BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR 1–21
CHILD RESTRAINT
When transporting infants or small children,
an appropriate child restraint system should
always be used.
The child restraint system should be appro-
priate for your child's weight and height and
properly fit the car's seat.
Accident statistics indicate that children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
WARNING
• When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer.
• When not in use, keep your child
restraint system secured with a
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle.
• Do not hold a child in a person's
arm while riding in a vehicle.
• Never let a child to stand or kneel
on any seat.
• Do not allow a child in the cargo
areas while the vehicle is moving.
• Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with
the seat belt.
If child's seating position has a
shoulder belt which is on or very
close to the face or neck, move the
child close to the center of the ve-
hicle, slightly inboard of the shoul-
der belt, or move the child to a po-
sition without a shoulder belt if
possible.
WARNING
• Infants and small children should
always be restrained in a infant or
child restraint.
• NEVER INSTALL A REAR-FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT IN FRONT SEAT
WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR
BAG.
A child in a rear-facing child re-
straint installed in the front seat
can be seriously injured if the
front passenger air bag inflates.
Secure a rear-facing child re-
straint in the rear seat.
A front-facing child restraint
should be secured in the rear seat
whenever possible. If installed in
the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat as far back as it will go.
CAUTION
Damaged seat belt can cause more
serious injury.
• Inspect seat belt assemblies peri-
odically.
• Inspect seat belts and other con-
stituent parts after every collision.
• Replace seat belts if webbing be-
come frayed, contaminated or
damaged in any way.
• Replace the entire seat belt assem-
bly after severe impact even if the
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
Improper seat belt could cause more
serious injuries.
Do not modify seat belt.
