Forward-facing Child Restraint System
ONE1031038N
A forward-facing Child Restraint System
provides restraint for the child's body
with a harness. Keep children in a
forward-facing Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top
height or weight limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System's manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the
forward-facing Child Restraint System,
your child is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint System
designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle's seat belt system. A booster seat
positions the seat belt so that it fits
properly over the stronger parts of your
child's body. Keep your children in
booster seats until they are big enough to
fit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie comfortable across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder
belt should lie comfortable across the
shoulder and chest and not across the
neck or face. Children under age 13 must
always be properly restrained to minimize
the risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child Restraint
System always:
Read and follow the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions could increase the risk of the
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an accident
occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle head restraint prevents
proper installation of a Child Restraint
System, the head restraint of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.
After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits properly
on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation:
• Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle. All Child
Restraint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part
of a lap/shoulder belt or with the lower
anchor and/or tether anchor and/or
with the support leg.
• Make sure the Child Restraint System
is firmly secured. After installing a
Child Restraint System to the vehicle,
push and pull the seat forward and from
side-to-side to verify that it is securely
attached to the seat. A Child Restraint
System secured with a seat belt should
be installed as firmly as possible.
However, some side-to-side
movement can be expected.
