Infants and small children must be seated in

TM

compatible in-

fant or child restraint system, which is prop-

erly secured with the vehicle’s seat belt,

fully in accordance with the child seat man-

ufacturer’s instructions.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child restraints

are not properly secured in the vehicle and

the child is not properly secured in the child

restraint.

Warning!

G

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

backrest in an excessively reclined position

as this can be dangerous. You could slide

under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide

under it, the belt would apply force at the ab-

domen or neck. That could cause serious or

even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and

seat belt provide the best restraint when the

wearer is in a nearly upright position and the

belt is properly positioned on the body.

Warning!

G

Never let more people ride in the vehicle

than there are seat belts available. Be sure

everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly re-

strained with a separate seat belt. Never use

a seat belt for more than one person at a

time.

Warning!

G

Read and observe the additional warning no-

tices in the “Safety and Security” section

(

page 71).
