SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
s01ag19
S_103087-MW
Infants and children must be placed in an
infant or child restraint system on the rear
seat while riding in the vehicle.
You must use an infant or child restraint
system that meets Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canada Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards, is compatible with
your vehicle and is appropriate for the
child’s age and size.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt
(except those described in “Installation of
Child Restraint Systems by Use of Lower
and Tether Anchors (LATCH)” �P78).
Children could be endangered in an
accident if their child restraint systems
are not properly secured in the vehicle.
When installing the child restraint system,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint
system at all times while the vehicle is

moving.
WARNING
. Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that the
seatback is securely locked into
place. Otherwise, in an accident,
serious injury or death could result.
. Do not leave children in the car
unattended. High interior tempera-
tures may cause heat stroke and
dehydration that result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
S_103088-MW
Never let a passenger hold a child on
their lap or in their arms while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect the child (or infant) from
injury in a collision, because the child
will be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle. Addi-
tionally, if a passenger holds a child on
their lap or in their arms in the front
seat, they expose the child to another
serious danger. Since the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed and
force, the child could be injured or
even killed.
WARNING
S_103089-MW
Children should be properly restrained
at all times when in the vehicle. Never
allow a child to stand or kneel on any
seat. An unrestrained child will be
thrown forward during a sudden stop
or in an accident and can be injured
seriously. Additionally, a child who
stands or kneels on or in front of the
front seat is exposed to another
serious danger. Since the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed and
force, the child could be injured or
even killed.
SAFETY TIPS FOR INSTALLING
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
s01ag16
WARNING
. Child restraint systems and seat-
belts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check the child restraint
system before you place a child in
it.
. Do not use a seatbelt extender. If a
seatbelt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seatbelt will not securely hold
the child restraint system. Use of a
seatbelt extender could cause
death or serious injury to children
or other passengers in sudden
braking, swerving, or accidents.
