CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
25
o Never use an infant carrier or child
safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback; it may not provide ad-
equate security in an accident.
o Never allow a child to be held in a
person's arms whilst they are in a
moving vehicle, as this could re-
sult in serious injury to the child
in the event of an accident or a
sudden stop. Holding a child in a
moving vehicle does not provide
the child with any means of pro-
tection during an accident, even if
the person holding the child is
wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly in-
creases.

Installation on Rear Seat Centre
Position
Use the centre seat belt for the rear to
secure the child restraint system as
illustrated. After installation of the child
restraint system, rock the child seat
back and forth, and side to side to
ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the
length of the seat belt. Then, if equipped,
insert the child restraint tether strap
hook into the child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the seat. Always
refer to the child restraint system
manufacturer’s recommendation before
installing the child restraint system in
your vehicle.

Installation on Outboard Rear
Seats
To install a child restraint system in the
outboard rear seats, extend the shoul-
der/lap belt from its retractor. Install the
child restraint system, buckle the seat
belt and allow the seat belt to take up
any slack. Make sure that the lap por-
tion of the belt is tight around the child
restraint system and the shoulder por-
tion of the belt is positioned so that it
cannot interfere with the child's head or
neck. After installation of the child re-
straint system, try to move it in all
directions to be sure the child restraint
system is securely installed.
