SEAT BELT-Driver's 3-Point System
with Emergency Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the buck-
le. There will be an audible "click" when the tab
locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the prop-
er length only after the lap belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits 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, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
NOTE:
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will flash and the
warning chime will sound for approximately
six seconds.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Outboard Rear Seat 3-Point System
with Combination Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a combination retrac-
tor is also installed in the front passenger seat
position, Hyundai strongly recommends that
children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in the
FUA1090P
front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features of
both an emergency locking retractor seat belt
and an automatic locking retractor seat 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 buckle. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as the
driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor Type). It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the instal-
lation of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-16.
NOTE:
Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated pas-
sengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that
seated passengers use the emergency lock-
ing feature for improved convenience. The
automatic locking function is intended to
facilitate child restraint installation. To con-
vert from the automatic locking feature to
the emergency locking operation mode, al-
low the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.
