Infant and Child Restraint
Systems
We recommend that all infants and
children be properly restrained at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except driver seat
have special seat belt retractors for
secure fastening of child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint use this seat
belt:
Follow child restraint instructions for
routing. Then pull shoulder belt out
completely and let it retract. During the
seat belt retraction a ratcheting sound
can be heard to indicate that the
special seat belt retractor is activated.
The belt is now locked. Push down on
child restraint to take up any slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle
and let seat belt retract completely.
The seat belt can again be used in the
usual manner.
Warning!
Never release the seat belt buckle
while vehicle is in motion, since the
special seat belt retractor will be
deactivated.
Important!
The use of infant or child restraints is
required by law in all 50 states and all
Canadian provinces.
Infants and small children should be
seated in an appropriate infant or child
restraint system properly secured by a
lap-shoulder belt, and that complies with
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 and Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.1. A state-
ment by the child restraint manufacturer
of compliance with this standard can be
found on the instruction label on the
restraint and in the instruction manual
provided with the restraint.
When using any infant or child restraint
system, be sure to carefully read and
follow all manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
Please read and observe warning labels
affixed to inside of vehicle.
