needs

to be properly restrained at all

times, including infants and chil-

dren. Never hold a child in your

arms or lap when riding in a vehi-

cle. The violent forces created dur-

ing a crash will tear the child from

your arms and throw the child

against the interior. Always use a

child restraint appropriate for your

child's height and weight.

Seat belt precautions

WARNING

All occupants of the vehicle must

wear their seat belts at all times.

Seat belts and child restraints

reduce the risk of serious or fatal

injuries for all occupants in the

event of a collision or sudden stop.

Without a seat belt, occupants

could be shifted too close to a

deploying air bag, strike the interior

structure or be thrown from the

vehicle. Properly worn seat belts

greatly reduce these hazards.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and occu-

pant seat contained in this manual.

3 22

Safety system of your vehicle

C020301AUN-EA

C020302AKM

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-

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

child closer to the centre of the vehicle. If

the shoulder belt still touches their face

or neck they need to be returned to a

child restraint system.

Larger children

Restraint of pregnant women

Children who are too large for child

restraint systems should always occupy

the rear seat and use the available

lap/shoulder belts.The lap portion should

be fastened snug on the hips and as low

as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A

child's squirming could put the belt out of

position. Children are afforded the most

safety in the event of an accident when

they are restrained by a proper restraint

system in the rear seat. If a larger child

(over age 12) must be seated in the front

seat, the child should be securely

restrained by the available lap/shoulder

belt and the seat should be placed in the

rearmost position. Children age 12 and

under should be restrained securely in

the rear seat. NEVER place a child age

12 and under in the front seat. NEVER

place a rear facing child seat in the front

seat of a vehicle.

Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-

der belt assemblies whenever possible

according to specific recommendations

by their doctors. The lap portion of the

belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND

LOW AS POSSIBLE.

WARNING - Shoulder belts

on small children

• Never allow a shoulder belt to be

in contact with a child’s neck or

face while the vehicle is in

motion.

• If seat belts are not properly worn

and adjusted on children, there is

a risk of death or serious injury.

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Pregnant women must never place

the lap portion of the safety belt

over the area of the abdomen

where the fetus is located or above

the abdomen where the belt could

crush the fetus during an impact.

C020303AUN

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

When this is necessary, you should con-

sult a physician for recommendations.

C020304AUN

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.

Maintenance of seat belts

Do not lie down

Care of seat belts

When cleaning the seat belts, as recom-

mended, avoid getting solutions into the

buckle where they may attack the lubri-

cant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt

to bleach or re-dye belts, as this may

affect the webbing strength.

To reduce the chance of injuries in the

event of an accident and to achieve max-

imum effectiveness of the restraint sys-

tem, all passengers should be sitting up

and the front seats should be in an

upright position when the car is moving. A

seat belt cannot provide proper protection

if the person is lying down in the rear seat

or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

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.

✽

NOTICE

WARNING

Do not attempt any form of modifica-

tions or repairs to seat belt components.

If the retractor or other components do

not operate correctly, call an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer, who will take the

necessary corrective action. Your autho-

rised dealer will inspect all seat belt

components at regular intervals and

advise if replacement is required.

Between these inspections you should

make regular checks to ensure that for-

eign objects are not preventing complete

buckle engagement.

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after the rear

seatback was folded down, be care-

ful not to damage the seat belt web-

bing or buckle. Be sure that the

webbing or buckle does not get

caught or pinched in the rear seat.

A seat belt with damaged webbing

or buckle will not be as strong and

could possibly fail during a colli-

sion or sudden stop, resulting in

serious injury.

WARNING

Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious

or fatal injuries in the event of a col-

lision or sudden stop. The protec-

tion of your restraint system (seat

belts and air bags) is greatly

reduced by reclining your seat.

Seat belts must be snug against

your hips and chest to work proper-

ly. The more the seatback is

reclined, the greater the chance

that an wearer’s hips will slide

under the lap belt causing serious

internal injuries or the wearer’s

neck could strike the shoulder belt.

Drivers and passengers should

always sit well back in their seats,

properly belted, and with the seat-

backs upright.

3 24

Safety system of your vehicle

C020401AUN

Periodic inspection

It is recommended that all seat belts be

inspected periodically for wear or dam-

age of any kind. Any damaged parts

should be replaced as soon as possible.

C020402AUN

Keep belts clean and dry

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.

C020403AFD-EA

When to replace seat belts

Entire in-use seat belt assembly or

assemblies should be replaced if the

vehicle has been involved in an accident.

This should be done even if no damage

is visible. Additional questions concern-

ing seat belt operation should be directed

to an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
