Child restraints

Installing a child restraint system

airbag against the child restraint's back-
rest could lead to serious or fatal inju-
ries.
If it is necessary for a child (not an in-
fant) to ride in the front seat, certain pre-
cautions should be taken. First, move
the passenger seat as far away from the
dashboard as possible. This important
precaution is intended to maximize the
distance between the airbag and the
child. Older children should be tightly
secured with the safety belt. Younger
children should be secured in an appro-
priate forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem that has first been properly secured
with a safety belt.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front passenger seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read
and comply with the instructions for in-
stallation and use provided by the child
restraint's manufacturer whenever you
use such a device.
Be sure that all occupants (of all ages)
remain properly and securely restrained
at all times.

All rear seating positions in your vehicle
meet the recommendations of SAE
J1819, an industry recommended prac-
tice for securing child restraint systems
in motor vehicles.

All of the rear belt retractors and the
front passenger's safety belt can be
locked for mounting and securing child
restraint systems.

Information pertaining to this is located
in the immediate vicinity of the buckle
latch of each safety belt.

Lock the safety belt

Extract the entire length of the belt from
the inertia reel mechanism. Allow the
reel to retract the belt somewhat and
engage the buckle, then tighten the belt
against the child restraint system. The
retraction mechanism is now locked.
The belt cannot be extracted further.
Always comply with the installation
instructions provided by the manufac-
turer of the child restraint system.

Unlock the safety belt

Release the safety belt, remove the
child's seat and pull the safety belt out
to its end position on the belt retractor.
