-Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The child restraint system should conform to the size of the child and properly fit the vehicle seat. For greater safety, the child restraint system should be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. General directions are also provided under the following illustrations. 8. To release the child from the seat belts, compress the shoulder belt clip, then press the buckle release button. Move both belts off the child's shoulders. 9. To store the built-in child restraint, fasten the shoulder belt clip and return the seat belt buckle using the fastener tapes. Fold up the seat belt adjustment strap in the seat. Then raise the seat cushion and return the head pad by engaging the fastener tapes while pressing the child restraint cushion and head pad firmly. ! CAUTION After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than in passenger compartment. This will prevent it injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. 43
