26 Safety
Integrated booster seat
(accessory)
Integrated booster seats are available as
part of the rear seat backrest.
This child restraint is designed for use by
children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs.
(15 and 36 kg) and are between 38 and 54
inches (970 and 1370 mm) in height.
A child sitting in an integrated booster seat
must use the car’s regular lap and shoulder
belt. Regardless of the child’s weight and
age, proper contact between child and belt
is vital. Always make certain that the seat is
undamaged and is kept clean so that it will
function properly.
This child restraint system conforms to all
applicable motor vehicle safety standards.
Folding out
1 Press in the latches and lift and remove
the car’s regular head restraint. Turn it
180° and remount it. Make certain that it
is locked securely in place.
2 Lift up the booster seat’s headrest.
3 Pull out the upper part of the opener
strap and lower the seat itself. Make cer-
tain that it is locked in the lowered posi-
tion.
Fasten the belt
• See that the child is seated as far back as
possible against the back support.
• Adjust the booster seat’s head support so
that its center is at ear height.
• To attach the belt, pull it out slowly and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Make
certain the latch plate is properly engaged
in the buckle.
• The lap portion of the belt must be posi-
tioned low on the pelvis, and the shoulder
strap must be as far in on the shoulder as
possible without chafing against the
child’s neck or causing discomfort.
• The belt must contact the body firmly to
provide the best protection. Pull up on the
shoulder strap to tension the belt properly.
• Make certain the belt moves freely
between the retractor and the buckle.
