WARNING: Always restrain an unoccupied child seat or booster
seat. These objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden

stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury.

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder
belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces

the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk
of injury or death in a crash.

WARNING: To avoid risk of injury, do not leave children or pets
unattended in your vehicle.
