Protecting Children

To deactivate the locking

mechanism in order to remove a
child seat, unlatch the buckle,
unroute the seat belt, and let the belt
fully retract.

Installing a Child Seat with the Lap
Belt

To install a forward-facing child seat

in the center back seat with the lap
belt, follow instruction number 1 on
page

34

for routing and latching the

seat belt. Then pull hard on the loose
end of the belt to remove any slack;
it may help to put weight on the child
seat while pulling on the belt. Finally,

follow instruction number 5 on page

35

to verify that the child seat is

secure.

Additional Precautions for Small

Children

Never hold a small child on your
lap.
If you are not wearing a seat

belt in a crash, you could be
thrown forward into the

dashboard and crush the child.

If you are wearing a seat belt, the
child can be torn from your arms
during a crash. For example, if
your car crashes into a parked

vehicle at 30 mph (48 km/h), a

30-lb (14 kg) child will become a
900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will
not be able to hold on.

Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child.
During a crash, the

belt could press deep into the child
and cause very serious injuries.
