B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt.This could increase the severity of injuries in case of an accident. B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident, and to achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is lyingdown in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
!WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is inmotion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts can't do their job when you're reclined.The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in front ofyou. In a crash you could go into it with great force, receiving serious neck or other injuries.The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forceswould be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones. This could cause serious internalinjuries. For proper protection when the ve- hicle is in motion, have the seatbackupright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly. See page 1-24.
B150D01S-AAT Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen thechance of injury in an accident. When a seat belt is used, it should be placed as low and snugly as possible on thehips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a physician. B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommenda-tions.

28CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03A-GAT (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing thechild restraint system.
!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-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 veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing achild there.
o When the child restraint system
is not in use, fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.

o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should will sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ridein 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 to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/ shoulder belt or the center seatlap belt must always be posi- tioned as low as possible on the child'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 booster seat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit the child.o Never allow a child to stand up orkneel 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 ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an accident,even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases. B235G01A-GAT Installation on Center Rear Seats

B230G01A-GAT Installation on the Outboard Rear Seats To install a child restraint system on the outboard rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. Buckle the seat belt and allow the seatbelt to take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion of the belt is tight around the child restraint system andthe shoulder portion of the belt is posi- tioned so that it cannot interfere with the child's head or neck.
