THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 101 This vehicle is equipped with a child restraint tether anchor located on the lower rear of the front passenger seat. Use this tether anchor to secure only forwardfacing child restraints equipped with an upper tether strap. Restraining Infants And Small Children In Commercial Cargo Vehicles There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Use the restraint that is correct for your child: • The forward-facing child seat is for children from about 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and more than one year old. • A convertible child seat, one that is designed to be used for children who are too heavy for a rearwardfacing infant seat, may be used IN THE FORWARD FACING POSITION ONLY, IT MUST NEVER BE INSTALLED FACING TO THE REAR IN A COMMERCIAL CARGO VEHICLE. When a convertible seat is properly installed facing forward, the vehicle seat should be adjusted to the rear most position. 2 WARNING! Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. In an accident, a passenger airbag may deploy causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.
