To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button ( 2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desiredposition ( 3). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as

far as it can go then press the
release button (

from moving backward and thus
helps prevent neck injuries.

Installation on the rear seats(Continued)
Always make sure that theshoulder belt portion of the
outboard lap/shoulder belt is
positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the
neck or behind the back.
Moving the child closer to the
center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt
fit. The lap belt portion of thelap/shoulder belt or the center
seat lap belt must always be
positioned as low as possible
on the child's hips and as
snug as possible.
If the seat belt will not proper- ly fit the child, we recommend
the use of an approved boost-
er seat in the rear seat in order
to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will
properly fit the child.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand upor kneel on the seat.
Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback; it may not
provide adequate security inan accident.
Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they
are in a moving vehicle, asthis could result in serious
injury to the child in the event
of an accident or a sudden
stop. Holding a child in a mov-
ing vehicle does not provide
the child with any means of
protection during an accident,
even if the person holding the
child is wearing a seat belt.
WARNING
Before installing the child restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manu-
facturer.
Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding childrestraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an acci-dent.
