!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's 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 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 trunkor fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
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/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in 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, neveracross the neck or behind the back. 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 seat lap belt must always be posi- tioned as low as possible on thechild'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 toraise the child's seating height so 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 the child in the event of an accidentor 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 thechild 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.
