>> Safety.Infant and child restraint system*
We recommend all infants and children be
properly restrained at all times while the
vehicle is in operation.
The passenger lap
shoulder belt has a special
seat belt retractor for secure fastening of
child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint, follow all mounting
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer. Then pull the shoulder seat
belt out completely and let it retract. During
seat belt retraction, a ratcheting sound can
be heard to indicate that the special seat belt
retractor is activated. The seat belt is now
locked. Push down on child restraint to take up
any slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and let
seat belt retract completely. To deactivate
the special seat belt retractor for the pas

senger seat, the passenger seat must be in
the most backward position. The seat belt can
again be used in the usual manner.The use of infant or child restraints is
required by law in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, the U.S. territories, and all
Canadian provinces.
Infants and small children should be seated in
an appropriate infant or child restraint
system properly secured in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions for the child
restraint, that complies with U.S. Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 225
and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards 213, 213.1 and 213.2.Do not expose the child restraint system
to direct sunlight. The child restraint
system’s metal parts, for example, could
become very hot, and the child could be
burned on these parts.
If children open a door, they could
• injure other persons
• get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following
traffic
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment unless they are
firmly secured in place.
For more information, please refer to the
"Loading and storing section"
(
page 155).
Unsecured or improperly positioned
cargo increases a child’s risk of injury in
the event of
• strong braking maneuvers
• sudden changes of direction
• an accident
G
Warning!
Never release the seat belt buckle while
the vehicle is in motion, since the special
seat belt retractor will be deactivated.
