seat. According to accident statis-

tics, children are safer when prop-

erly restrained in the rear seat than

in the front seat. If you must install a

front-facing child restraint in the

front seat, see “CHILD RESTRAINT

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT

BELTS” later in this section.

. Improper use or improper installa-

tion of a child restraint can increase

the risk or severity of injury for both

the child and other occupants of the

vehicle and can lead to serious

injury or death in an accident.

. Follow all of the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for in-

stallation and use. When purchasing

a child restraint, be sure to select

one which will fit your child and

vehicle. It may not be possible to

properly install some types of child

restraints in your vehicle.

. If the child restraint is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a collision or a sudden

stop greatly increases.

. Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for adult

seat belts or harnesses.

. Adjustable seatbacks should be

positioned to fit the child restraint,

but as upright as possible.

. After attaching the child restraint,

test it before you place the child in

it. Push it from side to side while

holding the seat near the LATCH

attachment or by the seat belt path.

The child restraint should not move

more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side

to side. Try to tug it forward and

check to see if the belt holds the

restraint in place. If the restraint is

not secure, tighten the belt as

necessary, or put the restraint in

another seat and test it again. You

may need to try a different child

restraint. Not all child restraints fit

in all types of vehicles.

. When your child restraint is not in

use, keep it secured with the LATCH

system or a seat belt to prevent it

from being thrown around in case of

a sudden stop or accident.

CAUTION

Remember that a child restraint left in a

closed vehicle can become very hot.

Check the seating surface and buckles

before placing your child in the child

restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child

restraint lower anchor system, referred to as the

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System

or LATCH. Some child restraints include two

rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can

be connected to these lower anchors. For

details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers for

CHildren SYSTEM (LATCH)” later in this sec-

tion.

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.

(See “CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION

USING THE SEAT BELTS” later in this section.)

In general, child restra ints are also designed to

be installed with a lap/shoulder seat belt.

Several manufacturers offer child restraints for

infants and small children of various sizes. When

selecting any child restraint, keep the following

points in mind:

. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
