Buckle, position and release the safety belt as
described in “Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
(4-DOOr
Models)” 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
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.
