CHILD RESTRAINTS

CAUTION
Do not leave children unattend-
ed in the vehicle.
Children left unattended could
play with the safety belts. The
belt could become wrapped
around the child's neck and
continue to tighten. The child
could be injured or killed.
Never allow children to play
with the safety belts.
CAUTION
(Continued)
After installing a child restraint,
pull the shoulder belt all the
way out of the retractor to set
the lock (if equipped).
Secure any unused safety belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them.
CAUTION
Never hold a baby in your arms
while riding in a vehicle. During
a crash a baby will become so
heavy you can't hold it. For
example, in a crash at only
40 km/h, a 5.5 kg baby will
suddenly become a 110 kg
force on your arms. The baby
would be almost impossible to
hold. Secure the baby in an
infant restraint.
Section 2
CAUTION
An unsecured child restraint
may be tossed about the
vehicle in a collision or sudden
stop. You or your passengers
could be injured. Secure the
child restraint properly even if a
child is not using the restraint.
