Lower Anchors and Tether forChildren (LATCH System)
The LATCH system holds a child
restraint during driving and in an acci-
dent. This system is designed to make
installation of the child restraint easier
and reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your child restraint. The LATCH
system uses anchors in the vehicle and
attachments on the child restraint. The
LATCH system eliminates the need to
use seat belts to secure the child
restraint to the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors
for each LATCH seating position that will
accommodate a child restraint with lower
attachments. To use the LATCH system in your vehi-
cle, you must have a child restraint with
LATCH attachments.
The child seat manufacturer will provide
you with instructions on how to use the
child seat with its attachments for the
LATCH lower anchors.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
the left and right outboard rear seating
positions. Their locations are shown in
the illustration. There are no LATCH
anchors provided for the center rear
seating position.
A child restraint 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.
CAUTION
ODH033067
Do not attempt to install a child
restraint system using LATCH
anchors in the rear center seating
position. There are no LATCH
anchors provided for this seat.
Using the outboard seat anchors
can damage the anchors which
may break or fail in a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.

The lower anchor position indicator sym-
bols are located on the left and right rear
seat backs to identify the position of the
lower anchors in your vehicle (see arrows
in illustration).
The LATCH anchors are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.
Securing a child restraint withthe LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the lower anchors.
2. Move any other objects away from the anchors that could prevent a secure
connection between the child restraint
and the lower anchors.
3. Place the child restraint on the vehicle seat, then attach the seat to the lower
anchors according to the instructions
provided by the child restraint manu-
facturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instructions for properly adjusting and tightening
the lower attachments on the child
restraint to the lower anchors.

Take the following precautions
when using the LATCH system:
Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
child restraint system.
To prevent the child from reach-
ing and taking hold of unretract-
ed seat belts, buckle all unused
rear seat belts and retract the
seat belt webbing behind the
child. Children can be strangled if
a shoulder belt becomes
wrapped around their neck and
the seat belt tightens.
NEVER attach more than one
child restraint to a single anchor.
This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or
break.
Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer after an acci-
dent. An accident can damage
the LATCH system and may not
properly secure the child
restraint.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lb (30 kg).
How to determine an appropriate child
restraint weight:
Child weight + Child restraint weight <
65 lb (30kg)
Securing a child restraint seatwith "Tether Anchor" system
First secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If
the child restraint manufacturer recom-
mends that the top tether strap be
attached, attach and tighten the top teth-
er strap to the top tether strap anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the package tray.
NOTICE
OLF034034
Take the following precautions
when installing the tether strap:
Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
child restraint system.
NEVER attach more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor. This could cause the
anchor or attachment to come
loose or break.
Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor. It may not work
properly if attached to something
else.
Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.

To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the child restraint tether strapover the child restraint seatback.
Route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the head
restraint posts, or route the tether
strap over the top of the vehicle seat-
back. Make sure the strap is not twist-
ed.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the tether anchor, then tighten the tether
strap according to the child seat man-
ufacturer’s instructions to firmly
secure the child restraint to the seat.
3. Check that the child restraint is securely attached to the seat by push-
ing and pulling the seat forward-and-
back and side-to-side.
Securing a child restraint withlap/shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system, all
child restraints must be secured to a
vehicle rear seat with the lap part of a
lap/shoulder belt.
Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency locking mode), you
must manually pull the seat belt all the
way out to shift the retractor to the
"Automatic Locking" mode to secure a
child restraint.
The "Automatic Locking" mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the child
restraint system. To secure a child
restraint system, use the following proce-
dure.
OLF034035
ALWAYS place a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat of the vehi-
cle.
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.

To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating curtain
air bags, take the following precau-
tions:
All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.
Properly secure child restraints
as far away from the door as pos-
sible.
