Safety features of your vehicle Rearward-facing child restraint system For safety reasons, we recommend that the child restraint system be used in the rear seats. WARNING - Child seat installation • A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint is not properly anchored to the car and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint. Before installing the child restraint system, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufacturer. • If the seat belt does not operate as described in this section, have the system checked immediately by your authorized HYUNDAI dealer. • Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child restraint systems and the instructions provided with the child restraint system could increase the chance and/or severity of injury in an accident. WARNING Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, because of the danger that an inflating passenger-side air bag could impact the rear-facing child restraint and kill the child. Since all passenger seat belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must manually change these seat belts to the auto lock mode to secure a child restraint. CRS Forward-facing child restraint system OUN026150 C030100AEN-EU Using a child restraint system For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required.
