Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat. Your vehicle is provid-
ed with child restraint hook holders for
installing the child seat or infant seat.

Placing a passenger seat belt into
the auto lock mode
The use of the auto lock mode will
ensure that the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle does not cause the
seat belt to be pulled out and loosen the
firmness of its hold on the child restraint
system. To secure a child restraint sys-

outboard or center rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:

instructions. Be sure the seat belt web-
bing is not twisted.

restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not prop-
erly restrained in the child restraint.
