FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

To reduce the chance or serious or fatal

injuries:

o Children of all ages are safer when re-

strained in the rear seat. A child riding in

the front passenger seat can be force-

fully struck by an inflating airbag result-

ing in serious or fatal injuries.

o Always follow the instructions for in-

stallation and use of the child restraint

maker.

o Always make sure the child seat is se-

cured properly in the car and your child

is securely restrained in the child seat.

o 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.

o Never put a seat belt over yourself and a

child. During a crash, the belt could

press deep into the child causing seri-

ous internal injuries.

o 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 them-

selves in the windows, or lock them-

selves or others inside the vehicle.

WARNING:

!

WARNING:

o 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 airbag 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.

o A safety belt or child restraint system

can become very hot if it is left in a closed

vehicle on a sunny day, even if the out-

side temperature does not feel hot. Be

sure to check the seat cover and buckles

before placing a child there.

o When the child restraint system is not in

use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with

a safety belt so that it will not be thrown

forward in the case of a sudden stop or

an accident.

o Children may be seriously injured or

killed by an inflating airbag. All children,

even those too large for child restraints,

must ride in the rear seat.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

B230A04A-AAT

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 acci-

dent statistics provided by the National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),

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 provided.

All 50 states have child restraint laws. You

should be aware of the specific requirements in

your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must

be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.

You must use a commercially available child

restraint system that meets the requirements of

the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

(FMVSS).

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

and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the

instructions provided by the manufacturer when

installing the child restraint system.
