Child restraint systems

NOTE
For Australia models:
Refer to the Owner's Manual supple-
ment for the instructions of the child
restraint system.
Infants and small children aged 12 and
under or 1.5 m (4 feet 11 inches) tall or
less should always be placed in an infant
or child restraint system in the rear seat
while riding in the vehicle. You should use
an infant or child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child's age and size. All
child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in the vehicle seats.
Children could be endangered in an
accident if their child restraints are not
properly secured in the vehicle. When
installing the child restraint system, care-
fully follow the manufacturer's instructions.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
WARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child
on his or her lap or in his or her
arms while the vehicle is moving.
The passenger cannot protect the
child from injury in a collision,
because the child will be caught
between the passenger and objects
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Children should be properly re-
strained at all times. Never allow
a child to stand up, or to kneel on
any seat. Unrestrained children
will be thrown forward during
sudden stop or in an accident
and can be injured seriously.
. Never allow a child to stand up,
or to kneel on the front passen-
ger's seat, or never hold a child
on your lap or in your arms. The
SRS airbag deploys with consid-
erable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
