SEAT BELTS

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

All occupants of the vehicle should

wear their seat belts at all times. In-

deed, your province's laws may re-

quire that some or all occupants of the

vehicle use seat belts.

The possibility of injury or the severity

of injury in an accident will be de-

creased if this elementary safety pre-

caution is observed. In addition, follow

the other instructions provided in this

section.

B140A01B-GAT

REAR SEAT WARNING

For the safety of all passengers, lug-

gage or other cargo should not be piled

higher than the top of the seatback.

B150B01Y-GAT

Infant or Small Child

Some countries require the use of

child restraint systems for infants and

small children. Whether this is required

by law or not, it is strongly recom-

mended that a child restraint seat or

infant restraint system be used for

infants or small children weighing less

than 18 kilograms (40 pounds).

NOTE:

Small children are best protected in

an accident when properly restrained

by a child restraint system.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

B150F01A-AAT

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.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie Down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the

event of an accident and to achieve

maximum effectiveness of the restraint

system, all passengers should be sit-

ting up and the front seats should be in

an upright position when the car is

moving. A seat belt cannot operate

properly if the person is lying down in

the rear seat or if the front seat is in a

reclined position.

B150C01A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child

restraint systems should always oc-

cupy the rear seat and use the avail-

able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por-

tion should be fastened snug on the

hips and as low as possible. Check

belt fit periodically. A child's squirming

could move the belt out of position. If

the larger child (over age 13) is in the

front seat, the child should be securely

restrained by the seat belt. Under no

circumstances should the child be al-

lowed to stand or kneel on the seat.

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. NEVER place

a child under the age of 13 in the front

seat. Never allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat.

B150D01A-AAT

Pregnant Women

The use of a seat belt is recommended

for pregnant women to lessen the

chance of injury in an accident. When

a seat belt is used, the lap belt portion

should be placed as low and snugly as

possible on the hips, not across the

abdomen. For specific recommenda-

tions, consult a physician.

B150E01A-AAT

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when an

injured person is being transported.

When this is necessary, you should

consult a physician for recommenda-

tions.

B160B01A-AAT

Periodic Inspection

It is recommended that all seat belts

be inspected periodically for wear or

damage of any kind. Parts of the sys-

tem that are damaged should be re-

placed as soon as possible.

B160A01A-AAT

CARE OF SEAT BELTS

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.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Sitting in a reclined position or ly-

ing down when your vehicle is in

motion can be dangerous. Even if

you buckle up, your seat belts can't

do their job when you're reclined.

The shoulder belt can't do its job

because it won't be against your

body. Instead, it will be in front of

you. In a crash you could go into it

with great force, receiving serious

neck or other injuries.

The lap belt can't do its job either. In

a crash the belt could go up over

your abdomen. The belt forces

would be applied there, not at your

strong pelvic bones.

This could cause serious internal

injuries.

For proper protection when the ve-

hicle is in motion, have the seatback

upright. Then sit well back in the

seat and wear your seat belt prop-

erly.

B160D01A-AAT

When to Replace Seat Belts

The entire seat belt assembly or as-

semblies should be replaced if the

vehicle has been involved in an acci-

dent. This should be done even if no

damage is visible. Additional ques-

tions concerning seat belt operation

should be directed to your Hyundai

Dealer.

B160C01A-AAT

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.

To Fasten Your Belt

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the

retractor and insert the metal tab into

the buckle. There will be an audible

"click" when the tab locks into the

snugly around your hips. If you lean

forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt

will extend and let you move around. If

there is a sudden stop or impact, how-

ever, the belt will lock into position.

B180A01L

You can adjust the height of the shoul-

der belt anchor to one of the 4 positions

for maximum 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 shoulder portion should be ad-

justed so that it lies across your chest

and midway over your shoulder near-

est the door and not your neck.

Adjusting Your Seat Belt

You should place the belt as low as

possible on your hips, not on your

waist. If the belt is located too high on

your body, you could slide under it in

case of accident or a sudden stop.

This could result of death, serious

injury or property damage. Both arms

should not be under or over the belt.

Rather, one should be over and the

other under, as shown in the illustra-

tion.

Never wear the seat belt under the arm

nearest the door.
