Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Seatbelts
if damage is not obvious.
.
When replacing a seatbelt, the
new seatbelt must be type-ap-
proved and intended for installa-
tion in the same position as the
replaced seatbelt.
.
When wearing the seatbelt, insert
the tongue plate into the correct
buckle. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent, serious injury or death
could result.
.
Do not fasten your seatbelt with a
child on your knees. Otherwise,
in an accident, serious injury or
death could result.
.
Put children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropri-
ate for the child
’
s age, height and
weight. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are
not restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including for-
ward facing child seats) in the
REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD
’
S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions. For instructions
and precautions concerning the
child restraint system, refer to
“
Child restraint systems
” F
1-22.
!
Infants or small children
Use a child restraint system that is
suitable for your vehicle. Refer to
“
Child
restraint systems
” F
1-22.
!
Children
If a child is too big for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear seat
and be restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
Seatbelts are designed under the as-
sumption that adult-sized occupants will
use them. If the shoulder portion of the
belt crosses the face or neck, move the
child closer to the belt buckle to help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. Care must
be taken to securely place the lap belt as
low as possible on the hips and not on the
child
’
s waist. If the shoulder portion of the
belt cannot be properly positioned, a child
restraint system should be used. Never
place the shoulder belt under the child
’
s
arm or behind the child
’
s back.
!
Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the
seatbelts. They should consult their doctor
for specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips, not over the waist.
