Owner's Manual

‘I
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
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
rearfacing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rearfacing
child restraint in the rear seat.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and fun the lap and shoulder
portions
of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint
instructions
will show you how.
You’ll be using
the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.

3.
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.)
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
If the shoulder belt goes in .front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint,
5. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
