FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1 23 1. Before fastening the rear seat center belt, confirm the metal tab (a) and buckle (b) are latched together. 2. After confirming that (a) and (b) are latched, pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the metal tab (c) into the buckle (d). There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks in the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt 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, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly. B220C01Y-AAT ! To Release the Seat Belt WARNING: o Never let anyone ride in the rear center seat without fastening all metal tabs and buckles as described in this section.

Using only the shoulder portion or lap portion of the belt can result in serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. o Never unlock the metal tab (a) and the buckle (b) with the following exceptions. 1) In case of folding rear seatbacks down. 2) If transporting an object on the rear seat may cause damage to the rear seat center belt. o Always lock metal tab (a) into buckle (b) immediately after returning the rear seatbacks to an upright position. This portion of the rear center seat belt should only be unbuckled when the rear seatback is folded down. To disconnect the metal tab (a) from the buckle (b), insert a narrow-ended tool into the groove located on the buckle (b).
