CAUTION

■

When installing a child restraint system

●

When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat as far

back as possible, with the seatback close to the 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.

●

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

●

Push and pull the child restraint system 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 a accident.

●

Only put a forward-facing or booster child

seat on the front seat when unavoidable.

When

installing

a

forward-facing

or

booster child restraint on the front passen-

ger seat, move the seat as far back as possi-

ble even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator

light illuminates. Failing to do so may result

in death or serious injury if the airbags

deploy (inflate).
