CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
WARNING:
tion of the lap/shoulder belt or the
center seat lap belt must always be
positioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as possible.
If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, we recommend the use of an
approved booster seat in the rear seat
in order to raise the child's seating
height so that the seat belt will prop-
erly fit the child.

A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it
could severely injure or kill an infant or
child seated in an infant or child seat.
Thus, only use a child restraint in the
rear seat of your vehicle.

Since a safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if it is left
in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that
it will not be thrown forward in the case
of a sudden stop or an accident.
Children who are too large to be in a
child restraint should still sit in the rear
seat and be restrained with the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. Never allow
children to ride in the front passenger
seat.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt
portion of the outboard lap/shoulder belt
is positioned midway over the shoul-
der, never across the neck or behind
the back. Moving the child closer to the
center of the vehicle may help provide a
good shoulder belt fit. The lap belt por-

Never allow a child to stand up or kneel
on the seat.
Never use an infant carrier or child
safety
seat that "hooks" over a
seatback; it may not provide adequate
security in an accident.

Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms while they are in a mov-
ing vehicle, as this could result in se-
rious injury to the child in the event of
an accident or a sudden stop. Holding
a child in a moving vehicle does not
provide the child with any means of
protection during an accident, even if
the person holding the child is wearing
a seat belt.
Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure
the child restraint system as illustrated. After
installation of the child restraint system, rock
the child seat back and forth, and side to side
to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of
the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child re-
straint hook holder and tighten to secure the
seat. Always refer to the child restraint sys-

If the child restraint seat is not an-
chored properly, the risk of a child
being seriously injured or killed in a
collision greatly increases.
