CAUTION 

(Continued)

After installing a child restraint, 
pull the shoulder belt all the 
way out of the retractor to set 
the lock (if equipped).

Secure any unused safety belts 
behind the child restraint so 
children cannot reach them.

CAUTION

Never hold a baby in your arms 
while riding in a vehicle. During 
a crash a baby will become so 
heavy you can't hold it. For 
example, in a crash at only 
40 km/h, a 5.5 kg baby will 
suddenly become a 110 kg 
force on your arms. The baby 
would be almost impossible to 
hold. Secure the baby in an 
infant restraint.

CAUTION

An unsecured child restraint 
may be tossed about the 
vehicle in a collision or sudden 
stop. You or your passengers 
could be injured. Secure the 
child restraint properly even if a 
child is not using the restraint.
