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 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 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.
