In a collision, you and your passengerscan suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or
you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle
are buckled up properly.

ignoring it.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be severely injur ed or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• A rearward-facing infant restraint must not be used in your vehicle unless the passenger airbag has been turned off. A rearward-facing infant restraint may be

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractorto route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

restraint with the Child Restraint Tether Anchor.
