FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI B140A01S-AAT B110A01E-GAT REAR SEAT WARNING FOLDING REAR SEATBACKS (4 DOOR) (If Installed) B110B01E WARNING: B140A01E-A B110A01E For the safety of all passengers, luggage or other cargo should not be piled higher than the top of the seatback. In addition, do not place objects on the rear shelf as they may move forward during braking or in an accident and strike vehicle passengers. The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle. o To unlock the seatback, pull up the seatback locking knob, then push forward on the seatback panel. o When you return the seatback to its upright position, always be sure it has locked into position by pushing on the top of the seatback. The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwise be accommodated. Do not allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seat back while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops. WARNING: When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being folded down, be careful not to damage the seat belt webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow the seat belt webbing or buckle to get caught or pinched in the rear seat. 1- 9
