o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained withthe available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul- der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind theback. Moving the child closer tothe center of the vehicle may helpprovide 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 thechild's hips and as snug as pos-sible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating height sothat the seat belt will properly fit the child.B230A03A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize therisk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rearseats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint shoulduse 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 themin a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and ba- bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular childrestraint system, make sure it fits yourcar and seat belts, and fits your child.Follow all the instructions provided bythe manufacturer when installing the child restraint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat onthe front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbagto deploy, it could severely in-jure or kill an infant or child seatedin an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle.
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.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk orfasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an acci-dent.

o Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide ad-equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could re- sult in serious injury to the childin the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in amoving vehicle does not providethe child with any means of pro- tection during an accident, even if the person holding the child iswearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases.
