1-7. Safety information
Child restraint systems
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the LATCH anchors or the lap portion
of the lap/shoulder belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the
use of child restraint systems.
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is
much safer than installing one to the front pa ssenger seat.
● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is
appropriate to the age and size of the child.
● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
