Child Safety Safety of Larger Children

Booster Seats

If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat in
the passenger’s seating position. For the child’s
safety, check that the child meets the booster
seat manufacturer’s recommendations.

Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks

If you decide that a child can safely ride in this vehicle, be sure that:

You have read and fully understand the instructions and safety information in

this manual.
The passenger seat is as far back as possible.

The child is sitting upright and well back in the seat.

The seat belt is properly positioned.

Monitoring a Child Passenger


We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on a child passenger. Even older,
more mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and
sit up properly.

Booster Seats

When installing a booster seat, make sure to read
the instructions that came with it, and install the
seat accordingly.
There are high-and low-type booster seats. Choose
a booster seat that allows the child to wear the
seat belt correctly.

Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories
require children to use a booster seat until they
reach a given age or weight (e.g. 6 years or 60
lbs/27 kg). Be sure to check current laws in the
state or province/territory where you intend to
drive.
