adequately protect a child in a crash and may cause
injury to the child or another vehicle occupant.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

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 passenger. This is because children who
have outgrown child seats are also at ri sk of being injured or killed by an
inflating passenge r’s front airbag. If a larger child must ride in this vehicle, the
information in the following pages provides guidelines to help you decide when a
given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passenger’s seat using
the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the chil d sit upright and all the way back, then
answer the following questions.
■Checklist
• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over
the edge of the seat?
• Does the shoulder belt cross between the
child’s neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs?
• Will the child be able to stay seated like this
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.
■Protecting Larger Children
■Checking Seat Belt Fit
1 Safety of Larger Children
3WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in
the vehicle can result in injury or death if
the passenger’s fron t airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in the vehicle,
move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, have the child sit up properly and
wear the seat belt properly, using a booster
seat if needed.

uuChild Safety uSafety of Larger Children
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 fully 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 sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and
sit up properly.
■Booster Seats1 Booster 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.
