TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELY
Both seating positions are fitted with a
head restraint. Lift the head restraint and
pass the tether strap between the head res-
traint and the seat back. It is recommended
to readjust the head restraint into the low-
est possible position.
Adjust the tether strap according to
the child-restraint manufacturer's
instructions. Before installing any child-res-
traint system, please read the following:
Never install a rearward-facing child-res-
traint system in the front passenger seat of
this vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an airbag
supplemental restraint system for the front
passenger. Because the backrest on any
rearward-facing child-restraint system –
of the kind designed for infants under
1 year and 20 Ibs. / 9 kg – would be within
the airbag's deployment range, you should
never mount such a device in the front pas-
senger seat, since the impact of the airbag
against the child-restraint's backrest could
lead to serious or fatal injuries.
If it is necessary for a child – not an infant –
to ride in the front seat, certain precautions
should be taken. First, move the passenger
seat as far away from the instrument panel
as possible. This important precaution is
intended to maximize the distance
between the airbag and the child. Older
children should be tightly secured with a
safety belt, after they have outgrown a
booster seat that is appropriate for their
age, height and weight. Younger children
should be secured in an appropriate for-
ward-facing child-restraint system that has
first been properly secured with a safety
belt. Never install a rearward-facing child-
restraint system in the front passenger
seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read and
comply with the instructions for installa-
tion and use provided by the child-
restraint's manufacturer whenever you use
such a device.
Be sure that all occupants – of all ages –
remain properly and securely restrained at
all times.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seating positi-
ons.<
All rear seats in your vehicle conform to the
guidelines defined in SAE J1819, an indus-
try recommended practice for securing
child-restraint systems in motor vehicles.
