Child Seat

CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. It is always better to secure a child restraint in the rear seat. If a forward-facing child seat is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then ins tall the child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the vehicle owner's manual and the instructions that came with the child restraint.

When the child seat is used in the front seat, it is installed by connecting the following components:

^ The child seat tether
^ The seat belt at the seating position to the rear

A special dealer-installed tether must be used in order to secure the child seat tether when a child seat that requires a top strap will be used in the rear seat. The child seat must be used only at the seating position for which the anchor is installed. This action will ensure that the angle of the child seat tether is correct.
