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.

śꢀ NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop or

impact, the seat belt can damage it.

śꢀ Do not use the seat belt if it is

twisted. A twisted seat belt will not

protect you properly in an accident.

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 are designed to supplement the

seat belt as an additional safety device,

not a replacement. Most countries

require all occupants of a vehicle to wear

seat belts.

śꢀ Do not use a seat belt if the webbing

or hardware is damaged.

śꢀ Do not latch the seat belt into the

buckles of other seats.

śꢀ NEVER unfasten the seat belt

whilst driving. This may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

śꢀ Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle interfering with the seat

WARNING

Seat belts must be used by ALL

passengers whenever the vehicle is

moving. Take the following precautions

when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

śꢀ Children under the age of 13 should

be properly restrained in the rear

seats.

śꢀ Never allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat, unless the air

bag is deactivated. If a child is seated

in the front passenger seat, move the

seat as far back as possible. And the

child must always be restrained in

the seat properly.

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.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

Improperly positioned seat belts may

increase the risk of serious injury

in an accident. Take the following

precautions when adjusting the seat

belt:

śꢀ Position the lap portion of the seat

belt as low as possible across your

hips, not on your waist, so that it

fits snugly. This allows your strong

pelvic bones to absorb the force of

the crash, reducing the chance of

internal injuries.

Pre-tensioner Seat Belts (Retractor

Pre-tensioner). The purpose of the pre-

tensioner is to make sure the seat belts

fit tightly against the occupant’s body

in certain frontal or side collision(s).

The pre-tensioner seat belts may be

activated in crashes where the frontal

or side collision(s) is severe enough,

together with the air bags.

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.

śꢀ Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.

WARNING

Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat

belt assemblies for several minutes

after they have been activated. When

the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism

deploys during a collision, the pre-

you.

CAUTION

Body work on the front area of the

vehicle may damage the pre-tensioner

seat belt system. Therefore, we

recommend the system to be serviced

by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

If the system senses excessive tension

on the driver or passenger’s seat belt

when the pre-tensioner system activates,

Seats & Safety System

Seat belt use and children

Infant and small children

Additional seat belt safety

precautions

Seat belt use during pregnancy

Most countries have Child Restraint

System laws which require children to

travel in approved Child Restraint System

devices, including booster seats. The age

at which seat belts can be used instead

of Child Restraint System differs among

countries, so you should be aware of the

specific requirements in your country,

and where you are travelling. Infant and

Child Restraint System must be properly

placed and installed in a rear seat.

The seat belt should always be used

during 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

shoulder belt across your chest, routed

between your breasts and away from

your neck. Place the lap belt below your

belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your

hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded

part of the belly.

For more information refer to the “Child

Restraint Systems” section in this

chapter.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death to an unborn child during an

accident, pregnant women should

NEVER place the lap portion 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 a Child Restraint

System appropriate for the child’s

height and weight.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death to a child and other passengers,

NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms

when the vehicle is moving. The violent

forces created during an accident will

tear the child from your arms and throw

the child against the interior of the

vehicle.

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

requirements of the Australian/New

Zealand standards. Before buying any

Child Restraint System, make sure that

it has a label certifying that it meets the

requirements of the Australian/New

Zealand standards.

The Child Restraint System must be

appropriate for your child’s height and

weight. Check the label on the Child

Restraint System for this information.

Refer to “Child Restraint Systems”

section in this chapter.

Larger children

Children under age 13 and who are

too large for a booster seat should

always occupy the rear seat and use the

available 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 afforded the

best safety restrained by a proper Child

Restraint System in the rear seats.

If a larger child over age 13 must be

seated 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

touches 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 an appropriate booster

seat in the rear seat.

WARNING

śꢀ Always make sure larger children’s

seat belts are worn and properly

adjusted.

śꢀ NEVER allow the shoulder belt to

contact the child’s neck or face.

śꢀ Do not allow more than one child to

use a single seat belt.

Seats & Safety System

Seat belt use and injured people

Care of seat belts

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

Consult a physician for specific

recommendations.

Seat belt systems should never be

disassembled 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.

One person per belt

Periodic inspection

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.

All seat belts should be inspected

periodically for wear or damage of any

kind. Any damaged parts should be

replaced as soon as possible.

Do not lie down

Keep belts clean and dry

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.

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 belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly.

During an accident, you could be thrown

into the seat belt, causing neck or other

injuries.

The more the seat back is reclined, the

greater the chance for the passenger’s

hips to slide under the lap belt or the

passenger’s neck to strike the shoulder

belt.

When to replace seat belts

The entire 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. We recommend that you consult

an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

śꢀ NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.

śꢀ Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious

or fatal injuries in the event of a

collision or sudden stop.

śꢀ Driver and passengers should always

sit well back in their seats with the

seatbacks upright and should be

belted properly.
