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 it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or childseat. Thus, only use a child re- straint in the rear 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 a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a suddenstop or an accident.!
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A02HP-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).Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulderbelt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIX anchors (if installed). Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba- bies, a child seat or infant seat must beused. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car and seat belts, and fits your child.Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system.
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 tothe 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 recommends the use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fitthe child.
