Protecting Infants
Child Restraint System Type
Only a rearward facing child
restraint system provides proper
support for a baby's head, neck and
back. Infants up to about one year of
age must be restrained in a rearward
facing child restraint system.
Two types of restraints may be used:
a restraint system designed
exclusively for infants, or a
convertible restraint system used in
the rearward facing, reclining mode.
Placing a rearward facing
child restraint system in the
front seat can result in
serious injury or death if the
passenger's front airbag
inflates.
Always place a rearward
facing child restraint system
in the back seat, not the front.
We recommend that an infant be
restrained in a rearward facing child
restraint system, until the infant is at
least one year old, reaches the
restraint system maker's weight or
height limit, and is able to sit up
without support.
For EU countries, refer to page
37 for the recommended child
restraint system.
Protecting Children
Rearward Facing Child Restraint
System Placement
For EU countries, an approved
rearward facing child restraint
system should be placed in any
seating position in the back seat (see
page 37 ).
(Except for EU countries)
In this vehicle, a rearward facing
child restraint system can be placed
in one of the outside positions in the
back seat, but not in the front seat.
For some types
If you use the vehicle's lower
anchorages to secure a child
restraint system, it should be placed
in one of the outside positions in the
back seat (see page 62 ).
