Safety system of your vehicle

Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the protection of your restraint system (seat belts and 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.

Power adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by using the control switches located on the outside of the seat cushion. Before driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so that you can easi-ly control the steering wheel, foot pedals and controls on the instru-ment panel.

Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dan-gerous. Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

WARNING
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. Driver 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.

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.

WARNING

1. 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.
2. Objects carried on the folded-down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatback. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

WARNING
When returning the rear seat-back 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 seat-back. In an accident or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback could allow cargo to move for-ward with great force and enter the passenger compartment, which could result in serious injury or death.
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.
Make sure the engine is off, the shift lever is in 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 lever is inadvertently moved to another position.

CAUTION

1. Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.
2. When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the cargo is properly secured to prevent it from moving while driving.
3. Unsecured cargo in the passenger compartment can cause damage to the vehicle or injury to its occupants.

NOTICE
If you recline the seatback towards the front with the head restraint and seat cushion raised, the head restraint may come in contact with the sun visor or other parts of the vehicle.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to the air ventilation seat:

1. Use the ventilated seats only when the climate control system is ON. Using the ventilated seats for prolonged periods with the climate control system OFF could cause the ventilated seat to malfunction.
2. Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline to clean the seats.
3. Avoid spilling liquids on the surface of the front seats and seat-backs; this may cause the air vent holes to become blocked and not work properly.
4. Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under the seats. They may block the air intake causing the air vents to not work properly.
5. Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the ventilated seat.
6. If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no change, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Rear seat heaters (if equipped)
When the engine is running, the rear seat heaters may be operated. Press the button on the door and press the passenger side button to heat the passenger seat.
During mild weather or under conditions where the operation of the seat heater is not needed, keep the switches in the OFF position.

SEAT BELTS

This section describes how to use seat belts properly. It also describes some of the things to avoid when using seat belts.

Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make sure all passengers have fastened their seat belts before starting any trip. Airbags are designed to supplement the seat belt as an additional safety device, but they are not a substitute. Most states require all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.
