4.
Buckle, position and release the safety belt as
described in “Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions”
earlier in this section. Make sure that the shoulder
belt crosses the shoulder.
To
remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt
edges together
so
that you can take them out
from
the
guides.
Pull
the guide upward to expose its storage clip,
and then slide the guide onto
the
clip. Rotate the guide and
clip inward and in between the seatback and the interior
body, leaving only the loop
of
elastic cord exposed.
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size.
In
fact,
the law in every state in the United States and in every
Canadian province says children up to some age must be
restrained while in
a
vehicle.
Smaller Children and Babies
I
A
CAUTION:
m
I
Smaller children and babies should always be
restrained in
a
child or infant restraint. The
instructions for the restraint will say whether it
is
the right type and size for your child.
A
very
young child’s hip bones are
so
small that
a
regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it
should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the
child’s abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child’s abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
So,
be sure that
any child small enough for one is always properly
restrained in
a
child or infant restraint.
