Protecting Children

If it is necessary to put a forward-

facing child seat in the front, move

the vehicle seat as far to the rear as

possible, be sure the child seat is

firmly secured to the car, and the

child is properly strapped in the seat.

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/

Shoulder Belt

The lap/shoulder belts in the outer

back and front passenger seating

positions have a locking mechanism

that must be activated to secure a

child seat.

The following pages provide

instructions on how to secure a

forward-facing child seat with this

type of seat belt.

See page

36

for how to secure a

forward-facing child seat in the

center back seat with the lap belt.

1. With the child seat in the desired

back seating position, route the

belt through the child seat

according to the seat maker's

instructions, then insert the latch

plate into the buckle.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Improperly placing a forward-

facing child seat in the front

seat can result in serious injury

or death if the airbags inflate.

If you must place a forward-

facing child seat in front, move

the vehicle seat as far back as

possible and properly restrain

the child.
