properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as

buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.

move the seat as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) 3. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle
seat belt properly (Refer to Child Restraints) should
be secured in a vehicle with a rear seat in child
restraints or belt-positioning booster seats. Older chil-
dren who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled
up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it
properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.

Air Bags room to inflate.
