Child Restraint Systems
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.
& Safety Tips for Installing Child Restraint Systems
WARNING s01ag16
. 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,
