Safety of Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not
carry a child age 12 or under as a pass enger. This is because children who
have outgrown child seats are also at ri sk of being injured or killed by an
inflating passenger

Safe DrivingIf a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat in
the passenger’s seating position. For the
child’s safety, check th at the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
If you decide that a child can safely ride in this vehicle: • Make sure you read and full y understand the instructions and safety information
in this manual.
• Move the passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.
• Check that the seat belt is properly positi oned so that the child is secure in the
seat.
■ Monitoring a child passenger
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on a child passenger. Even older,
more mature children sometime s need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and
sit up properly.
■Booster Seats1Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat , make sure to read the
instructions that came with it, and install the seat
accordingly.
There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat
belt correctly.
Some U.S. states, and Canadian provinces and territories require children to use a booster seat until
they reach a given age or we ight (e.g. six years or 60
lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or
province, or territory where you intend to drive.
