Owner's Manual
A
child in
a
rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back
of
a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure
a
rearfacing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
.about the top strap
if
the child restraint has one.
1.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger
air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats”
in
the Index.)
2.
Put the restraint
on
the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4.
Pick up the latch plate, and
run
the lap qnd shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will
show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.
If
the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
