■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to chokin g or other serious injuries that could result
in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure
that it has been securely installed.
● After securing a child restrain t system, never adjust the seat.
●When a booster seat is installed, always en sure that the shoulder belt is positioned
