Child Restraint Systems must be
Our recommendation:
Children always in the rear
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 coun-
try.
WARNING
Always properly restrain children
in the rear seats of the vehicle,
unless the air bag on the front pas-
senger seat is deactivated.
Child Restraint Systems are general-
ly designed to be secured in a vehicle
seat by lap belt or the lap belt portion
of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage in
the rear seats of the vehicle.
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 INJURY or DEATH.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-
ward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the Child Restraint
System.
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimise
the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for a
Child Restraint System must use the
seat belts provided.
WARNING
Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which 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 in your
country, and where you are travelling.
ꢀ Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.
ꢀ Always properly restrain your
child in the Child Restraint
System.
ꢀ Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks”
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate protection in an
accident.
ꢀ After an accident, we recom-
mend a HYUNDAI dealer check
the Child Restraint System, seat
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and
top-tether anchorages.
