CAUTION
When installing the child restraint system
■
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix
the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen-
gers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
●
tioned across the center of the child' s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from
the child' s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child' s shoulder. Failing to do so
may result in death or serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●
Push and pull the child seat in different directions to be sure it is secure.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-
●
turer.
Do not use the seat belt extender
■
If using the seat belt extender when installing a child seat, the seat belt will not
securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in the event of collision.
If the driver' s seat position does not allow
●
sufficient space for safe installation on the
left-hand rear seat, install the child restraint
on the right-hand rear seat.
Only put a forward-facing or booster child
●
seat on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing or
booster child seat on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible
even if AIRBAG OFF indicator light is illu-
minated.
Failing to do so may result in injury or even
death if the airbags deploy (inflate).
