When to Replace Seat Belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should be replaced if the vehicle has been in-
volved in an accident. This should be done even
if no damage is visible. Additional questions
concerning seat belt operation should be direct-
ed to your Hyundai Dealer.
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.
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.

CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems should never be disassembled
or modified. In addition, care should be taken to
assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any kind.
Parts of the system that are damaged should be
replaced as soon as possible.

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 be
used because they may damage and weaken the
fabric.

Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is neces-
sary, you should consult a physician for recom-
mendations.

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.

Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an
accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness
of the restraint system, all passengers should be
sitting up and the front seats should be in an
upright position when the car is moving. A seat
belt cannot provide proper protection if the per-
son is lying down in the rear seat or if the front
seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:
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.
