Children who have outgrown
child restraint systems
Children who have outgrown a child restraint
system should be seated in the rear seat and
wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crosses
their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available
booster seat must be used to raise the child so
that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt remains positioned low
across their hips. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint
Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-
tions.
WARNING
Any child who is too small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properly
restrained
in
an
appropriate
restraint system, to reduce their risk of
serious injury or death in an accident.
A child should never be left unattended in,
or unsupervised around, your vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, always take
the child out as well.
Children can die from heat stroke if left or
trapped inside the vehicle, especially on
hot days.
WARNING
Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle

keys away from children.
Never allow children to play in the trunk
of your vehicle.
Maintenance and inspection
of seat belts
Regularly check your seat belt buckles and
their release mechanisms for positive engage-
ment and release of the latch plate. Check the
retractors for automatic locking when in the
Automatic Locking Retractor function.
The entire seat belt assembly should be
replaced if the webbing shows any obvious
cuts, tears, increase in thickness in any sec-
tion of the webbing from broken fibers, or
severe fading from sunlight. All of these con-
ditions indicate a weakening of the belt,
child
which may adversely affect seat belt perfor-
mance in an accident.
