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.

. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON 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.
. For models with window-side belt guides, when installing a child restraint system( except when using LATCH), always ensure the seatbelt is threaded through the belt guide to secure the child restraint system.

S _ 103090-MW
Choose a child restraint system that is appropriate for the child’ s age and size( weight and height) in order to provide the child with proper protection. The child restraint system should meet all applicable requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for the United States or of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Canada. It can be identified by looking for the label on the child restraint system or the manufacturer’ s statement of compliance in the document attached to the system. Also it is important for you to make sure that the child restraint system is compatible with the vehicle in which it will be used.
NOTE
Some sizes of child restraint systems may not fit the vehicle seat. Before purchasing a child restraint system, check whether it fits on the vehicle seat.
