Child Restraint System (CRS)

Our recommendation: Children

at middle position

Infants and younger children must be

restrained in an appropriate rearward-

facing or forward-facing CRS that has

first been properly secured to the seat

of the vehicle. Read and comply with

the instructions for installation and use

provided by the manufacturer of the

Child Restraint System.

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 air bag is deactivated.

WARNING

śꢀ Always follow the Child Restraint

System manufacturer’s instructions

for installation and use.

Children under age 13 should always

ride in the rear seats and must always be

properly restrained to minimise the risk

of injury in an accident, sudden stop or

sudden manoeuvre.

śꢀ Always properly restrain your child in

the Child Restraint System.

According to accident statistics, children

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.

Most countries have regulations 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.

śꢀ Do not use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that “hooks” over

a seatback, it may not provide

adequate protection in an accident.

śꢀ After an accident, we recommend an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer to check

the Child Restraint System, seat

belts, ISOFIX anchorages and top-

tether anchorages.

Child Restraint Systems must be properly

installed in the vehicle seat. Always use

a commercially available Child Restraint

System that meets the requirements of

the Australian/New Zealand standards.

Seats & Safety System

Selecting a Child Restraint

System (CRS)

When selecting a Child Restraint System

for your child, always:

śꢀ Make sure the CRS has a label

certifying that it meets the

requirements of the Australian/New

Zealand standards.

WARNING

śꢀ Extreme hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an air bag in front

of it!

śꢀ NEVER install a child or infant

restraint in the front passenger’s

seat.

śꢀ Select a Child Restraint System based

on your child’s height and weight. The

required label or the instructions for

use typically provide this information.

śꢀ Select a Child Restraint System that

fits the vehicle seating position where

it will be used.

Placing a rear-facing child restraint in

the front seat can result in SERIOUS

INJURY or DEATH if the child

restraint is struck by an inflating air

bag.

Rearward-facing Child Restraint System

śꢀ Read and comply with the warnings

and instructions for installation and

use provided with the Child Restraint

System.

A rearward-facing Child Restraint System

provides restraint with the seating

surface against the back of the child. The

harness system holds the child in place,

and in an accident, acts to keep the child

positioned in the Child Restraint Systems

and reduce the stress to the fragile neck

and spinal cord.

All children under the age of one year

must always ride in a rearward-facing

Child Restraint System. There are

different types of rearward-facing Child

Restraint Systems: infant-only Child

Restraint Systems can only be used

rearward-facing. Convertible and 3-in-1

Child Restraint Systems typically have

higher height and weight limits for the

rearward-facing position, allowing you

to keep your child rearward-facing for a

longer period of time.

Child Restraint System types

There are three main types of Child

Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,

forward-facing and booster Child

Restraint Systems.

They are classified according to the

child’s age, height and weight.

Keep using Child Restraint Systems in

the rearward-facing position as long as

children fit within the height and weight

limits allowed by the Child Restraint

System’s manufacturer.

Booster seats

A booster seat is a Child Restraint

System designed to improve the fit of

the vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster

seat positions the seat belt so that it

fits properly over the stronger parts of

your child’s body. Keep your children in

booster seats until they are big enough

to fit in a seat belt properly.

For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt

must lie comfortable across the upper

thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder

belt should lie comfortable across the

shoulder and chest and not across the

neck or face. Children under age 13

must always be properly restrained to

minimise the risk of injury in an accident,

sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.

ONE1031038AU

Forward-facing Child Restraint System

A forward-facing Child Restraint System

provides restraint for the child’s body

with a harness. Keep children in a

forward-facing Child Restraint System

with a harness until they reach the top

height or weight limit allowed by your

Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.

Once your child outgrows the forward-

facing Child Restraint System, your child

is ready for a booster seat.

3-45

Seats & Safety System

śꢀ Make sure the Child Restraint System

is firmly secured. After installing a

Child Restraint System to the vehicle,

push and pull the seat forward and

from side-to-side to verify that it is

securely attached to the seat. A Child

Restraint System secured with a seat

belt should be installed as firmly as

possible. However, some side-to-side

movement can be expected.

Installing a Child Restraint

System (CRS)

WARNING

Before installing your Child Restraint

System always:

Read and follow the instructions

provided by the manufacturer of the

Child Restraint System.

Failure to follow all warnings and

instructions could increase the risk of

the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an

accident occurs.

When installing a Child Restraint

System, adjust the vehicle seat and

seatback (up and down, forward

and rearward) so that your child fits

in the Child Restraint System in a

comfortable manner.

śꢀ Secure the child in the Child

Restraint System. Make sure the

child is properly strapped in the Child

Restraint System according to the

Child Restraint System manufacturer’s

instructions.

WARNING

Extreme hazard! Do not use a rearward

facing child restraint on a seat

protected by an air bag in front of it!

WARNING

CAUTION

If the vehicle headrest prevents proper

installation of a Child Restraint System,

the headrest of the respective seating

position shall be readjusted or entirely

removed.

A Child Restraint System in a closed

vehicle can become very hot. To prevent

burns, check the seating surface and

buckles before placing your child in the

Child Restraint System.

After selecting a proper Child Restraint

System for your child and checking that

the Child Restraint System fits properly

on the seating position, there are three

general steps for a proper installation:

śꢀ Properly secure the Child Restraint

System to the vehicle. All Child

Restraint Systems must be secured

to the vehicle with the lap belt or lap

part of a lap/shoulder belt or with

the ISOFIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX

anchorage and/or with the support

leg.

ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether

anchorage (ISOFIX anchorage

system) for children

WARNING

Do not attempt to install a Child

Restraint System using ISOFIX

anchorages in the rear centre

seating position. There are no ISOFIX

anchorages provided for this seat.

Using the outboard seat anchorages, for

the CRS installation on the rear centre

seating position, can damage the

anchorages.

The ISOFIX system holds a Child

Restraint System during driving and in

an accident. This system is designed

to make installation of the Child

Restraint System easier and reduce

the possibility of improperly installing

your Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX

system uses anchors in the vehicle and

attachments on the Child Restraint

System. The ISOFIX system eliminates

the need to use seat belts to secure the

Child Restraint System to the rear seats.

ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built

into the vehicle. There are two lower

anchors for each ISOFIX seating position

that will accommodate a Child Restraint

System with lower attachments.

To use the ISOFIX system in your vehicle,

you must have a Child Restraint System

with ISOFIX attachments.

The Child Restraint System manufacturer

will provide you with instructions on how

to use the Child Restraint System with its

attachments for the ISOFIX anchorages.

using the ISOFIX system:

Top-tether anchorages for Child Restraint

Systems are located on the rear of the

seatbacks.

śꢀ Read and follow all installation

instructions provided with your Child

Restraint System.

śꢀ To prevent the child from reaching

and taking hold of unretracted

seat belts, buckle all unused rear

seat belts and retract the seat belt

webbing behind the child. Children

can be strangled if a shoulder belt

becomes wrapped around their neck

and the seat belt tightens.

śꢀ NEVER attach more than one

Child Restraint System to a single

anchorage. This could cause the

anchor or attachment to come loose

or break.

śꢀ Always have the ISOFIX system

inspected by your dealer after an

accident. An accident can damage

the ISOFIX system and may not

properly secure the Child Restraint

System.

properly if attached to something

else.

WARNING

ALWAYS place a rear-facing child

restraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.

Placing a rear-facing child restraint in

the front seat can result in serious injury

or death if the child restraint is struck

by an inflating air bag.

Extreme hazard! Do not use a rearward

facing child restraint on a seat

protected by an air bag in front of it!

śꢀ Child Restraint System anchorages

are designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

Child Restraint System.

Do not use them for adult seat belts,

harnesses, or for attaching other

items or equipment to the vehicle.
