Mitsubishi ECLIPSE 2011 User Manual page 60

Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who
are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regardless of age,
should use a suitable child seat or a booster seat (including
a booster cushion) in the rear seat until the vehicle's
lap/shoulder belt fits them properly.
WARNING
!
All children must be seated in the rear seat, and
properly restrained.
Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and
ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat, rather than in the front seat.
Any child who is too large to use a child restraint
should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and
shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt must be
positioned over the shoulder and across the chest,
not across their neck, and with the lap belt posi-
tioned low on the child's hips, not across their stom-
ach. If necessary, a booster seat (including a booster
cushion) should be used to help achieve a proper
seat belt fit. Follow the booster seat (including a
booster cushion) manufacturer's instructions. Only
use a booster seat (including a booster cushion) that
is certified as complying with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-
tems and Booster Cushions Safety Regulations.
Your ECLIPSE SPYDER is not equipped with a
tether anchor. Child restraint systems and a booster
seat (including a booster cushion) which require a
tether strap cannot be used in your ECLIPSE SPY-
DER.
Never operate the electric convertible top when a
child is in your ECLIPSE SPYDER or when a child
restraint system is attached to the rear seat.
WARNING
!
Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even when you
are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of
the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or
child. Failure to follow these simple instructions cre-
ates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in
the event of an accident or sudden stop.
