CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
!
B220C01A-AATTo Release the Seat BeltWhen you want to release the seat belt, press
the button in the locking buckle.
B220C01A-1
WARNING:
The center lap belt latching mechanism is
different from those for the rear seat shoulder
belts. When fastening the rear seat shoulder
belts or the center lap belt, make sure they are
inserted into the correct buckle to obtain
maximum protection from the seat belt sys-
tem and assure proper operation.
B230A02A-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must
be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the manufacturer
when installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install 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 injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a child
there.
o When the child restraint system is not in
use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden stop or
an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child
restraint should still sit in the rear seat
and be restrained with the available lap/
shoulder belts. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.

!
oEach seat belt is designed to restrain
one occupant. If more than one person
uses the same seat belt, they could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
oDo not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve occu-
pant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
oPassengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags. Carrying hard or sharp ob-
jects on your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an airbag inflates.
oKeep occupants away from the airbag
covers. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the airbag covers, they
could be injured if the airbags inflate.
oDo not attach or place objects on or
near the airbag covers. Any object at-
tached to or placed on the front or side
impact airbag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the airbags.
oDo not modify the front seats. Modifica-
tion of the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components or side im-
pact airbags.
B240D01JM-AATAdditional Safety PrecautionsoNever let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
oPassengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing. A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the
vehicle. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor-
tant points and make certain that this
manual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on the floor, you
shouldn't try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized Hyundai
dealer.oDo not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front seats
could interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components and wiring harnesses.
oNever hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seriously
injured or killed in the event of a crash. All
infants and children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child safety seats
or seat belts in the rear seat.
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious injury or death in
a crash.
o Always sit upright, fully back in the
seat, with your seat belt on, and your
feet on the floor.Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.If you modify your vehicle by changing your
vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or
side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect
the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.
