Hyundai Santa Fe: Seat belts / Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air bags are designed to supplement the seat
belt as an additional safety device, but they are not a substitute. Most states
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL passengers whenever the vehicle is moving.
Take the following precautions when adjusting and wearing seat belts:
- Children under the age of 13 should be properly restrained in the
rear seats.
- Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat, unless
the air bag is deactivated. If a child is seated in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible. And the child must always be restrained
in the seat properly.
- NEVER allow an infant or child to be carried on an occupant’s lap.
- NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is moving.
- Do not allow children to share a seat or seat belt.
- Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
- Never wear a seat belt over fragile objects. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the seat belt can damage it.
- Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted. A twisted seat belt will
not protect you properly in an accident.
- Do not use a seat belt if the webbing or hardware is damaged.
- Do not latch the seat belt into the buckles of other seats.
- NEVER unfasten the seat belt while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
- Make sure there is nothing in the buckle interfering with the seat
belt latch mechanism, because any materials in the buckle can cause the seat
belt not to be fastened securely.
- No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will
either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack,
or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt assemblies will not operate properly. Always
replace:
- Frayed, contaminated, or damaged webbing.
- Damaged hardware.
- The entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in an accident,
even if damage to webbing or assembly is not apparent.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag deploying unexpectedly and causing serious
injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. If
the location or angle of the sensors is altered, the air bags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy when they should.
Installing bumper guards with nongenuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the collision and airbag deployment performance.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF or ACC position and
wait for 3 minutes when the vehicle is being towed to prevent inadvertent air
bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs performed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
