FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o
Since a safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if it is left
in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
When the child restraint system is not in
use, fasten it with a safety belt so that it
will not be thrown forward in the case of
a sudden stop or an accident.
Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should will sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt
is positioned midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck or behind the
back. Moving the child closer to the cen-
ter of the vehicle may help provide a
good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt or the center
seat lap belt must always be positioned
aslowaspossibleonthechild'shipsand
as snug as possible.
o
Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
not provide adequate security in an acci-
dent.
Neverallowachildtobeheldinaperson's
arms while they are in a moving vehicle,
as this could result in serious injury to
the child in the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving
vehicle does not provide the child with
any means of protection during an acci-
dent, even if the person holding the child
is wearing a seat belt.

If the child restraint seat is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision
greatly increases.

o
Use the center seat belt for the rear to secure
the child restraint system as illustrated. After
installation of the child restraint system, rock
the child seat back and forth, and side to side
to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of
the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child re-
straint hook holder and tighten to secure the
seat. Always refer to the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's recommendation before
installing the child restraint system in your
vehicle.

o
If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of
an approved booster seat in the rear seat

so that the seat belt will properly fit the
child.
Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
