Front and rear seats of the car (Hyundai Sonata EF)

Attention:

• Be sure to adjust the seat before you travel. Adjust the height of the headrest so that its center is at eye level.
• After adjustment, make sure the seat is securely locked in place.
• When driving, do not place a pillow or anything similar between your back and the seat back. This will reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints in an accident.
• To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the driver and passenger seat backs must be in an upright position while the vehicle is moving. When the seat back is tilted backwards, the protective effect of the seat belts is significantly reduced. There is a risk that a person will slip out from under the belts in the event of a collision and sudden stopping of the vehicle, which can lead to serious injury.

Attention:

• Certain categories of people (children, very tired people, people under the influence of alcohol, etc.) may overheat or receive minor burns when sitting on heated seats.
• Do not place heavy objects or sharp objects on the seat; do not cover the seats with any materials (such as a blanket) as this may cause the seat heating element to overheat; do not turn on the seat heater if any liquid has been spilled on the seat until it has completely dried.

The seat heater can only be switched on at temperatures below 28+3.5°C. The heater automatically switches off when its temperature reaches approximately 37+3°C

Note: When the seat heating is operating, slight fluctuations in seat temperature may be felt, which is not a sign of a malfunction.
