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.

Pregnant Women
WARNING:
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  physi-
cian.
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. 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.

Periodic Inspection
It  is recommended  that  all seat  belts  be in-
spected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind.  Parts of  the  system that  are damaged
should be replaced as soon as  possible.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat  belt  should be  used when  an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary,  you  should  consult  a  physician  for
recommendations.

Keep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned  by using a
mild  soap solution  and warm  water.  Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not

the fabric.
This could cause serious internal  injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back  in the  seat and  wear  your seat  belt
properly. See page 1-15.

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.

When to Replace Seat Belts
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should  be  replaced if  the  vehicle  has  been
involved in  an accident. This  should be done
even if no damage  is visible. Additional ques-
tions concerning seat belt operation should be
directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
B150G01A-AAT
Seat belt systems should never  be disassem-
bled or  modified. In  addition, care  should be
taken to assure  that seat belts and  belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of
an accident,  and to  achieve maximum  effec-
tiveness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should
