Protecting Children
Improperly placing a forward-
facing child seat in the front
seat can result in serious injury
or death if the airbags inflate.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
the child.
If it is necessary to put a forward-
facing child seat in the front, move
the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, be sure the child seat is
firmly secured to the vehicle, and
that the child is properly strapped in
the seat.
Driver and Passenger Safety
Installing a Child Seat With a Lap/
Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belts in the outer
back and front passenger seating
positions have a locking mechanism
that must be activated to secure a
child seat.
The following pages provide
instructions and tips on how to
secure a forward-facing child seat
with this type of seat belt.
See page 34 for how to secure a
forward-facing child seat with the lap
belt.
1. With the child seat in the desired
seating position, route the belt
through the child seat according
to the seat maker's instructions,
then insert the latch plate into the
buckle.
