Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age atwhich seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among
countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
country, and where you are travel-
ling. Infant and child restraints must
be properly placed and installed in a
rear seat. For more details refer to
the "Child Restraint Systems" sec-
tion in this chapter.Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that
it has a label certifying that it meets
Safety Standards of your country. The
restraint must be appropriate for your
child's height and weight. Check the
label on the child restraint for this
information. Refer to the "Child
Restraint Systems"
section in this
chapter.
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child
restraint appropriate for the
child's height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to a child and
other passengers, NEVER hold a
child in your lap or arms when
the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an acci-
dent will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the interior of the vehicle.

Children Always in the RearChildren under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min-
imize the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat.Even with air bags,
children can be seriously injuredor killed. Children too large for a
child restraint must use the seat belts
provided.
Most countries have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at whichseat belts can be used instead of
child restraints differs among coun-
tries, so you should be aware of the
specific requirements in your coun-
try, and where you are travelling. Child restraint systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are generally
designed to be secured in a vehicle
seat by lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt, or by a LATCH sys-
tem in the rear seats of the vehicle.

Child restraint system (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-fac-
ing or forward-facing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the
rear seat of the vehicle. Read and
comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint.
Selecting a Child Restraint System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
Make sure the CRS has a labelcertifying that it meets applicable
Safety Standards of your country.
Select a child restraint based on your child's height and weight. The
required label or the instructions
for use typically provide this infor-mation.
Select a child restraint that fits the vehicle seating position where itwill be used.
Read and comply with the warn- ings and instructions for installation
and use provided with the child
restraint system.
Always properly restrain your
child in the child restraint.
If the vehicle head restraint
prevents proper installation of
a child seat (as described in
the child restraint system
manual), the head restraint ofthe respective seating posi-tion shall be readjusted or
entirely removed.
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, have a
HYUNDAI dealer check the
child restraint system, seat
belts, tether anchors and
lower anchors.
An improperly secured child restraint can increase the risk
of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
in an accident. Always take the
following precautions when
using a child restraint system:
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat.
Always properly secure the
child restraint to a rear seat of
the vehicle.
Always follow the child
restraint system manufactur-
er's instructions for installa-
tion and use.

Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rearward-facing
seats, forward-facing seats, and
booster seats. They are classified
according to the child's age, height
and weight.
Rearward-facing child seats
A rearward-facing child seat provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the child. The har-
ness system holds the child in place,
and in an accident, acts to keep thechild positioned in the seat and
reduce the stress to the neck andspinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rearward-facing infant
child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats typ-
ically have higher height and weight
limits for the rearward-facing position,
allowing you to keep your child rear-
ward-facing for a longer period of
time.Continue to use a rearward-facing
child seat for as long as your child
will fit within the height and weight
limits allowed by the child seat man-
ufacturer. It's the best way to keep
them safe. Once your child has out-
grown the rearward-facing child
restraint, your child is ready for a for-
ward-facing child restraint with a har-
ness.
OFE038023
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat.
Placing a rearward-facing child
restraint in the front seat can
result in SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH if the child restraint is
struck by an inflating air bag.WARNING

Forward-facing child restraints
A forward-facing child seat provides
restraint for the child's body with a
harness. 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 snug-
ly 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)
Before installing your child
restraint system always:
Read and follow the instruc-
tions provided by the manu-
facturer of the child restraint.
Read and follow the instruc-
tions regarding child restraint
systems in this manual.
Failure to follow all warningsand instructions could increase
the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a child
seat (as described in the child
seat system manual, the head-rest of the respective seatingposition shall be readjusted or
entirely removed.

The power tailgate can be oper-ated when the vehicle is not run-
ning. However, the power tail-gate operation consumes a
large amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave
the power tailgate in the open
position for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part of the power tailgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
tailgate. This could cause the
power tailgate to operate
improperly.
In cold and wet climates, the power tailgate may not work
properly due to freezing condi-tions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance. If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power tailgate, the
tailgate will stop and move in theopposite direction.
However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may notdetect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the tailgate is almostfully closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the tail-gate opeining. If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times whileattempting to open or close the tail-
gate, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the tailgate manually, and then
try to operate the power tailgateautomatically again.
NOTICE
OFE048039
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic rever-sal operates.
WARNING
Do not put heavy objects on the
power tailgate before you oper-
ate the power tailgate feature.
Additional weight may damagethe operation of the system.
