Hyundai i20 Active 2016 Owner's Manual page 45

Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat.
Larger children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts pro-
vided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant safety seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured. For small children
and babies, a child seat or infant seat
must be used.
Before buying a particular child
restraint system, make sure it fits
your car seat and seat belts, and fits
your child. Follow all the instructions
provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
WARNING
•
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 air
bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat.
Thus only use a child restraint in
the rear seat of your vehicle.
•
A seat belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is
left in a closed vehicle on a
sunny day, even if the outside
temperature does not feel hot.
Be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.

•
When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug-
gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
•
Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even those
too large for child restraints,
must ride in the rear seat.
