Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women to lessen the
chance of injury in an accident. When
a seat belt is used, it should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effectiveness of the restraint
system, all passengers should be sit-
ting up and the front seats should be in
an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide
proper protection if the person is lying
down in the rear seat or if the front seat
is in a reclined position.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
!
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly-
ing down when your vehicle is in
motion can be dangerous. Even if
you buckle up, your seat belts can't
do their job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job
because it won't be against your
body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious
neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In
a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would
be applied there, not at your strong
pelvic bones. This could cause seri-
ous internal injuries.
For proper protection when the ve-
hicle is in motion, have the seatback
upright. Then sit back in the seat and
wear your seat belt properly. See
page 1-16.
