B150C03A-AAT Larger Children Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always oc-cupy the rear seat and use the avail- able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por- tion should be fastened snug on thehips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Chil-dren are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint sys-tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoul- der belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Children un-der the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. Never place a child under the age of 13 in the frontseat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.B150D01S-AAT Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women to lessen thechance of injury in an accident. When a seat belt is used, it should be placed as low and snugly as possible on thehips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a physician. B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you shouldconsult a physician for recommenda- tions.
B150B01Y-GAT Infant or Small Child Some countries require the use of child restraint systems for infants and small children. Whether this is requiredby law or not, it is strongly recom- mended that a child restraint seat or infant restraint system be used forinfants or small children weighing less than 18 kilograms (40 pounds). NOTE: Small children are best protected in an accident when properly re- strained by a child restraint system.
B150A02A-AAT SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS All occupants of the vehicle should wear their seat belts at all times. In- deed, your province's laws may re- quire that some or all occupants of thevehicle use seat belts. The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in an accident will be de-creased if this elementary safety pre- caution is observed. In addition, follow the other instructions provided in thissection. SEAT BELTS

B150F01A-AAT One Person Per Belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt.This could increase the severity of injuries in case of an accident. B150G01A-AAT Do Not Lie Down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sit- ting up and the front seats should be inan upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is lyingdown in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
!WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly- ing down when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even ifyou buckle up, your seat belts can't do their job when you're reclined. The shoulder belt can't do its jobbecause it won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into itwith great force, receiving serious neck or other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forceswould be applied there, not at your strong pelvic bones. This could cause serious internalinjuries. For proper protection when the ve- hicle is in motion, have the seatbackupright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly. See page 1-23. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible.
B160A01A-AAT CARE OF SEAT BELTS Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition,care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors orother abuse.
!WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being folded down, be careful not to dam- age the seat belt webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow the seat belt webbing or buckle to get caughtor pinched in the rear seat.

26CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03A-GAT (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing thechild 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's 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 trunkor fasten it with a safety belt so that it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
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/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/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 help provide 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 recommendsthe use of an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.o Never allow a child to stand up orkneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or
child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not pro- vide adequate security in an ac-cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an accident, even if the person holding thechild is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in- creases.
