G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
Do not install a rear-facing car seat using a rear support leg in this vehicle. The floor of
this vehicle is not designed to manage the crash forces of this type of car seat. In a
crash, the support leg may not function as it was designed by the car seat manufac-
turer, and your child may be more severely injured as a result.
Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible child
seat can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible
child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who are over two years old
or who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing convertible
child seat. Children should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long
as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat
should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle's seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle's seat cushion while the child's back is
against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and
belt-positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
