CARE OF SEAT BELTS

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.

WARNING:

When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback
was folded down, be careful not to
damage the seat belt webbing 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 collision or sudden
stop, resulting in serious injury.

Periodic Inspection

It is recommended that all seat belts be
inspected periodically for wear or damage
of any kind. Parts of the system that are
damaged should be replaced as soon as
possible.

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.

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 concerning
seat belt operation should be directed to
your Hyundai Dealer.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT
SHOULDER BELT

You can adjust the height of the shoulder
belt anchor to one of 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 adjusted so that it lies
across your chest and midway over your
shoulder nearest the door and not your
neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor,
lower or raise the height adjuster into an
appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up. To
lower it, push it down while pressing the
height adjuster button.
