A toddler or child is usually too large for an in­
fant restraint if it is more than one year old and
weighs more than 20 lbs (9 kg) .
T oddlers and children who are o lder than one
year up to about 4 years old and weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) up to 40 lbs (18 kg) must always be
properly restrained in a ch ild safety seat cert ified
for the ir s ize and weight ¢
fig. 172 and
¢ fig. 173 .
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front
seat a potentially dangerous place for a child to
ride . The front seat is not the safest place for a
chi ld in a fo rward-facing chi ld safety seat. It is a
ve ry dangero us p lace for an infant or a la rger
ch ild in a rearward -facing seat.
_.6 WARNING
-Not using a ch ild safety seat, using the wrong
child safety seat or improper ly installing a
child restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a collis ion or oth­
er emergency situation.
- Children on the front seat of any car, even
with Advanced Airbags, can be seriously in­
jured or even killed when an a irbag inflates.
A ch ild in a rearward-facing child safety seat
installed on the front passenger seat will be
seriously injured and can be killed if the
front airbag inflates - even with an Ad­
vanced Airbag System.
- T he inflating a irbag w ill hit the child safety
seat or infant carrier with great force and
will smash the ch ild safety seat and chi ld
against the backrest, center arm rest, door
or roof.
- Always install rear-facing child safety seats
on the rear seat.

_& WARNING
If exceptional c ircumstances req uire the use
of a forward -facing chi ld restraint on the
front passenger's seat, the child's safety and
well-being req uire that the following special
precautions be taken:
- Make sure the forward-fac ing seat has been
des igned and certified by its manufacturer
for use on a front seat with a passenger
front and side airbag.
-Always follow the manufacturer's instruc­ tions provided with the child safety seat or infant carrier .
- Always move the front passenger seat into
the rearmost pos ition of the passenger
seat's fore and aft adjustment range, and as
far away from the airbag as possible before installing the ch ild rest raint .
- Always make sure that nothing prevents the
front passenger's seat from being moved to
the rea rmost pos ition in its fore and aft ad­
justment range.
- Always make sure the backrest is in an up­
right position.
- Never p lace or use any electr ica l device
(such as a laptop, CD player, e lectron ic
games device, power inve rter or sea t hea ter
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket. .,,.

Child safety
-If a seat heater has been retrof itted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat .
- Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such as a wet towe l) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion .
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games device,
power inverter or seat heater for child
seats) . These may influence the e lectr ica l
capacitan ce measured by the capacitive pas­
senger detection system and can also fly
around in an acc ident and ca use serio us pe r­
sonal injury .

Booster seats and safety belts
Properly used booster sea ts can help protect
children weighing between about 40 lbs and
80 lbs (18 kg and 36 kg) who are less than 4 ft 9
in (57 in/1 .45 m) tall.

The vehicle's safety belts alone wi ll not fit most
children until they are at least 4
ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) tall and weigh about 80 lbs (36 kg) .
Booster seats raise these children up so that the
safety be lt will pass properly over the stronger
parts of their bodies and the safety belt can help
protect them in a crash.
.. Do not use the convertib le locking retractor
when us ing the ve hicle's safety belt to restra in
a child on a booster seat .
.., The shoulder belt must lie as close to the cen­
ter of the child's collar bon e as possib le and
must l ie flat and snug on the uppe r body.
It
must never lie across the throat or neck. The
lap belt must lie ac ross the pelvis and never
across t he stomach or abdomen . Make sure the
belt lies flat and snug. Pu ll on the belt to tight­
en if necessary.
.. Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
¢page 227.
Children up to at least 8 years o ld (over 40 lbs or
18 kg) are best protected in child safety seats de ­
s igned for their age and weight. Experts say that
the skeletal structure, part icu larly the pelvis, of
these children is not fully developed, and they must not use the vehicle safety belts without a
su itab le child restra int.
It is usually best to put these children in appro­
pr iate booster seats . Be sure the booster seat
meets a ll applicab le safety standards .
Booster seats raise the seating position of the
c hi ld and reposition both the lap and shoulder
parts of the safety belt so that they pass across
the chi ld's body in the right places . The rou ting of
the be lt over the ch ild's body is very important
fo r the child's protection, whet he r or not a boos ­
ter seat is used. C hildren age 12 and under m ust

Never use the lap belt port ion of the vehicle's
safety belt alone to restra in any child, regard less
of how b ig the child is. A lways remember that
c hi ldre n do not have the pronounced pe lvic struc ­
ture requ ired for the proper function of lap belt

Activating the convertible locking retractor
Use the convertible locking retractor to secure a
child restraint.
Always heed the child safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing a child restraint in
your vehicle. To activate the convertible locking
retractor:
.,. Place the child restraint on a seat, preferably
on the rear seat.
.,. Slowly pull the belt
all the way out.
.,. Route it around or through the child restraint
belt path
¢ _A .
.,. Push the child safety seat down with your full
weight to get the safety belt really tight .
.,. Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for that
seating position .
234
.,. Guide the safety belt back into the retractor un­
til the belt lies flat and snug on the child safety
seat.
.,. You should hear a "clicking" noise as the belt
winds back into the inertia reel. Test the con­
vertible locking retractor by pulling on the belt .
You should no longer be able to pull the belt
out of the retractor. The convertible locking re­
tractor is now activated.
.,. Make sure that the red release button is facing
away from the child restraint so that it can be
unbuckled quickly.
.,. Pull on the belt to make sure the safety belt is
properly tight and fastened so that the seat
cannot move forward and sideways more than
1 in (2.5 cm).
_&. WARNING
Using the wrong child restraint or an improp­
erly installed child restraint can cause serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
- Always make sure that the safety belt re­
tractor is locked when installing a child
safety seat. An unlocked safety belt retrac­
tor cannot hold the child safety seat in place
during normal driving or in a crash.
-Always buckle the child safety seat firmly in
place even if a child is not sitting in it. A
loose child safety seat can fly around during
a sudden stop or in a crash.
- Always make sure the seat backrest to which
the child restraint is installed is in an up­
right position and securely latched into
place and cannot fold forward. Otherwise,
the seatback with the child safety seat at­
tached to it could fly forward in the event of
an accident or other emergency situation .
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS when­
ever using a child restrained in a vehicle is
being used

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al­
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
