All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or by the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. RWARNING If you do not properly secure the safety seat, the child occupying the seat may be injured during a collision or sudden stop. An unsecured safety seat could also injure other passengers. RWARNING Carefully follow all of the manufacturer's instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. Installing Child Safety Seats in the Front Seat and Rear Outboard Seating Positions Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for the right front seat passenger and rear outboard passengers. If you choose to install a child safety seat or infant carrier in these seating positions: 1. Position the child seat on the seat of the vehicle. In the front seat, adjust the vehicle seat as far rearward as possible. Pull down on the shoulder belt, then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together. See Figure 1. 2. 131
