Safety features of your vehicle
rear seat. For more information
about the use of these restraints,
refer to "Child Restraint System
(CRS)" on page 4-30.
NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Fed -
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Before buying any child restraint
system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint
for this information. Refer to "Child
Restraint System (CRS)" on page 4-
30.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and snug
on the hips as low as possible. Check
periodically to insure that the belt
fits. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint
4 28
system in the rear seat. If a larger
child (over age 13) must be seated
in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat
should be placed in the rearmost
position. Children age 13 and under
should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child age
13 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt
still touches their face or neck they
need to be returned to a child
restraint system.
WARNING
Small children
Do not allow small children to ride in
the vehicle without an appropriate
child restraint system. If the shoul -
der belt comes in contact with your
child's neck or face, your child is too
small to ride in the vehicle. In a crash
the seat belt will inflict injury to
your child's neck, throat and face.
