& Choosing a child restraint
system
Choose a child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child's age and size
(weight and height) in order to provide the
child with proper protection. The child
restraint system should meet all applicable
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards for the United States or
of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
for Canada. It can be identified by looking
for the label on the child restraint system or
the manufacturer's statement of compli-
ance in the document attached to the
system.
Also it is important for you to make sure
that the child restraint system is compa-
tible with the vehicle in which it will be
used.

tems with ALR/ELR seatbelt
CAUTION
. When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufac-
turer's instructions supplied with
it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure
that it is held securely in position.
If it is not held tight and secure,
the danger of your child suffering
personal injury in the event of an
accident may be increased.
. When installing a child restraint
system in the rear center seating
position, set both seatbacks to
the original position. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot
be securely restrained, which
may result in death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden
stop, sudden steering maneuver
or an accident.
