o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul- der belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck or behind the back. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/ shoulder belt or the center seat lap belt must always be posi- tioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as pos- sible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommends the use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fitthe child.B230A04A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize therisk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are saferwhen properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint shoulduse one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small childrenride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat). Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIXanchors (if installed). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraintsystem, make sure it fits your car and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manu-facturer when installing the child re- straint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely in-jure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re- straint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the luggage compartment or fasten it with asafety belt so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
