26CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03A-GAT (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be prop-erly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to acci-dent statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger childrennot 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 babies,a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manu- facturer when installing the child re-straint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never in- stall 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 injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rearseat 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 a child 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 itwill not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an acci- dent.

o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the 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 outboard lap/shoulder belt is positionedmidway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to thecenter of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the centre seat lap belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hipsand as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends the use of an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.B230F01A-AAT Installation on Rear Seat Center Position Use the center seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illust rated. After installation of the child
restraint system, rock the child seat back and forth, and side to side to ensure that it is properly secured by the seat belt.If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child restraint tether straphook into the child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer's recommendation before installing the child restraint system in your vehicle. B230F01A-E
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 amoving vehicle, as this could re- sult in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of pro-tection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in- creases.

This enables a much more secure and posi- tive location with the added benefit ofeasier and quicker installation. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it has vehicle-specific approval in ac- cordance with the requirements of ECE- R44. For your Hyundai, the HyundaiISOFIX GR1 / Hyundai Duo / Römer
B230D01A ISOFIX GR1 and the Römer Duo ISOFIX / Britax Duo ISOFIX is approved ac-cording to the requirement ECE-R44. This seat has been tested extensively by Hyundai and is recommended foryour Hyundai. NOTE: At present, this seat is the only one complying with that provision. Incase that other manufacturers will furnish proof of a respective certifi- cation, Hyundai is going to evaluatethis seat carefully and will give a recommendation provided that seat complies to the law.
