Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use
of a child seat or infant seat is required.
This child seat or infant seat should be
of appropriate size for the child and
should be installed in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system be
used in the rear seats.
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency locking
mode), you must manually change
these seat belts to the automatic lock-
ing mode to secure a child restraint.
WARNING - Child seat
installation
A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if
the child restraint is not prop-
erly anchored to the vehicle
and the child is not properly
restrained in the child restraint.
(Continued)
(Continued)Before installing the child
restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manu-
facturer.
If the seat belt does not oper- ate as described in this sec-
tion, have the system checked
immediately by your author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Failure to observe this manu- al's instructions regarding
child restraint systems and
the instructions provided with
the child restraint system
could increase the chance
and/or severity of injury in an
accident.
If the vehicle headrest pre- vents proper installation of a
child seat, the headrest of the
respective seating position
shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that
an inflating passenger-side air
bag could impact the rear-facing
child restraint and kill the child.

1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rests, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback.
❈ Refer to "Adjusting the height up
and down - 2nd row" in this chap-
ter.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the appropriate child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure
the child restraint seat.WARNING - Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor or to a single lower
anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats
may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the
child restraint is not properly
anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.
WARNING
When using the vehicle's "Tether Anchor" system to
install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal
latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat
belt buckles and the seat belt
webbing must be retracted
behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretract-
ed seat belts which may result
in strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.
