Improperly placing a forward-
facing child seat in the front
seat can result in serious injury
or death if the front airbags
inflate.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
the child.
If it is necessary to put a forward-
facing child seat in the front, move
the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, be sure the child seat is
firmly secured to the vehicle, and
that the child is properly strapped in
the seat.
Child Seat Installation
The lap/shoulder belts in the back
and front passenger seating positions
have a locking mechanism that must
be activated to secure a child seat.
The following pages provide
instructions on how to secure a
forward-facing child seat with this
type of seat belt.
If you have a child seat designed to
be attached to the vehicle's LATCH
anchorage system, follow the
instructions on page 48 .
1. Before installing a child seat in the
center seating position of the rear
seat, make sure the seat belt
detachable anchor is securely
latched (see page 108
2. With the child seat in the desired
seating position, route the belt
through the child seat according
to the seat maker's instructions,
then insert the latch plate into the
buckle.
