WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on
the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger side airbag
to deploy, it could severely in-
jure 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.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become very
hot if it is left in a closed vehicle,
be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.
o When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the lug-
gage compartment or fasten it
with a safety belt so that it will
not be thrown forward in the case
of a sudden stop or an accident.

o Children who are too large to be in
a child restraint should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with
the available lap/shoulder belts.
Never allow children to ride in the
front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboard
lap/shoulder belt is positioned
midway over the shoulder, never
across the neck. Moving the child
closer to the centre of the vehicle
may help provide a good shoul-
der belt fit. The lap belt portion of
the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-
tre seat lap belt must always be
positioned as low as possible on
the child's hips and as snug as
possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit
the child, we recommend the use
of an approved booster seat in
the rear seat in order to raise the
child's seating height so that the
seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the seat.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
o Never use an infant carrier or child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback; it may not provide ad-
equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms whilst they are in a
moving vehicle, as this could re-
sult in serious injury to the child
in the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child in a
moving vehicle does not provide
the child with any means of pro-
tection during an accident, even if
the person holding the child is
wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly in-
creases.
