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, 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.
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 center of the vehicle
may help provide a good shoul-
der belt fit. The lap belt portion of
the lap/shoulder belt or the cen-
ter 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.
BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
o Never use an infant carrier or
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback; it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an ac-
cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are in
a moving vehicle, as this could
result 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 protection during an accident,
even if the person holding the
child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly in-
creases.
