Securing an infant seat with a seat belt

G026417

Do not place the infant seat in the front passeng-
er's seat

NOTE

Refer to pages 46–48 for information on
securing a child restraint using ISOFIX/
LATCH lower anchors and/or top tether
anchorages.

WARNING

•

An infant seat must be in the rear-facing
position only.

•

The infant seat should not be positioned
behind the driver's seat unless there is
adequate space for safe installation.

1.

Place the infant seat in the rear seat of the
vehicle.

Positioning the seat belt through the infant seat

2.

Attach the seat belt to the infant seat
according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

G026492

Fasten the seat belt

WARNING

A child seat should never be used in the
front passenger seat of any vehicle with a
front passenger airbag – not even if the

Passenger airbag off

 symbol near the rear-

view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equip-
ped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the
severity of an accident were to cause the
airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious
injury or death to a child seated in this posi-
tion.

3.

Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch
plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct
click is audible.
