Buckle, position
and
release
the
safety
belt
as
described
in
“Rear
Seat
Outside
Passenger
Positions”
earlier
in
this
section.
Make
sure
that
the
shoulder
belt
crosses
the
shoulder.
To
remove
and
store
the
comfort
guides,
squeeze
the
belt
edges
together
so
that
you
can
take
them
out
from
the
guides.
Pull
the
guide
upward
to
expose
its
storage
clip,
and
then
slide
the
guide
onto
the
clip.
Rotate
the
guide
and
clip
inward
and
in
between
the
seatback
and
the
interior
body,
leaving
only
the
loop
of
elastic
cord
exposed.
Children
Everyone in
a
vehicle
needs
protection! That includes
infants
and
all
children
smaller
than
adult
size.
In’fact,
the
law in every state
in
the United
States
and
in
every
Canadian
province
says
children
up
to
some age must
be
restrained
while
in
a
vehicle.
Smaller
Children
and
Babies
Smaller
children
and
babies
should
always
be
restrained
in
a
child or infant
restraint.
The
instructions
for
the
restraint
will say
whether
it
is the
right
type
and
size for
your child.
A
very
young child’s hip bones are
so
small
that
a
regular
belt
might
not
stay
low on
the
hips,
as
it
should.
Instead,
the
belt
will likely be
over
the
child’s abdomen. In a
crash,
the
belt
would apply
force
right
on
the
child’s abdomen, which could
cause
serious or fatal
injuries.
So,
be sure
that
any child
small
enough
for one
is
always properly
restrained
in
a
child or
infant
restraint.
