Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency locking mode), you
must manually change these seat belts
to the automatic locking mode to secure
a child restraint.

C030102BUN-EU

Placing a passenger seat belt into
the automatic locking mode

The automatic locking mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and reduce the effective-
ness of the child restraint system. To
secure a child restraint system, use the
following procedure.

WARNING

Child seat
installation

• 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 system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint systems 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.
