Care Of Seat Belts; Child Restraint System (Crs); Our Recommendation: Children Always In The Rear - Hyundai SX2 Owner's Manual

Seats & Safety system
WARNING
• Never ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
• Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
• Driver and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats with the
seatbacks upright and should be belted
properly.

Care of seat belts

Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If
belts become dirty, they can be cleaned
by using a mild soap solution and warm
water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents, or
abrasives should not be used because
they may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage is
visible. We recommend that you contact
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.

Child Restraint System
(CRS)
Our recommendation:
Children always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in the
vehicle. Children of all ages are safer
when riding in the rear seats. Never place
a rearward-facing Child Restraint System
on the front passenger seat, unless the
airbag is deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always ride
in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimise the risk of
injury in a collision, sudden stop, or
sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. Children
too large for a Child Restraint System
must use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have child restraint
regulations that require children to travel
in approved Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at which seat
belts can be used instead of Child
Restraint System differs among
countries, so you should be aware of the
specific requirements where you are
travelling.
