WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on
the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger side airbag
to deploy, it could severely in-
jureorkillaninfantorchildseated
in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the
rear seat of your vehicle.
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
toaccidentstatistics,childrenaresafer
when properly restrained in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should
use one of the seat belts provided.
You are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children
ride in your vehicle you must put them
inachildrestraintsystem(safetyseat).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crashiftheirrestraintsarenotproperly
secured. For small children and ba-
bies,achildseatorinfantseatmustbe
used. Before buying a particular child
restraint system, make sure it fits your
car and seat belts, and fits your child.
Follow all the instructions provided by
the manufacturer when installing the
child restraint system.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der 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
thecenterofthevehiclemayhelp
provide a good shoulder belt fit.
The lap belt portion of the lap/
shoulder belt or the center seat
lap belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as pos-
sible.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint 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.

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