Installing a child restraint
WARNING
EXTREME HAZARD! Do not
use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it.
E68916
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, tip or come away
causing death or injury.
Do not use a child restraint if the
tether strap falls into a split in the
vehicle seat back or falls off the edge of
the vehicle seat.
Child safety
All child restraint systems, except
booster seats, are designed to be
installed with the vehicle seat belt system
and a top tether strap. Booster seats
only require the use of the vehicle lap-
sash belts. After installing a child restraint
system, push and pull the system
forward and back and from side to side
to verify that it is secured.
Note: The side curtain air bag (where
fitted) will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed child
restraint or booster seat, because it is
designed to inflate downward from the
headliner above the doors along the side
window openings.
Be sure to read and follow the
instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If you have
any doubts contact the child restraint
manufacturer or consult and approved
Restraint Fitting Station. Your automobile
club or local vehicle registration authority
can provide location details of fitting
stations.
When a child restraint system is not
being used, either remove it and store
it in a safe place, or make sure it is
properly secured. An unsecured child
restraint system can be thrown around
the vehicle in a collision or sudden stop
and injure someone.
