WARNING
¼ Improper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.
¼ Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child
restraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
¼ If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
¼ Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.
¼ After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Push it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary. You may need to
try a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles.
¼ If you install a front facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see “Child
restraint installation on front passen-
ger seat” later in this section.
¼ When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.
