SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN
Child and infant or child safety seats
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the
child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions with the
safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the
safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.
When installing a child safety seat:
•
Review and follow the information
presented in the
Air bag
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) section in this chapter.
•
Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).
•
Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure
the tongue is securely fastened in
the buckle.
•
Place seat back in upright position.
•
Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to
Automatic
locking mode
section in this chapter.
