If a child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place ( for example , if a child restraint system can be moved more than 1 in ( 2.5 cm ) from side to side ), the child restraint system should be moved to a window-side seat position of the secondrow seat or to a left side seat of the thirdrow seat .

WARNING
. Even with advanced airbags , children can be seriously injured by the airbag . Seat children in the rear seat properly restrained at all times . The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children , especially if they are not restrained or improperly restrained . Because children are lighter and weaker than adults , their risk of being injured from deployment is greater .
For that reason , be sure to secure ALL types of child restraint systems ( including forward facing child restraint systems ) in the REAR seats at all times . You should choose a restraint system which is appropriate for the child ’ s age , height and weight . According to accident statistics ,
|
children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions .
. Do not use lower anchorages ( bars ) for a seat in the center seating position unless a child restraint system manufacturer ’ s instructions permit and specify using anchors spaced as far apart as those in this vehicle .
. Do not connect two or more lower hooks onto the same anchorage ( bar ).
