Knowing your vehicle
Child restraint system
(Continued)
For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is  strongly rec-
ommended  and  is   required  by  law  in
almost all states. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for the
child  and  should be  installed  in  accor-
dance  with  the  manufacturer's  instruc-
tions.
Children  riding in  the  car should  sit  on
the rear seat and must always be proper-
ly restrained to minimize the risk of injury
in  an accident,  sudden  stop or  sudden
maneuver. According  to  accident statis-
tics,  children  are   safer  when  properly
restrained  in the  rear seats  than  in the
front seat.
Child restraint  systems  are designed  to
be secured  in vehicle seats  by lap belts
or the  lap belt  portion  of a lap/shoulder
belt, or by a LATCH system (if equipped).
Children  could be  injured  or killed  in  a
crash if  their  restraints are  not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child  seat or  infant seat  must  be used.
Before buying  a particular child  restraint
system,  make sure  it  fits  your  car and
seat belts,  and fits  your child. Follow  all
the  instructions   provided  by  the   child
seat  manufacturer   when  installing  the
child restraint system.
Since   a    safety   belt    or   child
restraint system can become very
hot if  it is in  a closed vehicle,  be
sure to  check the seat  cover and
buckles  before   placing   a  child
there.
When  the  child restraint  system
is not in  use, store it in  the trunk
or fasten  it  with a  safety belt  so
that it  will not be  thrown forward
in the case of a sudden stop or an
accident.
Children who  are too  large to be
in  a child  restraint  should  sit in
the  rear  seat  and  be  restrained
with   the  available   lap/shoulder
belts.

WARNING -
Child
restraints
A child  restraint system  must be
placed  in   the   rear  seat.  Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger’s seat.
Should  an   accident   occur  and
cause  the  passenger  air  bag  to
deploy, it could severely  injure or
kill an infant or child seated in the
front seat.
•  When
using
the
vehicles
lap/shoulder  safety belts,  always
make sure  that the  shoulder belt
portion is positioned midway over
the  shoulder,   never  across   the
neck or  behind the  back. The lap
belt  portion  of   the  lap/shoulder
belt must always be positioned as
low as possible on the child's hips
and as snug as possible.
