Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly

“Child restraint systems” F1-22.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash

suitable for your vehicle. Refer to “Child
restraint systems” F1-22.

stand up or kneel on the seat.
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses

provide a good shoulder belt fit. Care must
be taken to securely place the lap belt as

arm or behind the c
