Safety system
WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat can
be forcefully struck by an inflating
air bag resulting in serious or fatal
injuries.
• Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
• Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the car and your
child is securely restrained in the
child seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and throw
the child against the car's interior.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
causing serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle - not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious injuries
to children inside. Even very young
children may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock themselves or
others inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.
4-26
• Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let
a child ride with the shoulder belt
under their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
• Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision
or sudden stop, the child can be
violently thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks" over
a seatback, it may not provide
adequate security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
• After an accident, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If there is not enough space to place
the child restraint system because
of the driver's seat, install the child
restraint system in the rear right seat.
