WARNING (continued)
- Always move the front passenger seat into the rearmost
position of the passenger seat's fore and aft adjustment range,
and as far away from the airbag as possible before installing
the child restraint.
- Always make sure that nothing prevents the front
passenger's seat from being moved to the rearmost position in
its fore and aft adjustment range .
- Always make sure that the backrest is
in
the upright posi-
tion.
•
Always buckle the child safety seat firmly in place even if a
child is not sitting in it. A loose child safety seat can fly around
during a sudden stop or in a collision.
•
Always read and heed all WARNINGS whenever using a child
restrained in a vehicle is being used => page 209, "Safety belts",
=>
page 218, "Airbag system" and => page 243, "Child Safety".

AIR BAG OFF light comes on and stays on whenever a child
restraint is installed on the front passenger seat and the ignition
is switched on.
•
Take the child restraint off the front passenger seat and install
it properly at one of the rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not stay on.

Child safety
seats
Infant
seats
Babies and infants up to about one year old and 22 lbs or
10 kg need special rearward-facing
child restraints that
support the back, neck and head in a crash.
Fig. 240 Rearward-
facing infant seat,
properly installed on
the rear seat
- When using the vehicle safety belt to install a child safety
seat, you must first activate the convertible
locking
retractor on the safety belt to prevent the child safety
seat from moving~
page 253
or install the seat using
the LATCH attachments.
-
Push the child safety seat down with your full weight to
get the safety belt really tight so that the seat cannot
move forward or sideways more than one inch (2.5 cm).
Infants up to about one year (22 lbs. or 10 kg) are best protected in
special infant carriers and child safety seats designed for their age
group. Many experts believe that infants and small children should
ride only in special restraints in which the child faces the back of the
vehicle. These infant seats support the baby's back, neck and head
in a crash . These child safety seats must never be used in the front
seat because of the risk of serious injury or death should the airbag
deploy in a crash => fig . 240.
