CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit
in the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should
use one of the seat belts provided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child and/
or infant safety seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards of
your country.
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by the lap
belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
syst em, make sure it fits your car seat
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow
all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.
WARNING
• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never install
a child or infant seat on the front
passenger’s seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passenger-side
air bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated
in an infant or child seat. Thus only
use a child restraint in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
• A seat belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even
if the outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
• When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the luggage area or
fasten it with a seat belt so that it will
not be thrown forward in the case of
a sudden stop or an accident.
• Children may be seriously injured
or killed by an inflating air bag. All
children, even those too large for
child restraints, must ride in the rear
seat.
