Front seats (Hyundai Accent LC)

Warning! Adjust the seat only when the vehicle is stationary. Failure to do so may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident, which may result in vehicle damage, serious injury or death.

Adjusting the longitudinal position of the front seat

To move the seat in the longitudinal position, lift the adjustment lever up. This will release the seat and allow you to move it forward and backward to the desired position.

Once in the desired position, release the adjustment lever and move the seat forward or backward slightly to lock the seat in the new position.

Adjusting the backrest tilt

To recline the seatback, lean forward to take your weight off the seatback and pull the seatback recline lever up. Press the seatback down to the desired position. To lock the seatback in the new position, release the seatback recline lever.

Warning! To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking, the driver's and front passenger's seat backs should be kept as upright as possible. The effectiveness of the seat belts and air bags may be significantly reduced when the seat back is reclined.

Warning: There is a high probability that when the seatback is reclined, the driver and front passenger may slide out from under the seat belt, resulting in serious injury in the event of a vehicle collision during an accident.

Adjustable headrests

If you need to move the headrest up, pull it out to the desired position. If you need to lower the headrest, press the lock and at the same time push the headrest down to the desired position.

Warning! To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision, adjust the height of the head restraints so that the center of the collision is as close as possible to eye level. If there is a pillow or something similar between your back and the seat back, this may increase the distance between your head and the head restraint and the effectiveness of the head restraints in an accident will be reduced.

Warning! It is dangerous to drive a car with improperly adjusted head restraints or without them at all. Always make sure that the head restraints are installed and adjusted correctly. Otherwise, serious injury to the neck area may occur in a traffic accident.

Adjusting the lumbar support of the driver's seat

To adjust the lumbar support, turn the lumbar support adjustment lever located on the back of the driver's seat. To increase the support force, move the lumbar support adjustment lever toward the front of the vehicle. To decrease the support force, move the lumbar support adjustment lever toward the rear of the vehicle.

Height adjustment of the driver's seat cushion

To raise or lower the front of the seat cushion, turn the front handle forward or backward. To raise or lower the rear of the seat cushion, turn the rear handle forward or backward.

Heated seats

The device is designed to heat the front seats in cold weather. With the ignition key in the "ON" position, press any of the switches on the rear console to heat either the driver's seat or the passenger's seat.

During warmer months or when seat heating is not needed, set the switches to the "OFF" position.

Rear seat access on three-door models

To access the rear seat, you must tilt the backrest of the front seat.

Pull up the seatback recline lever on the outside of the front passenger seat, the seatback will recline forward and the seat will automatically move forward.

Rear seat passengers can recline the front seat backrest by pressing the pedal shown in Figure 15.

Warning! Rear seat passengers should be careful not to press pedal 2 while the vehicle is moving, as this may cause the seat back to move forward and cause injury to the front seat passenger.
