WARNING:
o Always make sure that the shoulder
belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-
der belt is positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the neck or be-
hind the back. Moving the child closer
to the center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt
or the center seat lap belt must always
be positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of
an approved booster seat in the rear
seat in order to raise the child's seating
height so that the seat belt will properly
fit the child. Before purchasing a
booster seat, make sure that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-
factory for use with this vehicle.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may
not provide adequate security in an acci-
dent.

WARNING:
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a mov-
ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-
ous injury to the child in the event of an
accident or a sudden stop. Holding a
child in a moving vehicle does not pro-
vide the child with any means of protec-
tion during an accident, even if the per-
son holding the child is wearing a seat
belt.

Using a Child Restraint System with
the "Tether Anchorage" 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 instruc-
tions. It is further required that the seat be
placed in the vehicle's rear seat since this can
make an important contribution to safety. Your
vehicle is provided with three child restraint
hook holders for installing the child seat or
infant seat.
