Child Restraint Systems 59
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.
& Safety Tips for Installing
Child Restraint Systems
WARNING
s01ag16
. Do not use a seat belt extender. If
a seat belt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seat belt will not securely
hold the child restraint
system. Use of a seat belt 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.
Also, the seat belts should not
be caught behind the child restraint
system. 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.
. 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 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.
