appropriate age and size of the child as well as directions for
installing the child restraint system.

front passenger seat because the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to the child.

A forward±facing child restraint system should be
allowed to be put on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far
back as possible, because the force of the deploying
front passenger airbag could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
Do not allow the child to lean against the front door
or around the front door even if the child is seated in
a child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain shield airbags inflate, because the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the
child.

through or around the booster seat and across the child
following the instructions provided by its manufacturer and
insert the tab into the buckle.

across the center of child's shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child's neck, but not falling off
child's shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.

belts could cause serious injuries due to sliding
under the lap belt during a collision or other
unintended result. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on a child's hips as possible.
