Larger Children; Transporting An Injured Person; One Person Per Belt - Hyundai ELANTRA 2016 Owner's Manual

Larger children

Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Always have the
LATCH system inspected by your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer after an
accident. An accident can damage
the LATCH system and may not
properly secure the child restraint.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat.
WARNING
•
Always make sure children
are wearing their seat belts
and that they are properly
adjusted before driving.
•
NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child's
neck or face.
•
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
