WARNING
•To ensure the safety of your child,we strongly recommend a child re‐straint system to be installed inthe rear seats. When installing achild restraint on the front pas‐senger's seat, the air bag must bedeactivated and set to the OFF po‐sition. (if equipped, passenger's airbag ON/OFF switch)
•A seat belt or child restraint sys‐tem can become very hot if it isleft in a closed vehicle on a sunnyday, even if the outside tempera‐ture does not feel hot. Be sure tocheck the seat cover and bucklesbefore placing a child there.

•When the child restraint system isnot in use, store it in the luggagearea or fasten it with a seat beltor ISOFIX anchorage, so that it willnot be thrown forward in case of asudden stop or an accident.
•All children, even those too largefor child restraints, should ride inthe rear seat. All children, eventhose too large for child restraints,should ride in the rear seats.

•Always make sure the child re‐straint system is secured properlyin the vehicle and your child is se‐curely restrained in the child re‐straint system.
•Never hold a child in your arms orlap when riding in a vehicle. The vi‐olent forces created during a crashwill tear the child from your armsand throw the child against the ve‐hicle’s interior.
•Never put a seat belt over yourselfand a child. During a crash, the beltcould press deep into the childcausing serious internal injuries.
•Never leave children unattended ina vehicle – not even for a shorttime. The vehicle can heat up veryquickly, resulting in serious injuriesto children inside the vehicle.Even very young children may in‐advertently cause the vehicle tomove, entangle themselves in thewindows, or lock themselves orothers inside the vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Never allow two children, or anytwo persons, to use the same seatbelt.
•Children often squirm and reposi‐tion themselves improperly. Neverlet a child ride with the shoulderbelt under their arm or behindtheir back. Always properly posi‐tion and secure children in the rearseat.
•Never allow a child to standup orkneel on the seat or floor of amoving vehicle. During a collisionor sudden stop, the child can be vi‐olently thrown against the vehi‐cle’s interior, resulting in seriousinjury.
•Never use an infant carrier or achild restraint system that "hooks"over a seatback, it may not pro‐vide adequate security in an acci‐dent.
•Seat belts can become very hot,especially when the vehicle isparked in direct sunlight. Alwayscheck the seat belt buckles beforefastening them over a child.
