Securing a child restraint with
the 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 manufacturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instruc-
tions for properly adjusting and
tightening the lower attachments
on the child restraint to the lower
anchors.
The recommended maximum
weight for the LATCH system is 65
lbs. (30 kg). When selecting a
proper child restraint, consider
that the maximum total weight of
the child plus the child restraint
should be less than 65 lbs (30 kg).
As a guide, the MAX child restraint
weight should be determined by
the following calculation:
Child Restraint Weight =
65 - (child's total weight in lbs.)
NOTICE
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
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 to a single
anchor. This could cause the
anchor or attachment to come
loose or break.
•
Always have the LATCH sys-
tem inspected by your author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer after an
accident. An accident can
damage the LATCH system
and may not properly secure
the child restraint.
