Hyundai i-30: Seats / Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with the
seat belts and air bags 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. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
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 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 hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to
minimise 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 minimise 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.
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control lever (or knob) or
switches located on the outside of
the seat cushion. Before driving,
adjust the seat to the proper position
so that you can easily control the
steering wheel, foot pedals and controls
on the instrument panel...
Other information:
WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
manoeuvres. Even though vehicle
control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you...
Inside rearview mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the centre on the
view through the rear window.
WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is
not obstructed. Do not place
objects in the rear seat, cargo
area, or behind the rear head
restraints which could interfere
with your vision through the
rear window...

sunroof, you can slide or tilt your
sunroof with the sunroof control lever
located on the overhead console.

position before you can open or
close the sunroof.

the sunroof cannot be operated even
within 30 seconds.
