Three-point driver's seat belt with inertia locking mechanism (Hyundai Accent LC)

Fastening your seat belt

To fasten the seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the belt bar (latch tongue) into the buckle until it clicks.



The seat belt automatically selects the required length only after you manually adjust the lap belt so that it fits snugly around your hips. Once put on, the belt automatically follows the slow movements of your body, but in the event of a sudden or strong jerk, the belt automatically locks to hold the buckled person. The belt will also lock if you pull it forward sharply. Check that the seat belt buckle is securely fastened and that the seat belt is not twisted.

Adjusting the seat belt

Never place the lap belt across your abdomen. In the event of an accident, the belt may cut sharply into your abdomen and increase the risk of injury. When the belt is positioned too high, there is an increased risk of you slipping out from under the belt in the event of an accident or sudden braking. This could result in vehicle damage, serious injury or death. Never place both hands under or over the belt at the same time. Place one hand under and one hand over the belt as shown in the illustration. Never place the shoulder belt under the arm closest to the door.

Unfastening the seat belt

To unfasten the seat belt, grasp the bar (latch tongue) and press the button on the belt buckle. When the belt is unfastened, it is automatically retracted by the retractor mechanism.

If this does not happen, check the belt for twists and try again.
