WARNING
Not using a booster seat, using the booster seat
improperly, incorrectly installing a booster seat
or using the vehicle safety belt improperly in-
creases the risk of serious personal injury and
death in a collision or other emergency situa-
tion. To help reduce the risk of serious personal
injury and/or death:
●
Never use the switchable locking feature
when using the vehicle's safety belt to re-
strain a child on a booster seat.
●
Always make sure to position the shoulder
portion of the 3 point belt over the middle of
the child's shoulder.
●
Never let the shoulder portion of the safety
belt rest against or across the neck, face,
chin, or throat of the child.
●
Always make sure the lap belt portion of the
3 point belt is worn snugly across the upper
thighs. Never let the lap belt portion of the
safety belt pass over the child's stomach or
abdomen.
●
Never let a child put the shoulder belt under
the arm or behind the back, because it could
cause severe injuries in a crash.
●
Failure to properly route safety belts over a
child's body will cause severe injuries in a
collision or other emergency situation.
●
Children on the front seat of any car, even
with Advanced Airbags, can be seriously in-
jured or even killed when an airbag inflates.
●
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat,
for example, the front seat.
●
Never let a child ride in the cargo area of
your vehicle.
●
Always remember that a child leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of position in
any way during a collision can be struck by a
deploying airbag. This will result in serious
personal injury or death.
●
If you must install a booster seat on the front
passenger seat because of exceptional cir-
cumstances, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
 
