Knowing your vehicle
Restraint of larger children
WARNING - Hot metal
parts
WARNING - Shoulder belts
on small children
As children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available child-
restraint systems should use the belts
provided in the vehicle. When seated in
the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they may need to be returned to
a child restraint system. In addition, after-
market devices are available from inde-
pendent manufacturers which help pull
the shoulder belt down and away from
the child’s face or neck.
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been
closed during warm/hot weather;
they could burn a child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
• Never allow a shoulder belt to be
in contact with a child’s neck or
while the vehicle is in
face
motion.
• If safety belts are not properly
worn and adjusted, there is a risk
of death or serious injury to a
child.
Larger children should use one of the
seat belts provided.
