This could result in injury in case of an acci-dent or a sudden braking as this isnot a designated seating positionand seat belt restraint systems arenot accessible when the seatbacks are folded down.

Whena seat belt is used, the lap belt portionshould be placed as low and snugly as possible on the hips, not across the abdomen. For specific recommenda-tions, consult a physician.
B150C02A-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 the hips and as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirmingcould put the belt out of position. Chil-dren are afforded the most safety inthe event of an accident when they arerestrained by a proper restraint sys- tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in thefront seat, the child should be securelyrestrained by the available lap/shoul-der belt and the seat should be placedin the rear most position. Children un- der the age of 13 should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER placea child under the age of 13 in the frontseat. NEVER place a rear facing childseat in the front seat of a vehicle.
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 inju- ries 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 achievemaximum effectiveness of the restraintsystem, all passengers should be sit-ting up and the front seats should be in an upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provideproper protection if the person is lyingdown in the rear seat or if the front seatis in a reclined position.
B150E01A-AAT Injured Person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommenda-tions. WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly-ing down when your vehicle is inmotion can be dangerous. Even ifyou buckle up, your seat belts can'tdo their job when you're reclined.The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in front ofyou. In a crash you could go into it,receiving serious neck or other in-juries.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 yourstrong pelvic bones.

B230A02A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always berestrained to minimize the risk of injuryin an accident, sudden stop or suddenmaneuver. According to accident sta- tistics, children are safer when prop- erly restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat. Larger children not in achild restraint should use one of theseat belts provided.You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put themin a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and ba- bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular childrestraint system, make sure it fits yourcar seat and seat belts, and fits yourchild. Follow all the instructions pro-vided by the manufacturer when in- stalling the child restraint system.

1- 24 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrainedwith the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride inthe front passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck. Moving the childcloser to the center of the vehiclemay help provide a good shoul-der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen- ter seat lap belt must always bepositioned as low as possible onthe child's hips and as snug aspossible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, Hyundai recommendsthe use of an approved boosterseat in the rear seat in order toraise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properlyfit the child.
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 andcause the passenger side airbagto 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 achild 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 forwardin the case of a sudden stop or anaccident. o Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel 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 in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a childin 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 restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in-creases.
