Safety system of your vehicle

CHILD RESTRAIINT SYSTEEM (CRS)

Most countries have regulations which

require children to travel in approved

Child Restraint Systems.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

Our recommendation:

Children always in the rear

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

The laws governing the age or

height/weight restrictions at which seat

belts can be used instead of Child

Restraint System differs among coun-

tries, so you should be aware of the

specific requirements in your country,

and where you are travelling.

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.

Child Restraint Systems must be

properly installed in the vehicle seat.

Always use a commercially available

Child Restraint System that meets the

requirements of your country.

WARNING

•

Always follow the Child Restraint

System manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for installation and use.

Children under age 13 should always

ride in the rear seats and must

always be properly restrained to min-

imize the risk of injury in an accident,

sudden stop or sudden maneuver.

• Always properly restrain your

child in the Child Restraint

System.

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.

• 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 to

check the Child Restraint

System, seat belts, ISOFIX

anchorages and top-tether

anchorages.

Child Restraint System types

Selecting a Child Restraint

System (CRS)

There are three main types of Child

Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,

forward-facing and booster Child

Restraint Systems.

When selecting a Child Restraint

System for your child, always:

2

• Make sure the Child Restraint

System has a label certifying that it

meets applicable Safety Standards

of your country.

They are classified according to the

child’s age, height and weight.

A Child Restraint System may only

be installed if it was approved in

accordance with the requirements of

ECE-R44 or ECE-R129.

OLMB033041

Rearward-facing Child Restraint

System

• Select a Child Restraint System

based on your child’s height and

weight. The required label or the

instructions for use typically pro-

vide this information.

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.

• Select a Child Restraint System

that fits the vehicle seating position

where it will be used.

For the suitability of Child Restraint

Systems on the vehicle's seating

positions, please refer to the instal-

lation tables on pages 2-45, 48 and

49.

• Read and comply with the warn-

ings and instructions for installation

and use provided with the Child

Restraint System.

2-39

Safety system of your vehicle

All children under the age of one year

must always ride in a rearward-facing

Child Restraint System. There are dif-

ferent 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, allow-

ing you to keep your child rearward-

facing for a longer period of time.

Booster seats

A booster seat is a Child Restraint

System designed to improve the fit of

the vehicle’s seat belt system. A boost-

er 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 proper-

ly restrained to minimize the risk of

injury in an accident, sudden stop or

sudden maneuver.

OLF034033

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.

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 for-

ward-facing Child Restraint System

with a harness until they reach the

top height or weight limit allowed by

your Child Restraint System’s manu-

facturer.

Once your child outgrows the forward-

facing Child Restraint System, your

child is ready for a booster seat.

2-40

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:

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 con-

fortable manner.

Before installing your Child

Restraint System always:

• Properly secure the Child Restraint • Secure the child in the Child

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.

Restraint System. Make sure the

child is properly strapped in the

Child Restraint System according

to the Child Restraint System man-

ufacturer’s instructions.

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.

CAUTION

• 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.

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.

WARNING

If the vehicle headrest prevents

proper installation of a Child

Restraint System, the headrest

of the respective seating posi-

tion shall be readjusted or

entirely removed.

ISOFIX anchorage and top-teth-

er anchorage (ISOFIX anchorage

system) for children

WARNING

Do not attempt to install a Child

Restraint System using ISOFIX

anchorages in the rear center

seating position. There are no

ISOFIX anchorages provided for

this seat. Using the outboard seat

anchorages, for the CRS installa-

tion on the rear center seating

position, can damage the anchor-

ages.

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 possi-

bility of improperly installing your

Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX

system uses anchors in the vehicle

and attachments on the Child

Restraint System. The ISOFIX sys-

tem eliminates the need to use seat

belts to secure the Child Restraint

System to the rear seats.

OLM039035

ISOFIX anchorages have been pro-

vided in the left and right outboard

rear seating positions. Their locations

are shown in the illustration.

ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars

built into the vehicle. There are two

lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-

ing position that will accommodate a

Child Restraint System with lower

attachments.

To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi-

cle, you must have a Child Restraint

System with ISOFIX attachments.

The Child Restraint System manu-

facturer will provide you with instruc-

tions on how to use the Child

Restraint System with its attach-

ments for the ISOFIX anchorages.
