Child restraint system

(if equipped)
1 For small children and babies, the
use of a child seat or infant seat is
required by law. This child seat or
2
infant seat should be of appropriate
size for the child and should be
installed in accordance with the man-
3
ufacturer's instructions. It is strongly
recommended that the seat be
placed in the vehicle's rear seat
4
since this can make an important
contribution to safety.
5
Children riding in the car should sit
on the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
6
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
7
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat.

You are required by law to use safe-
ty restraints for children. If small chil-
dren ride in your vehicle you must
put them in a child restraint system
(safety seat).
Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured. For small children
and babies, a child seat or infant seat
must be used. Before buying a par-
ticular child restraint system, make
sure it fits your car and seat belts,
and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manu-
facturer when installing the child
restraint system.
WARNING
• A child restraint system must
be placed in the rear seat.
Never install a child or infant
seat on the front passenger's
seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger airbag to
deploy, it could severely injure
or kill an infant or child seated
in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in
the rear seat of your vehicle.
