Buckle,
position
and
release
the
safety
belt
as
described in “Rear
Seat
Outside
Passenger
Positions”
earlier
in
this section.
Make
sure
that
the
shoulder
belt
crosses
the
shoulder.
To
remove
and
store
the
comfort
guides,
squeeze
the
belt
edges
together
so
that
you
can
take
them
out
from
the
@des.
Pull
the
guide
upward
to
expose
its
storage
clip,
and
then
slide
the
guide
onto
the
clip.
Rotate
the
guide
and
clip
inward
and
in
between
the
seatback
and
the

Children
Everyone
in a vehicle
needs
protection!
That
includes
infants
and
all
children
smaller
than
adult
size.
Neither
the
distance
traveled
nor
the
age
and
size
of
the
traveler
changes
the
need,
for everyone,
to
use
safety
restraints.
In fact, the
law
in
every state in
the
United
States
and
in
every
Canadian
province
says
children
up
to
some age
must
be
restrained
while
in
a vehicle.
Smaller Children and Babies
A
CAUTION:
Children who are
up
against,
or
very close to, any
air
bag when it
inflates
can
be
seriously injured
or killed. This is true even
though
your
vehicle
has reduced-force frontal
air
bags.
Air
bags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for
adults,
but
not
for
young
children
and
infants.
Neither
thevehicle’s safety
belt
system
nor
its
air
bag system
is
designed for them. Young children
and
infants need the
protection
that
a
child
restraint system
can provide. Always secure
children
properly
in
your
vehicle.
