SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN
Child and infant or child safety seats
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size
and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the
manufacturer’s instructions with the safety seat you
put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the
safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a
sudden stop or collision.
When installing a child safety seat:
• Use the correct
safety belt buckle
for that seating
position.
• Insert the belt
tongue into the
proper buckle until
you hear a snap and
feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely
fastened in the buckle.
• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and
away from the safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the release button, to
prevent accidental unbuckling.
• Place seat back in upright position.
• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode.
Refer to Automatic locking mode.
