When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
 For small infants, an infant carrier should
be used. For small children whose height
when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie
in contact with the face or the throat, a
child seat should be used.
 The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety: THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
 Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the rear seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because of
the location of the seat belt buckles and
the shape of the seat cushion, it may be
difficult to securely install some manufac-
turer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled
forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child
restraint system.

Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and
positioned low on the abdomen so that it is
below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the
belt could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
 A FORWARD FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT should be used in the rear
seat whenever possible; if it must be used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to
do so could kill or cause serious injuries to
the child.
Infants and small children
Instruction:
WARNING
 When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or
fatal injury to your child.
 After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is positively secured.
If the child restraint system is not installed
securely, it may cause injury to the child
or other occupants in the case of accident
or sudden stops.

When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it
from being thrown around inside the vehi-
cle during an accident.
