Hyundai Tucson: Seat belt restraint system / 3-point rear center seat belt

To fasten the rear center seat belt:

1. Extract the metal tab from the hole of the belt assembly cover and slowly pull the metal tab out from the retractor.

2. Insert the metal tab (A) into the buckle (C). There will be an audible “click” when the tab locks into the buckle. Make sure the belt is not twisted.

3. Pull the metal tab (B) and insert the it (B) into the buckle (D). There will be an audible “click” when the tab locks into the buckle. Make sure the belt is not twisted.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length after the lap belt portion 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 move with you. 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.

WARNING

When using the rear seat center belt, you must lock all metal tabs and buckles. If any metal tab or buckle is not locked, it will increase the chance of injury in the event of collision.

CAUTION

Be sure the cargo is securely loaded in the rear cargo area. Not doing so may damage the rear center seat belt in a sudden stop or collision.

Using the rear center seat belt

When using the rear center seat belt, ALWAYS use the buckle with the CENTER mark.

To release the rear center seat belt:

1. Press the release button on the buckle (D) and remove the metal tab (B) from the buckle (D).

2. Insert a key or similar rigid device into the web release hole (C). Pull out the metal tab (A) from the buckle and allow the webbing to retract automatically.

3. Insert the metal tab into the hole of the belt assembly cover.

Stowing the rear seat belt

The rear seat belt buckles can be stowed in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion when not in use.

Routing the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will prevent the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats when the rear seats are folded down.

CAUTION

When using the seat belt, remove the seat belt webbing from the guides. If you pull the seat belt when it is stored in the guides, it may damage the guides and belt webbing.
