Safety system of your vehicle
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are saf-
er when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larg-
er children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts pro-
vided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant safety seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not proper-
ly secured. For small children and ba-
bies, a child seat or infant seat must
be used.
Before buying a particular child re-
straint system, make sure it fits your
car seat and seat belts, and fits your
child. Follow all the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer when in-
stalling the child restraint system.

WARNING
• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never in-
stall a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat. Should
an accident occur and cause the
passenger-side air bag to de-
ploy, it could severely injure or
kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Thus only
use a child restraint in the rear
seat of your vehicle.
• A seat belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is
left in a closed vehicle on a sun-
ny day, even if the outside tem-
perature does not feel hot. Be
sure to check the seat cover and
buckles before placing a child
there.
• When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug-
gage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
• Children may be seriously in-
jured or killed by an inflating air
bag. All children, even those too
large for child restraints, must
ride in the rear seat.
