Warning!
The “LATCH” mounting fittings are intended for
children up to 50 lbs (22 kg) in weight.
Children too big for child restraint systems must
ride in back seats using regular seat belts. Position
shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or
neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper belt positioning for children from 41 lbs. to
the point where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly
without one.
Before installing the child seat, make sure the
mounting fittings (1) are folded out and locked in
place.
Install child seat according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
The child seat must be firmly attached in the right
and left side mounting fittings (1).
An incorrectly mounted child seat may come loose
during an accident which could result in serious
injury or death to your child.
Damaged or impact damaged child seats or child
seat mounting fittings must be replaced.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle,
even if the children are secured in a child restraint
system.
