RWARNING Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them. RWARNING Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle. Built-In Child Seat (If equipped) The rear seat may include an optional built-in child safety seat (passenger side). Refer to Figures 1 and 2. This child restraint is to be used only by children who are at least one year old, weight between 20 and 60 pounds (9 and 27 kilograms) and whose shoulders (top) are below the bottom of the headrest in the full up position. If your child is less than one year old or weighs less than 20 pounds (9 kilograms), always use a rear or facing infant or child seat because a child of that size is not sufficiently developed to withstand crash forces in a front facing position. If your child is less than one year old but is too big for an infant seat, use a convertible child safety seat placed in the rear facing mode. 34
