WARNING
■
When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
restraint system.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
● Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In
a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a child
restraint system in the center seat.
● When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If
it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint s\
ystem.
