1–24 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
WARNING
• When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer.
• When not in use, keep your child
restraint system secured with a
seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle.
• Do not hold a child while riding
in a vehicle.
• Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat.
• Do not allow a child in the cargo
areas while the vehicle is moving.
• Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with
the seat belt.
If child’s seating position has a
shoulder belt which is on or very
close to the face or neck, move the
child close to the center of the
vehicle, slightly inboard of the
shoulder belt, or move the child to
a position without a shoulder belt
if possible.
CHILD RESTRAINT
When transporting infants or small children,
an appropriate child restraint system should
always be used.
The child restraint system should be appro-
priate for your child’s weight and height and
properly fit the car’s seat.
Accident statistics indicate that children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
WARNING
• Infants and small children should
always be restrained in a infant or
child restraint.
• NEVER INSTALL A REAR-FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT IN FRONT SEAT
WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR
BAG.
• A child in a rear-facing child re-
straint installed in the front seat
can be seriously injured if the
front passenger air bag inflates.
Secure a rear-facing child re-
straint in the rear seat.
• A front-facing child restraint
should be secured in the rear seat
whenever possible. If installed in
the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat as far back as it will go.
WARNING
Pregnant women and unborn child
could be injured.
• Use a lap-shoulder seat belt if pos-
sible (Consult your doctor).
• Lap belt should be worn as low as
possible throughout the
pregnancy.
Pregnant Women
It is recommended that pregnant women use
seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific
recommendations.
