Built-In Child Seat (If equipped)
[SR15045( X)07/95]
The rear seat may include an optional built-in child safety seat
(passenger side). Refer to Figures 1 and 2. This child restraint is
to be usedonlyby children who are at least one year old,
weight between 20 and 60 pounds (9 and 27 kilograms) and
whose shoulders (top) are below the bottom of the headrest in
thefull upposition. If your child is less than one year old or
weighs less than 20 pounds (9 kilograms),alwaysuse a rear or
facing infant or child seat because a child of that size is not
sufficiently developed to withstand crash forces in a front facing
position.
[SR15050( X)10/94]
If your child is less than one year old but is too big for an
infant seat, use a convertible child safety seat placed in the rear
facing mode.

standards.

How to Use Built-In Child Safety Seat
[SR15105( X)08/94]
Read the following procedures and all of the labels on the
Built-In Child Seat before using the seat. Refer to Figures 1
through 14.
[SR15110( X)06/95]
RWARNING
Never use the Built-In Child Seat as a booster cushion
with the adult lap belt. The five-point belt harness of the
Built-In Seat provides much more secure restraint than a
lap belt. Children who are the proper size to use the
Built-In Child Seat should use the five-point belts.
Children who sit in the right rear seat but are too large
to use the Built-In Child Seat should use the lap/shoulder
belt, but should sit on the seat cushion rather than on the
built-in seat.
