WARNING
When installing a child restraint system
■
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned
●
across the center of the child' s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child' s
neck, but not so that it could fall off the child' s shoulder. Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure
●
that it has been securely installed.
If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
●
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it may not be possi-
●
ble to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child restraint without inter-
fering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly
across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
Do not use a seat belt extender
■
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will
not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
■
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the
anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system. Make sure
the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to
the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
