Child restraint systems
WARNING
Children should be properly restrained at all times . Never allow a child to stand up , or to kneel on any seat . Unrestrained children will be thrown forward during sudden stop or in an accident and can be injured seriously .
Additionally , children standing up or kneeling on or in front of the front seat are exposed another serious danger . Since the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force , the child could be injured or even killed .

WARNING
. Child restraint systems and seatbelts can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather ; they could burn a small child . Check the child restraint system before you place a child in it .
. Do not use a seatbelt extender . If a seatbelt extender is used when installing a child restraint system , the seatbelt will not securely hold the child restraint system . Use of a seatbelt extender could cause death or serious injury to children or other passengers in sudden braking , swerving , or accidents .
. Attach the child restraint system to the anchors properly . When using the LATCH anchors , be sure that there are no foreign objects around the anchors . Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached . Otherwise it may cause death or serious injury to children or other passengers in sudden braking ,
swerving , or accidents .
. Do not leave an unsecured child restraint system in your vehicle . Unsecured child restraint systems can be thrown around inside of the vehicle in a sudden stop , turn or accident ; they can strike and injure vehicle occupants as well as result in serious injuries or death to the child .
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint system , follow the manufacturer ’ s instructions supplied with it . After installing the child restraint system , check to ensure that it is held securely in position . If it is not held tight and secure , the danger of your child suffering personal injury in the event of an accident may be increased .
