Infant and child restraint systems
G
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system’s
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and the child could be burned on these
parts.
Warning!
We recommend all infants and children be
properly restrained at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
Never release the seat belt buckle while the
vehicle is in motion, since the special seat
belt retractor will be deactivated.
All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s
seat belt have special seat belt retractors
for secure fastening of child restraints.
If children open a door, they could

ratcheting sound can be heard to indicate
that the special seat belt retractor is acti-

usual manner.
