[SR20190(ALL)08/95]
If your child is less than one year old or weighs
less than 20 pounds (9 kilograms),alwaysuse a
rear facing infant or convertible seat because a
child of that size is not sufficiently developed to
withstand crash forces in a front facing position.
Follow the specific manufacturer's instructions
for weight and height restrictions.

Children must be properly buckled before riding
in the vehicle. It is the law in every state and

Built-In Child Seat Belt Retractors
[SR20260(ALL)08/95]
The belts on the built-in child seat are equipped
with a dual locking mode retractor. The child
seat belts can be used with the retractor in either
the emergency locking mode or the automatic
locking mode. In the emergency locking mode,
the retractor allows freedom of movement,
locking only on hard braking, hard cornering, or
collisions. In the automatic locking mode, the
retractor will remain locked and does not allow
the child freedom of movement.
