Safety system of your vehicle
WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when being restrained in a
rear seat. A child, seating in
front, may be forcefully struck
with an inflating air bag. This
may result in serious or fatal
injury.
• Always follow the instructions
of the child restraint manufac-
turer's for installation and
usage.
• Always make sure that the
child seat is properly secured,
and that your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
• Never hold a child in your
arms or on your laps when
riding in a vehicle. The violent
impact in a crash may force
you miss the child from your
arms and the child may strike
against the vehicle interior.
• Never fasten a single seat belt
over you and a child. In a
crash, the belt may apply
sharp pressure on the child,
causing
serious
injury.
• Never leave a child unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle is eas-
ily heated up, resulting in seri-
ous injury of a child inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently move the vehi-
cle, entangle themselves in a
window frame, or lock them-
selves or others inside the
vehicle.

• Never allow two children, or
any two persons, to fasten the
same seat belt.
• Children often squirm and
shift their position. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder
belt under their arm or behind
their back. Always properly
seat and secure a child in a
rear seat.
• Never allow a child to stand
up, or kneel on a seat or a
floor mat, while the vehicle is
in motion. During a collision
or a sudden stop, the child
may be violently strike against
the vehicle interior, resulting
in serious injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or
a child safety seat, which
"hooks" over a seatback. It
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
• Do not operate a rear power
seat, when a child seat is
installed. The power seat may
be broken.
• After an accident, have an
authorized
internal
check the child restraint, seat
belt,
anchors.
• When the space to place a
child restraint is insufficient
due to the driver's seat, install
it in the right rear seat.
