Child restraint systems seat .
If a child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place ( for example , if a child restraint system can be moved more than 1 inch ( 2.5 cm ) from side to side ), the child restraint system should be moved to a window seat position of the rear 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 ).
WARNING
. SINCE YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PASSEN- GER ’ S SRS AIRBAG , NEVER IN- STALL A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PAS- SENGER ’ S SEAT . DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA- CING THE CHILD ’ S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG .
. Do not allow children to lean their heads or any other parts of their bodies against the door or the area of the seat , front and rear pillars or roof side rails . The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags deploy even if children are seated in the child restraint system , and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child .
. To secure the child restraint system , be sure to comply with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer . Not doing so could result in death or serious injury to children in a sudden stop or accident .
