3 Children and babies
•
When carrying children or babies, they must be
restrained properly to minimize the risk of injury
in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Never
allow children to stand or kneel on the seats. For
maximum safety, we recommend fitting and
using a restraint system that complies with Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The use of child and/or baby restraint systems is
mandatory in some states. Please abide by your
state’s regulations.
• Older children may sit on the regular seats and
use the regular seat belts. However, make sure
that the shoulder belts do not cross their necks
or faces.
4 Pregnant women
Since a seat belt could exert undue pressure on the
abdomen in the event of an accident, pregnant
women should consult a doctor about the use of
seat belts before riding in the vehicle.
A pregnant woman should wear her seat belt as low
as possible across the hips, not across her abdo-
men.
WARNING
For maximum protection in the event of an
accident, the belt must not be loose. A loose
belt could even aggravate injuries.
