are not properly secured in the vehicle
and/or the child is not properly secured in
the child restraint.
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in 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 seat
belt positioning for children over 41 lb
(18 kg) until they reach a height where a
lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a
booster.
When the child restraint is not in use,
remove it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint
from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident.
Installation of infant and child restraint
systems

Warning!
Always lock the seat backrests in their
upright position when the rear seats are
occupied by passengers, after installing top
tether straps, or the extended cargo
compartment is not in use. Make sure that
seat backrests are secured properly by
pushing and pulling on the seat backrests.
If a seat backrest is not locked properly, the
seat backrest could fold. The child seat
would no longer be supported properly or
positioned to provide its intended benefit.
That could cause serious or even fatal
injuries.
This vehicle is equipped with tether
anchorages for a top tether strap at each of
the rear seating positions.
Top tether straps enable an additional
connection to be made between child
restraint systems secured with LATCH-type
anchors and rear seats. This can further
reduce the risk of injury.
