WARNING
. Before installing a child restraint system , be sure to confirm that the seatback is securely locked into place . Otherwise , in an accident , serious injury or death could result .
. Do not leave children in the car unattended . High interior temperatures may cause heat stroke and dehydration that result in serious injury or death .
WARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child on their lap or in their arms while the vehicle is moving . The passenger cannot protect the child ( or infant ) from injury in a collision , because the child will be caught between the passenger and objects inside the vehicle . Additionally , if a passenger holds a child on their lap or in their arms in the front seat , they expose the child to another serious danger . Since the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force , the child could be injured or even killed .
WARNING
Children should be properly restrained at all times when in the vehicle . Never allow a child to stand or kneel on any seat . An unrestrained child will be thrown forward during a sudden stop or in an accident and can be injured seriously . Additionally , a child who stands or kneels on or in front of the front seat is exposed to another serious danger . Since the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force , the child could be injured or even killed .
