B230A03P-EAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMChildren riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop orsudden manoeuvre. According to accident sta-tistics, children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the front seat.Larger children should use one of the seat beltsprovided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Followall the instructions provided by the manufac-turer when installing the child restraint system.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 20 B230F01A-EAT Installation on Rear Seat Centre Posi- tion Use the centre seat belt for the rear to secure the child restraint system as illustrated. Afterinstallation of the child restraint system, rockthe child seat back and forth, and side to sideto ensure that it is properly secured by the seatbelt. If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the childrestraint tether strap hook into the child restrainthook holder and tighten to secure the seat.Always refer to the child restraint systemmanufacturer's recommendation before install-ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, we recommend the use of an ap-proved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms whilst they are in a moving vehicle,as this could result in serious injury tothe child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child orinfant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys- tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case ofa sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck. Moving the childcloser to the centre of the vehicle mayhelp provide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the centre seat lap belt must always bepositioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

Install the child restraint sys-tem, buckle the seat belt and allow the seat beltto take up any slack. Make sure that the lapportion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder portion of thebelt is positioned so that it cannot interfere withthe child's head or neck. After installation of thechild restraint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraint systemis securely installed. If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web- bing toward the retractor.
