SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONSSeat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. The possibility of injuryor the severity of injuries suffered in the event ofan accident will be greatly reduced by the wear-ing of seat belts.In addition the following recommendations shouldbe observed.

Under no circumstances should achild be carried in the vehicle without the use ofa suitable restraint which meets the regulationsin force in the country where the vehicle is inoperation. SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. The restraint may takethe form of a special safety belt or the originalfactory fitted seat belt used in conjunction with anapproved booster cushion depending upon thesize and weight of the child.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating height sothat the seat belt will properly fit the child.
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 maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, asthis could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause thepassenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus, onlyuse a child restraint in the rear seat of yourvehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys- tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the boot or fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a sudden stop or anaccident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and berestrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center of thevehicle may help provide a good shoulderbelt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/
