CHILDREN AND INFANT OR
CHILD SAFETY SEATS

Carefully follow all of the
manufacturer’s instructions

included with the safety seat you
put in your vehicle. If you do not
install and use the safety seat
properly, the child may be
injured in a sudden stop or
collision.

When installing a child safety seat:
• Use the correct safety belt

buckle for that seating position.

• Make sure the tongue is

securely fastened in the buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button

pointing up and away from the
safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the
release button, to prevent
accidental unbuckling.

• Place seatbacks in the upright

position.

• Put the safety belt in the

automatic locking mode. Refer
to How to use the automatic
locking mode.
