Installing a Child Seat

After selecting a proper child seat,
and a good position to install theseat, there are three main steps to
installing the seat:
1. Secure the child seat to the vehicle with a seat belt. All
child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap belt or
the lap part of a lap/shoulder
belt. A child whose seat is not
properly secured to the vehicle can be endangered in a crash.See pages 25 and 30 for
instructions on how to secure
child seats in this vehicle.

2. Make sure the child seat is
firmly secured. After
installing a child seat, push
and pull the seat forward and
from side to side to verify that it is secure.
To provide security during normal

driving maneuvers, as well as
during a collision, we recommend

that parents secure a child seat as

firmly as possible.

However, a child seat does not

need to be "rock solid." In some
vehicles or seating positions, it

may be difficult to install a child seat so that it does not move at all.

Some side-to-side or back-and-

forth movement can be expected
and should not reduce the child

seat's effectiveness.
If the child seat is not secure, try
installing it in a different seating

position, or use a different style of
child seat that can be firmly
secured in the desired seating

position. 3. Secure the child in the child
seat. Make sure the child is
properly strapped in the child seat according to the child seat
maker's instructions. A child
who is not properly secured in
a child seat can be thrown out
of the seat in a crash and
seriously injured.

Storing a Child Seat
When you are not using a childseat, either remove it and store it
in a safe place, or make sure it is
properly secured. An unsecured
child seat can be thrown around
the vehicle during a crash or sudden stop and injure someone.
Drive r an d Passenge r Safet y

Keep the seat belt's webbing and

latch clear of the seat parts when

you tilt the folding seats forward

or backward. This helps to

prevent damage to the seat belt
system.

Adjust the seat-back before you
start driving. Trying to adjust the

seat-back with the vehicle in

motion could cause you to lose

control.

Hea d Restraint s

See page 12 for important safety information and warnings about
how to properly position the head
restraints.
Head restraints are designed to
help reduce the risk of neck injuries. They are most effective when you
adjust them so the back of the
occupant's head rests against the
center of the restraint. A taller
person should adjust the restraintas high as possible. Push the lock knob to unlock the
head restraint. Move the restraint
up or down as required.
Adjust the head restraint before
you start driving. Trying to adjust it while driving could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.
To remove a head restraint for
cleaning or repair, push the
release button and pull the
restraint out of the seat-back.
