B230A02A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always berestrained to minimize the risk of injuryin an accident, sudden stop or suddenmaneuver. According to accident sta- tistics, children are safer when prop- erly restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat. Larger children not in achild restraint should use one of theseat 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 seat and seat belts, and fits yourchild.

o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrainedwith the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride inthe 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. Moving the childcloser to the center of the vehiclemay help provide a good shoul-der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen- ter seat lap belt must always bepositioned as low as possible onthe child's hips and as snug aspossible.
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 heightso that the seat belt will properlyfit the child.
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 andcause the passenger side airbagto deploy, it could severely in-jure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in therear 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 coverand buckles before placing achild there.
o When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or anaccident. 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 pro-vide adequate security in an ac-cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a childin a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an accident,even if the person holding thechild is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases.
