WARNINGS
Make sure the child seat rests tightly
against the vehicle seat. If necessary,
adjust the seatback to an upright
position. It may also be necessary to lift or
remove the head restraint. See Head
Restraints (page 84). Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.
You must reinstall the head restraint
following the removal of the child
seat. See Head Restraints (page
84). Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious personal injury or death.
Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
as far back as possible. If it proves difficult
to tighten the lap section of the safety belt
without slack remaining, adjust the seatback
to the fully upright position and raise the
height of the seat. See Seats (page 84).
