Selecting a Child Restraint System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
Make sure the CRS has a label certify-
ing that it meets applicable Safety
Standards of your country.
Select a child restraint system based on your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
Select a child restraint system that fits the vehicle seating position where itwill be used.
Read and comply with the warnings and instructions for installation and use
provided with the child restraint system.Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing seats, for-
ward-facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child seats
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passenger’sseat.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat can result in SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH if the child
restraint is struck by an inflating air
bag.
(Continued)
Always properly restrain your child in the child restraint.
Do not use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks“ over
a seatback, it may not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
After an accident, we recommend a HYUNDAI dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belts,
ISOFIX lower anchorages and top-
tether anchorages.

Safety system of your vehicle
A rear-facing child seat provides restraint
with the seating surface against the back
of the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in the
seat and reduce the stress to the neckand spinal cord.
All children under age one must always
ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats typi-
cally have higher height and weight limits
for the rear-facing position, allowing you
to keep your child rear-facing for a longer
period of time.Continue to use a rear-facing child seat
for as long as your child will fit within the
height and weight limits allowed by the
child seat manufacturer. It’s the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.
Forward-facing child seats
A forward-facing child seat provides
restraint for the child’s body with a har-
ness. Keep children in a forward-facing
child seat with a harness until they reach
the top height or weight limit allowed by
your child restraint’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing child restraint, your child is ready
for a booster seat.

Booster seats
A booster seat is a restraint designed to
improve the fit of the vehicle’s seat belt
system. A booster seat positions the seat
belt so that it fits properly over the lap of
your child. Keep your child in a booster
seat until they are big enough to sit in the
seat without a booster and still have the
seat belt fit properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie snugly across the upper thighs,
not the stomach. The shoulder belt
should lie snug across the shoulder and
chest and not across the neck or face.
Children under age 13 must always ride
in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the risk of
injury. Installing a Child Restraint System (CRS)
After selecting a proper child seat for
your child, check to make sure it fits prop-
erly in your vehicle. Follow the instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child seat. Note these gen-
eral steps when installing the seat to your
vehicle:
Properly secure the child restraint
system to the vehicle. All child seats
must be secured to the vehicle with the
lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.
Make sure the child restraint system
is firmly secured. After installing a
child seat to the vehicle, push and pull
the seat forward and from side-to-side
to verify that it is securely attached to
the seat. A child seatsecured with a
seat belt should be installed as firmly
as possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected.
WARNING
Before installing your child
restraint system always:
Read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the child restraint.
Read and follow the instructions regarding child restraint systems
in this manual.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could increase the
risk of the SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
A child restraint system in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To
prevent burns, check the seating
surface and buckles before placing
your child in the child restraint.

Safety system of your vehicle
The front air bags are designed to sup-
plement the three-point seat belts. For
these air bags to provide protection, the
seat belts must be worn at all times when
driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an
accident if you are not wearing a seat
belt. Air bags are designed to supple-
ment seat belts, but do not replace them.
Also, air bags are not designed to deploy
in every collision. In some accidents, the
seat belts are the only restraint protect-
ing you.
WARNING- AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, every- one! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air baginflates.
NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front pas- senger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or childcausing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seat-
ed in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should
be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the
engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident,
the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers allow at least
25 cm (10 inches) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
