CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03A-GAT (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Largerchildren not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you 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. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions pro- vided by the manufacturer when in-stalling the child restraint system. WARNING:
o 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's front airbag to deploy, it could severely injureor kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in the rearseat of your vehicle.
o A safety belt or child restraint
system can become very hot if itis left in a closed vehicle on a sunny day, even if the outside temperature does not feel hot. Besure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunkor fasten it with a safety belt sothat it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident.
