CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 16 o Since a safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check theseat cover and buckles before placing achild there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so thatit will not be thrown forward in the caseof a sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should still sit in the rearseat and be restrained with the avail-able lap/shoulder belts. Never allowchildren to ride in the front passengerseat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoul-der, never across the neck or behindthe back. Moving the child closer to thecenter of the vehicle may help provide agood shoulder belt fit. The lap belt por-tion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-ter seat lap belt must always be posi-tioned as low as possible on the child'ships and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seatin order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
B230A03P-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrainedto minimize the risk of injury in an accident,sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat. Larger children should use oneof the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safety re- straints for children. If small children ride inyour vehicle you must put them in a childrestraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat orinfant seat must be used. Before buying aparticular child restraint system, make sure itfits your car and seat belts, and fits your child.Follow all the instructions provided by themanufacturer when installing the child restraintsystem. 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, itcould severely injure or kill an infant orchild seated in an infant or child seat.Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat of your vehicle.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide adequate security in anaccident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-ous injury to the child in the event of anaccident or a sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not pro-vide the child with any means of protec-tion during an accident, even if the per-son holding the child is wearing a seatbelt.

Theseseats include two rigid or webbing mountedattachments that connect to two ISOFIX an-chors at specific seating positions in your ve-hicle. This type of child restraint seat elimi-nates the need to use seat belts to attach thechild seat for forward-facing child restraint seats. ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located inthe left and right outboard rear seating posi-tions. Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion.

Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to makesure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activatedwith the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retrac- tor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehiclestops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to leanforward too quickly, the seat belt retractor willlock into position. However, in certain frontalcollisions, the pre-tensioner will activate andpull the seat belt into tighter contact againstthe occupant's body.
