objects around the anchors.
Also, the seat belts should not
be caught behind the child re-
straint system. Make sure the
child restraint system is securely
attached. Otherwise it may cause
death or serious injury to chil-
dren or other passengers in sud-
den braking, swerving, or acci-
dents.
. Child restraint systems and seat-
belts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check the child restraint
system before you place a child
in it.
. Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint system in your vehicle.
Unsecured child restraint sys-
tems can be thrown around in-
side of the vehicle in a sudden
stop, turn or accident; they can
strike and injure vehicle occu-
pants as well as result in serious
injuries or death to the child.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer's
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-
creased.
& Where to place a child re-
straint system
The following are SUBARU's recommen-
dations on where to place a child restraint
system in your vehicle.
WARNING
. Several types of child restraint
systems may conceal the buckle
of the neighboring seat. If the
occupant of the neighboring seat
cannot correctly fasten the seat-
belt, that person must move to a
different seat. If the seatbelt can-
not be correctly fastened, there is
the risk of serious injury or death
in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
. If the child restraint system can-
not be correctly installed be-
cause it contacts the driver's
seat, move the child restraint
system to a different seat. If it
cannot be installed in a different
seat (other than the driver's seat),
adjust the front seat so that
contact does not occur.
