Placement of a Child Restraint System
We recommend that, whenever possible, you put the
child restraint system in the center position of the rear
seat and secure it to the vehicle with the lap belt.
If the center rear seat is not available, or you are using
more than one child restraint system in the vehicle at
the same time, the rear outboard safety belts have been
designed to allow a child restraint system to be used in
these positions. Since those seats normally lock only
under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency
lock mode) you must manually adjust those belts to the
auto lock mode.

WARNING - Child Restraints
• Children will be endangered in a crash if
their child restraint systems are not proper-
ly secured by the safety belts in the vehicle.
• According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions rather than the front seat-
ing positions.
• When a child restraint system is not secured
by a safety belt, store it in the trunk so that
it will not be thrown forward in the event of
a sudden stop or accident.
