Owner`s manual

O If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various ad-
justments to be sure the booster seat is
compatible with your child. Always
follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
WARNING
O Improper use of a booster seat can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of the
vehicle.
O Follow all of the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a booster seat, be
sure to select one which will fit your child
and vehicle. It may not be possible to
properly install some types of booster
seats in your vehicle.
O If the booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
O Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up-
right as possible.
O After placing the child in the booster seat
and fastening the seat belt, make sure
the shoulder portion of the belt is away
from the child’s face and neck and the
lap portion of the belt does not cross the
abdomen.
O Do not put the shoulder belt behind the
child or under the child’s arm. If you
must install a booster seat in the front
seat, see “Booster seat installation on
front passenger seat” later in this sec-
tion.
O When your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seat-
ing surface and buckles before placing your
child in the booster seat.
