Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags / Child restraint systems
restraint system manufacturer’ s instructions permit and specify using anchors as far apart as those in this vehicle.
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), you should install the child restraint system in a rear seat, window-side seating position.
WARNING
. Even with advanced airbags, children can be seriously injured by the airbag. Put 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 devices( including forward facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times. You should choose a restraint device 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 PASSENGER’ S SRS AIRBAG, NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD OR REARWARD FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER’ 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.
