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 re-
tractor 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
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 1-18.
