Safety features of your vehicle
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in the
rear  seat and  must  always be  properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an  accident,   sudden   stop  or   sudden
maneuver. According  to  accident statis-
tics,  children  are   safer  when  properly
restrained  in the  rear seats  than  in the
front seat.  Larger children not  in a  child
restraint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
You  should   be  aware   of  the   specific
requirements in  your  state. Child  and/or
infant  safety   seats   must  be   properly
placed and installed in the rear  seat.You
must use  a commercially  available child
restraint  system that  meets the  require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt  portion of a  lap/shoulder belt,  or
by a LATCH system (if equipped).
Children  could be  injured  or killed  in  a
crash if  their  restraints are  not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child  seat or  infant seat  must  be used.
Before buying  a particular child  restraint
system,  make sure  it  fits your  car  seat
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow
all the instructions  provided by the man-
WARNING
WARNING
To reduce the chance  of serious or
fatal injuries:
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 air bag 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.
A seat belt  or child restraint sys-
tem can  become very  hot if  it is
left in a closed vehicle on a sunny
day, even if  the outside tempera-
ture does not feel  hot. Be sure to
check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.
When  the child  restraint  system
is not  in use,  store it  in the  lug-
gage area or  fasten it with a seat
belt so  that it  will not  be thrown
forward in  the  case of  a sudden
stop or an accident.
Children may be seriously injured
or  killed by  an  inflating air  bag.
All children, even those too  large
for  child restraints,  must  ride in
the rear seat.
•  Children   of  all   ages  are   safer
when restrained  in the rear  seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat  can be  forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.
Always  follow the  child restraint
system   manufacturer’s  instruc-
tions  for installation  and  use  of
the child restraint.
Always make  sure the  child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child  is  securely restrained
in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when  riding in  a vehicle. The
violent  forces  created   during  a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw  the child against
the car’s interior.
Never put  a  seat belt  over your-
self and  a child.  During a  crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child   causing   serious   internal
injuries.
