Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G i The child seat must be firmly attached in the right and left side anchor fittings. Make sure that the seat belt for the center seat can operate freely with a child seat installed. Non-"LATCH" type child seats may also be used and can be installed using the vehicle's seat belt system. Install child seat according to the manufacturer's instructions. Warning! G Vehicles with adjustable rear seats/bench*: Never adjust the rear seat position after installing the child restraint. Adjusting the rear seat position after installing the child restraint could damage the child restraint and/or introduce undesirable slack into the webbing and loosen or misposition the child restraint, lessening the effectiveness of the child restraint and thus increasing the chance or severity of injury in an accident. Children too big for child restraint systems must ride in back seats using regular seat belts. Position shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper belt positioning for children from 41 lbs. until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster. Install child seat according to manufacturer's instructions. The child seat must be firmly attached in right and left side anchor fittings 2. An incorrectly mounted child seat may come loose during an accident which could result in serious injury or death to your child. Damaged or impact damaged child seats or child seat mounting fittings must be replaced. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, even if the children are secured in a child restraint system. 73
