Child Safety

WARNING: Do not leave children
or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: If your vehicle has been
involved in a crash, have the child
restraints checked.
Note: When using a rearward-facing child
restraint on the front seat, always make sure
the passenger airbag off indicator is
illuminated.
Only child restraints certified to ECE-R129
or ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested
and approved for use in your vehicle.
Note: Mandatory use of child restraints
varies from country to country.
When using a child restraint on a front seat,
follow these seat positioning guidelines:
• The child restraint must not be in
contact with the instrument panel.
• Position the passenger seat as far
rearward as possible and route the
seatbelt forward and downward from
the B-pillar ring to the child restraint.
• If it proves difficult to tighten the lap
section of the seatbelt without slack
remaining, adjust the seat backrest to
the fully upright position and raise the
height of the seat.
Note: When using a child restraint on a
second row seat, adjust both seating rows
in a position to prevent contact with the
child's feet, legs or the child restraint. When
using a child restraint on a third row seat,
adjust the second row outermost seat in a
position to prevent contact with the child's
feet, legs, or the child restraint.
