FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI B080P01B-GAT B150A02A-AAT 1- 17 ! REAR SEAT WARNING WARNING: SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS o The purpose of the fold-up rear seat cushion and the fold-down rear seat back is to allow you to carry more objects than could otherwise be accommodated. Do not allow passengers to sit on the cargo area while the car is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use when the seat back is folded down. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or a sudden stop. Objects should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops. o Make sure that the headrests are properly fixed in place to minimize the risk of severe injury in case of an accident. o When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being folded down, be careful not to damage the seatbelt webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle to get caught or pinched in the rear seat. ! WARNING: B080P01O For the safety of all passengers, luggage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System as discussed beginning on page 1-29. The seat belts must be used in conjunction with the supplemental airbag system. State laws require that some or all occupants of the vehicle use seat belts. The possibility of increased injury or severity of injury in an accident will be increased if this elementary safety precaution is not observed.
