and use. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraints in your vehicle. ¼ If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases. ¼ Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to fit the child restraint, but as upright as possible. ¼ After attaching the child restraint, test it before you place the child in it. Push it from side to side. Try to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm). If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or put the restraint in another seat and test it again. You may need to try a different child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles. ¼ If you must install a front facing child restraint in the front seat, see "Child restraint installation on front passenger seat" later in this section for details. ¼ When your child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident. CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR CENTER POSITIONS WARNING ¼ The three-point seat belt in your vehicle is equipped with a locking mode retractor which must be used when installing a child restraint. ¼ Failure to use the automatic locking mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. The restraint could tip over or otherwise be unsecured and cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision. ¼ When installing a child restraint system in the rear center position, both the center seat belt connector tongue and buckle tongue must be secured. See "Attaching rear center seat belt" earlier in this section. CAUTION Remember that a child restraint left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint. 1-22 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
