Hyundai Elantra: Care of seat belts
Your Hyundai Elantra’s audio system enhances every journey with entertainment and information. This section covers the available radio, media input, and speaker controls to make your drive more enjoyable.
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.
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after the rear seatback was folded down, be careful not to damage the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the webbing or buckle does not get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle will not be as strong and could possibly fail during a collision or sudden stop, resulting in serious injury.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any kind. Any damaged parts 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.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies should be replaced if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage is visible. Additional questions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The seat belt reminder system in your Hyundai Elantra acts as a digital safeguard, prompting all passengers to fasten up before and during the drive. Far from being just a beep or light, this system represents Hyundai’s commitment to proactive safety. Recognizing its role reinforces good habits and helps normalize safety-first behavior for everyone in the vehicle.
