Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
•
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
•
Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint maker.
•
Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
•
Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when riding in a vehicle.
The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the
child against the car’s interior.

WARNING (Continued)
•
Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
•
Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The car can heat up
very quickly, resulting in seri-
ous injuries to children inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehi-
cle.
•
Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
•
Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in rear seat.

(Continued)
•
Never allow a child to stand-up
or kneel on the seat or floor-
board of a moving vehicle.
During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious
injury.
•
Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
•
Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over
a child.
•
After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•
If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint sys-
tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraint
system in the rear right seat.
