Child re st ra int syst e m s
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
The laws of all 50 states of U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of
child restraint systems.
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear
seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
l Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
l For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
