1-2. Child safety
When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seat, it may not
be possible to properly use the seat
belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
When installing a child restraint in
the rear seats, adjust the front seat
so that it does not interfere with the
child or child restraint system.
When installing a child seat with
support base, if the child seat inter-
feres with the seatback when latch-
ing it into the support base, adjust
the seatback rearward until there is
no interference.
If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt guide,
move the seat cushion forward.
When installing a junior seat, if the
child in your child restraint system is
in a very upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most comfort-

able position. And if the seat belt
shoulder anchor is ahead of the
child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
