COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
99
To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the
manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the
child for the restraint system.
Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions
provided by its manufacturer of the system. General directions are
also provided under the following illustrations.
The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION
D Never put a rear−facing child restraint system on the front
seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if
a rear−facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
D Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward−facing child
restraint system on the front seat.
D A forward−facing child restraint system should be put on
the front seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying
airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. Do
not allow the child to lean over the front door or around the
front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
D After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is
secured in place according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause
death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden
stop or accident.
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the
seat belt or place it in the trunk or somewhere other than in the
passenger compartment. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint
system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to
permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system.
