QRecommended child restraint systems and Compatibility table
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be a vail-

When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear sea t, it
may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next
to the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt
effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your s houl-
der and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes w ith the
child restraint, move to a different position.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
