THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 35 WARNING! A rearward facing infant restraint must not be used in your Viper unless the passenger airbag has been shut off. A rearward facing infant restraint may be struck by a deploying passenger airbag which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant. In addition, some manufacturers make systems that can be first used as an infant carrier, then converted to a child seat as the child grows. Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint. Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The manufacturer also recommends that before you buy a child restraint, you try it in the seat where you will use it. The restraint must be appropriate for your child's weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for this too. Carefully follow the instructions that came with the restraint. If you install the restraint improperly, it may not work when you need it. 2 WARNING! Improper installation can lead to failure of a child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer's directions exactly when installing a child restraint. • Child restraints are secured in the passenger seat by the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt.
