rear center seat belt)

ONE1031087L
Insert the tongue plate (1) into the buckle
until an audible "click" is heard, indicating
the latch is locked. Pull the shoulder
portion of the belt to snug the belt across
your hips and remove slack. Make sure
the seat belt is not twisted.
When using the rear center seat belt, use
the buckle with the "CENTER" mark.
Information
If you cannot pull out the safety belt from
the retractor, firmly pull the belt out and
release it. After release, pull out the belt
smoothly.
WARNING
Make sure the seatback is locked in place
when using the rear center seat belt.
If not secure, the seatback may move
when there is a sudden stop or crash, and
it may result in serious injury or death.
Pretensioner seat belt
OHI038143L
Your vehicle is equipped with
Pretensioner seat belts (retractor
pretensioner). The pretensioner helps the
driver's, front passenger's, and outboard
rear seat belt fit tightly against your body
in certain frontal or side collision(s).
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if you
try to lean forward too quickly, the seat
belt retractor locks in place. In some
frontal collisions, the pretensioner
activates and pulls the seat belt against
your body.
If the system senses excessive tension on
the driver seat belt when the pretensioner
system activates, the load limiter inside
the retractor pretensioner releases some
of the pressure on the affected seat belt.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is loose or
twisted.
• Do not place anything near the buckle.
• Always replace your pretensioner after
activation or an accident.
• Have the pretensioner inspected,
serviced, repaired, or replaced by only
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not hit seat belt assemblies.
