Child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is strongly rec-
ommended and is required by law in
almost all states. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for the
child and should be installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Children riding in the car should sit on
the rear seat and must always be proper-
ly restrained to minimize the risk of injury
in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the child
seat manufacturer when installing the
child restraint system.
WARNING-Child
restraints
• 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 air bag to
deploy, it could severely injure or
kill an infant or child seated in the
front seat.
• Since a safety belt or child
restraint system can become very
hot if it is in a closed vehicle, be
sure to check the seat cover and
buckles before placing a child
there.

• When the child restraint system
is not in use,store it in the trunk
or fasten it with a safety belt so
that it will not be thrown forward
in the case of a sudden stop or an
accident.
• Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in
the rear seat and be restrained
with the available lap/shoulder
belts.
• When using the vehicles
lap/shoulder safety belts,always
make sure that the shoulder belt
portion is positioned midway
over the shoulder, never across
the neck or behind the back. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoul-
der belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as
pos-
sible.
• If the vehicle’s safety belt will not
properly fit the child, you must
use an appropriate child restraint
or booster seat in the rear.
