luggage cover to ease installation. See
Luggage Covers (page 148).
Note: You may need to raise or remove the

Head Restraints (page 89).
PROTECTING LARGER CHILDREN
The rear seats (where provided) are the
safest place for children.
When a child outgrows the recommended
weight or height limits for a forward facing
child restraint system, the child should sit
on a booster seat and wear a lap-sash seat
belt. The raised seating position will allow
you to position the shoulder strap of the
adult seat belt over the centre of your
child's shoulder and the lap strap tightly
across its hips. A booster seat should be
used until the child is tall enough for the
lap-sash seat belt to fit properly.
Typical Booster Seat
WARNINGS
Never wear a seat belt across the
neck. This could result in serious neck
injury in the event of a collision.
Do not install a booster seat with
only the lap strap of the safety belt.
Do not install a booster seat with a
safety belt that is slack or twisted.
Escape/Kuga (CBS)
Child Safety
Do not put the seat belt under your
child's arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child's height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.
Note: When using a child seat on a rear
seat, make sure that the child seat rests
tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be
necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Head Restraints (page 89).
Note: If the lap-sash seat belt touches or
crosses the child's neck, then the child
needs a booster seat.
