Our recommendation:
Children always in the rear 
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min-
imise the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided. Most countries have regulations
which require children to travel in
approved Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are trav-
elling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly installed in the vehicle seat.
Always use a commercially available
Child Restraint System that meets
the requirements of your country.
Child Restraint System (CRS) 
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-
ward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the seat of the vehicle. Read and
comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the Child Restraint
System.
Always properly restrain children
in the vehicle. Children of all ages
are safer when riding in the rear
seats. Never place a rearward-
facing Child Restraint System on
the front passenger seat, unless
the air bag is deactivated.
WARNING  Always follow the Child
Restraint System manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.
Always properly restrain your
child in the Child Restraint
System.
 Do not use an infant carrier or
a child safety seat that
“hooks” over a seatback, it
may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.
 After an accident, we recom-
mend a HYUNDAI repairer to
check the Child Restraint
System, seat belts, ISOFIX
anchorages and top-tether
anchorages.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking
that the Child Restraint System fits
properly on the seating position, there
are three general steps for a proper
installation:
Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle.
All Child
Restraint Systems must be secured
to the vehicle with the lap belt or lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt or with
the ISOFIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX
anchorage and/or with the support
leg.
 Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured. After
installing a Child Restraint System
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 Restraint
System secured with a seat belt
should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected. When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat and
seatback (up and down, forward and
rearward) so that your child fits in
the Child Restraint System in a con-
fortable manner.
 Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the
Child Restraint System according
to the Child Restraint System man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
Before installing your Child
Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of
the Child Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions could increase
the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING  
If the vehicle head restraint pre-
vents proper installation of a
Child Restraint System, the
head restraint of the respective
seating position shall be read-
justed or entirely removed.
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 System.

ISOFIX anchorage and top-teth-er anchorage (ISOFIX anchoragesystem) for children 
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and
in an accident. This system is
designed to make installation of the
Child Restraint System easier and
reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system uses
anchors in the vehicle and attach-
ments on the Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system elimi-
nates the need to use seat belts to
secure the Child Restraint System to
the rear seats. ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars
built into the vehicle. There are two
lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-
ing position that will accommodate a
Child Restraint System with lower
attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child
Restraint System with ISOFIX
attachments.
The Child Restraint System manu-
facturer will provide you with instruc-
tions on how to use the Child
Restraint System with its attach-
ments for the ISOFIX anchorages.
ISOFIX anchorages have been pro-
vided in the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Their loca-
tions are shown in the illustration.

Securing a Child RestraintSystem with the “ISOFIXAnchorage System”
To install an i-Size or ISOFIX-com-
patible Child Restraint System in
either of the rear outboard seating
positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away
from the ISOFIX anchorages.
2. Move any other objects away from the anchorages that could prevent
a secure connection between the
Child Restraint System and the
ISOFIX anchorages.
3. Place the Child Restraint System on the vehicle seat, then attach
the seat to the ISOFIX anchorages
according to the instructions pro-
vided by the Child Restraint
System manufacturer.
4. Follow the instructions of the Child Restraint System's manufacturer
for proper installation and connec-
tion of the ISOFIX attachments on
the Child Restraint System to the
ISOFIX anchorages.
OOS037076
Do not attempt to install a Child
Restraint System using ISOFIX
anchorages in the rear centre
seating position. There are no
ISOFIX anchorages provided for
this seat. Using the outboard
seat anchorages, for the CRS
installation on the rear centre
seating position, can damage
the anchorages.
WARNING

Securing a Child RestraintSystem seat with “Top-tetherAnchorage” system 
Top-tether anchorages for Child
Restraint Systems are located on the
rear of the seatbacks.
OOS037031
Take the following precautions
when using the ISOFIX system:
 Read and follow all installa-
tion instructions provided
with your Child Restraint
System.
 To prevent the child from
reaching and taking hold of
unretracted 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 System to a
single anchorage. This could
cause the anchor or attach-
ment to come loose or break.
WARNING  Always have the ISOFIX sys-
tem inspected by a repairer
after an accident. An accident
can damage the ISOFIX sys-
tem and may not properly
secure the Child Restraint
System.
