If you decide that a child can safely
ride in this vehicle, be sure to:
Carefully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
Supervise the child. Even a mature
child sometimes needs to be
reminded to fasten the seat belt or
sit properly.
To safely ride in this vehicle, a child
must be able to follow the rules,
including sitting properly, and
wearing the seat belt properly
throughout ride.
Physically, a child must be large
enough for the lap/shoulder belt to
properly fit (see pages
and
). If
the seat belt does not fit properly,
with or without the child sitting on a
booster, the child should not sit in
this vehicle.
If the passenger’s airbag inflates in a
moderate to severe frontal collision,
the airbag can cause serious injuries
to a child who is unrestrained,
improperly restrained, sitting too
close to the airbag, or out of position.
Of course, children vary widely. And
while age may be one indicator of
when a child can safely ride in this
vehicle. There are other important
factors you should consider.
