l
The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.
NOTE
l
Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it to make sure there is a good
fit. Because of the location of the seat belt
buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled
forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child
restraint system.
WARNING
l
When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-
tal injury to the child.
WARNING
l
After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops.
l
When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be
attached using one of the following two
ways:
• Using the lower anchorage in the front
passenger seat or the rear seat if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings
(See page 5-26).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-28).
Older children

Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug
and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise,
the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.
