o When the child restraint system is
not in use, store it in the luggage compartment or fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of asudden stop or accident.
o A child restraint system should be
placed in the vehicle's rear seatsince this can make an important contribution to safety.
o Unrestrained children should not
be carried in the car. Holding achild in your arms is not a satis- factory substitute for a child re- straint system. A child held in this manner can be crushed betweenyour body and the interior of the car.
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in amoving vehicle. This could result in serious injury or death to thechild in the event of an accident or sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not offer pro-tection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt. 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 Under all circumstances the at- taching bolt must be engaged atleast 5 full threads in the anchor-age. If you are in doubt with any aspect of this installation please contact an authorised Hyundaidealer.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A01CM-DAT If the child is old enough to sit alone and the car is not equipped with a proper child or infant seat, the child should beplaced in the rear seat and restrained with a lap/sash belt. Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIXanchors (if installed).
WARNING:
o Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circum- stances are they to be used foradult seat belts harnesses or for attaching other items or equip- ment to the vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re- straint system can become veryhot if it is left in a closed vehicle,be sure and check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there.
