WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can be-
come a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on your
lap could become so great that you could not
hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be badly injured.
Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a
proper restraint for the child's size.
Infants And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children ride
rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are two
years old or until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child safety seat.
Two types of child restraints can be used
rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible
child seats.
The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing
in the vehicle. It is recommended for children
from birth until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible child seats
can be used either rearward-facing or forward-
facing in the vehicle. Convertible child seats

often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-
facing direction than infant carriers do, so they
can be used rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but are still
less than at least two years old. Children should
remain rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed by their con-
vertible child seat. Both types of child restraints
are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt
or the ISOFIX child restraint anchor system.
Refer to "ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System".
WARNING!
• Never place a rear facing infant seat in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint
in a rear seat.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of
your child restraint:
• Before buying any restraint system, make
sure that it has a label certifying that it meets
all applicable Safety Standards. The manu-
facturer also recommends that you try a child
restraint in the vehicle seats where you will
use it before you buy it.
• The restraint must be appropriate for your
child's weight and height. Check the label on
the restraint for weight and height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that come
with the restraint. If you install the restraint
improperly, it may not work when you need it.
• All seating positions (except for driver) have
a automatic locking retractor. The seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion tight
around the child restraint so that it is not
necessary to use a locking clip. For the seat
belt with the automatic locking retractor, pull
the belt from the retractor until there is
enough to allow you to pass through the child
restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is fully
extracted from the retractor. Allow the belt to
