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
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion 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.
NOTE:
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is in the "ON" posi-
tion, the seat belt warning light will flash
and the warning chime will sound for ap-
proximately six seconds.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Combi-
nation Locking Retractor
To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat positions to help ac-
commodate the installation of child restraint
systems. Although a combination retractor is
also installed in the front passenger seat
position, Hyundai strongly recommends that
YR10301B
children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
the 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 secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-
cally 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 installation 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 1-19.
NOTE:
Although the combination retractor pro-
vides the same level of protection for seated
passengers in either emergency or auto-
matic locking modes, it is recommended
that seated passengers use the emergency
locking feature for improved convenience.
The automatic locking function is intended
to facilitate child restraint installation. To
convert from the automatic locking feature
to the emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully re-
tract.
WARNING:
o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, the seat belts must always be used
whenever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
