CAUTION

■

When installing a child restraint system

●

When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-

tioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away

from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder. Failing to

do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

●

Make sure the rear seat head restraints are not in the folded position.

●

Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.

●

Push and pull the child seat from side to side and forward to be sure it is secure.

●

After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-

turer.

■

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt

will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious

injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

■

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around

the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint. Make sure

the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious

injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve

or accident.
