Hyundai Santa Fe: Seats / Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting in a safe and comfortable position
plays an important role for the safety of the driver and passengers, along with
seat belts and air bags when in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces friction between the seat and the passenger.
The passenger’s hips may slide under the lap portion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk of being injured by an inflating air bag.
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly increases the risk of injury in the event
the air bag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers
allow at least 10 inches (25cm) between the center of the steering wheel and their
chest.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from an inflating air bag, take
the following precautions:
- Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while maintaining
the ability to control the vehicle.
- Adjust the front passenger seat as far to the rear as possible.
- Hold the steering wheel by the rim with your hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to minimize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
- NEVER place anything or anyone between you and the air bag.
- Do not allow the front passenger to place feet or legs on the dashboard
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly restrained. Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate Child Restraint Systems. Children who have outgrown a
booster seat and adults must be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat belt:
- NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
- Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of the
seat belt snug and low across the hips.
- NEVER allow children or small infants to ride on a passenger’s lap.
- Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across sharp edges,
or reroute the shoulder strap away from your body.
- Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unexpected movement and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident...
