B150B01Y-GAT Infant or Small ChildSome countries require the use of child restraint
systems for infants and small children. Whetherthis is required by law or not, it is stronglyrecommended that a child restraint seat or infantrestraint system be used for infants or smallchildren weighing less than 18 kilograms (40pounds). NOTE: Small children are best protected in an acci-
dent when properly restrained by a childrestraint system. B150C02A-AAT Larger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraint systems should always occupy the rear seat anduse the available lap/shoulder belts. The lapportion should be fastened snug on the hips andas low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. Achild's squirming could put the belt out of posi-tion. Children are afforded the most safety in theevent of an accident when they are restrained bya proper restraint system in the rear seat. If alarger child (over age 13) must be seated in thefront seat, the child should be securely restrainedby the available lap/shoulder belt and the seatshould be placed in the rearmost position. Chil-dren under the age of 13 should be restrainedsecurely in the rear seat. NEVER place a childunder the age of 13 in the front seat. NEVERplace a rear facing child seat in the front seat ofa vehicle.

B230A03P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. According to accidentstatistics, children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the front seat.Larger children not in a child restraint should useone of the seat belts provided.You are required by law to use safety restraintsfor children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carand seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all theinstructions provided by the manufacturer wheninstalling the child restraint system.
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 the
passenger's side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.
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, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case of asudden stop or an accident.
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/shoulder belt or the center seat lap beltmust always be positioned as low as pos-sible on the child's hips and as snug aspossible. 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.
